The Essence Festival is back in person and kicking things off in a major way. This year festivities will feature some of the biggest and brightest starts in the industry. Janet Jackson and Nicki Minaj will headline the four-night concert series when it returns to New Orleans’ Caesars Superdome from June 30 to July 3.
Kevin Hart will kick things off on Thursday, while New Edition caps off the festivities on Sunday. This year’s all-star lineup also includes The Isley Brothers, The Roots & Friends, Jazmine Sullivan, Summer Walker, D-Nice & Friends, and Chloe x Halle. More names will be announced in the near future.
The festival will be the first in-person since 2019. In 2020 it was canceled due to a the pandemic and 2021 was held virtually.
This will surely bring revenue back to New Orleans and also give repeated festival goers and newcomers alike a chance to enjoy the prestige Nola culture, fellowship with other music lovers, and experience some class acts.
