The 2024 Lovers & Friends festival lineup has been announced.
The festival returns Saturday, May 4, at Las Vegas Fairgrounds in Las Vegas, Nevada.
R&B king Usher will perform his groundbreaking album Confessions in honor of its 20th anniversary.
The star-studded R&B lineup also includes Janet Jackson, Mary J. Blige, Alicia Keys, TLC, Brandy, Monica, Ciara, Keyshia Cole, Jodeci, The-Dream, 6LACK, Tweet, Blaque, Amerie and more.
Additional performers outside of R&B include Backstreet Boys, Lil Wayne, Nelly, Gwen Stafani, Snoop Dogg, Nelly Furtado, M.I.A., Method Man & Redman, and more.
Presale begins this Friday, Jan. 26, at 10 a.m. PT. General Admission pricing starts at $325, GA+ at $595 and VIP at $695. According to Lovers & Friends Festival, all tickets start at $19.99 down.
Circling back to Usher, his performance will come just months after his headlining Super Bowl LVIII Halftime Show, which is Sunday, Feb. 11.
Two days before his highly anticipated performance, Usher will release his ninth album, Coming Home, via his mega imprint in partnership with gamma.
Coming Home will include his No. 1 single “Good Good” featuring Summer Walker and 21 Savage, “Risk It All” with H.E.R. and “Standing Next to You (Usher Remix)” with Jung Kook.
On June 4, Jackson will launch her headlining Together Again Summer 2024 Tour with Nelly as a special guest. The music icon will make 35 stops across North America, including San Fransisco, Denver, Chicago, Cleveland and Philadelphia.
While on tour, Jackson is filming her Family First documentary for A&E Networks. The doc will give fans an intimate look at life on the road on her Together Again Tour.
“I was touched by the love and support from the wonderful fans who enjoyed the documentary last year,” Jackson said. “I am excited to continue to share my story, and welcome fans into my life and the Together Again tour. Thank you for your never-ending support, and I hope you enjoy the next chapter.
Keys, who will be honored by the Gordon Parks Foundation in May, is gearing up for her Hell’s Kitchen musical to debut on Broadway on March 28 at Shubert Theatre. The official opening date is set for April 20.
In terms of music, Keys recently told WWD in an interview that she plans to start crafting new tunes for a future project.
“I’m going to start to work on the next body of work over these next couple of months,” Keys said to WWD. “And I’m excited to really just take all of the essences and energies and continue to explore where music takes me in its most truthful form.”
