ONE Musicfest returns for 15th anniversary with Atlanta staples Cardi B. and Gunna headlining
The Atlanta-based ONE Musicfest (OMF) announced the musical acts on Friday for its upcoming return.
OMF — which is considered the Southeast’s largest two-day urban progressive music festival — comes back to Piedmont Park for its 15th anniversary on Oct. 26-27.
The festival — nicknamed “the greatest homecoming on Earth” — has set the stage for some of the biggest names in R&B and hip hop. And this year is no different.
OMF will welcome Atlanta residents Cardi B. and Gunna to headline the celebration. They will be joined by Grammy Award-winning R&B artists Victoria Monét and Jill Scott, as well as music legends Earth, Wind & Fire.
Other musical acts scheduled for the two-day event include Atlanta staples T.I. and Monica, hip-hop duo Method Man and Redman, and Golden Globe-nominated entertainer Fantasia.
“It’s hard to believe we’ve reached the fifteen-year mark. We’ve grown into the longest-running and largest Black independently owned festival in the country and this journey has been a blessing,” said ONE Musicfest founder J Carter in a recent press release.
“Our commitment to the community remains steadfast as we continue to bring the biggest and brightest performers in music and the best activations with amazing partners,” he added.
Representatives for the festival say that this year’s lineup was selected with the fans first in mind. According to the press release, attendees can anticipate “special social media experiences, never-before-featured health and fitness initiatives and pop-ups curated by Atlanta creatives.”
These experiences will feature spotlights on Black-owned businesses throughout the metro Atlanta area, including food vendors and custom merchandise crafters.
OMF says it has seen roughly 50,000 music lovers annually travel to enjoy the experience of the festivities and musical performances.
Notable acts from last year’s festival included Kendrick Lamar, Janet Jackson and Megan Thee Stallion.
