Meanwhile, Hip Hop fans will be treated to electrifying sets from headliners Cardi B and Gunna, along with Sexyy Red, Glorilla, Nelly, BigXthaPlug, Young Nudy, T.I., Bossman Dlow, Method Man & Redman, DJ Mustard, and DJ Drama. Adding to the mix, Usher’s longtime DJ, DJ Mars, will curate a set to keep the energy high.
For those with an eclectic taste, new wave country artist Tanner Adell, the latest signee to LVRN Records, will make her debut at OMF, marking her first performance at a Black festival. The 2024 lineup has been meticulously crafted with fans in mind, promising everything from meet-and-greet opportunities with Method Man to surprise performances from special guests.
Dubbed “the greatest homecoming on earth,” this year’s ONE Musicfest promises an unparalleled experience. Attendees can expect a smooth entry process, multiple stages with nonstop music, and exciting new activations. From special social media experiences to health and fitness initiatives curated by Atlanta creatives, the festival is pulling out all the stops for its 15th anniversary.
OMF will also spotlight local vendors, offering a variety of culinary delights, custom merchandise, and a vendor village featuring Black-owned businesses. Bars throughout the festival grounds will serve up a range of beverages, including craft cocktails, beer, wine, and non-alcoholic options, ensuring everyone stays refreshed.
Over the years, ONE Musicfest has hosted historic moments and unforgettable performances. From headliners like Kendrick Lamar, Usher, and SZA to the final festival performances of DMX and Young Dolph, OMF has cemented its place in music history. Notable reunions, like Gangsta Boo rejoining Three 6 Mafia, and legendary performances from Outkast’s Big Boi and Andre 3000 with The Dungeon Family, have made OMF a must-attend event. The festival also honored the 25th anniversary of Nas’ debut album Illmatic with a special celebration on its stage.
Reflecting on the festival’s journey, ONE Musicfest Founder Jason “J” Carter shares, “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. 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.”
Get ready for an unforgettable weekend of music, culture, and celebration as ONE Musicfest marks its 15th year in style.
