50 Cent and Fat Joe are just two of the many titans enlisted to perform at Mary J. Blige’s annual festival that is scheduled to take place this summer.
On Wednesday (March 6), the Queen of Hip Hop Soul revealed the 2024 lineup for her Strength Of A Woman Festival & Summit, which was launched two years ago. Set to take place from May 10 – 12, the purpose of the gathering is to “empower, educate and elevate.”
Put together in partnership with Pepsi and Live Nation, the event will be based in New York City for the first time ever over Mother’s Day weekend. In addition to Fif and Joe, the roster will also feature Jill Scott, Jadakiss, Muni Long, Robert Glasper and many more.
Tickets are now available for purchase here.
Mary J. Blige is among those who were nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s 2024 class last month.
The full list of artists for this year, which totals 15, was announced in early February on the organization’s website and across its social channels. Blige, A Tribe Called Quest and Eric B & Rakim have all returned to ballot after being nominated previously.
To be eligible for the honor, an artist must have released their debut album at least 25 years earlier. Ten of the new nominees, including Mariah Carey, have never been on the ballot before.
The other artists on the list are Cher, Oasis, Jane’s Addiction, Peter Frampton, Sade, Lenny Kravitz, Foreigner, Kool And The Gang, Sinéad O’Connor, Dave Matthews Band and Ozzy Osbourne, who has already been inducted as a member of Black Sabbath.
Fans can vote for up to seven of their favorites once every day till April 26 by visiting the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame’s website.
The final list of inductees will be announced in late April, after which they’ll be honored at the Rock Hall Of Fame in Cleveland this fall. The special will be livestreamed on Disney+ and re-aired on ABC and Hulu at a later date.
