This year the festival aims to continue the momentum by announcing Janet Jackson as one of the headlines. Joining her on the stage is none other than Snoop Dog, alongside Charlie Wilson, and The O’Jays.
The festival was originally called the Ohio Valley Jazz when it was first held in 1962, starting as an all-jazz concert. The festival quickly evolved in a two-day festival featuring amazing artists in R&B, Jazz, soul, and Hip-Hop.
The two-day and night festival will also provide other heavy hitters with the following lineup:

This marks Justin Bierber’s first major album release after a five year gap. Despite the long wait Jusin Bieber still managed to release a few singles such as 2017’s “Friends,” feat.

This morning millions of fans woke up to the shocking news that Juice WRLD passed away from suffering a seizure at Chicago’s Midway Airport early this morning. Everyone knows of the young talented artist from his first hit single “Lucid Dreams” which made it to the top of the charts in 2018.
According to the Chicago Fire Department, Chicago police, and the Cook County medical examiner’s office, the Interscope-signed artist whose real name is Jarad Anthony Higgins was pronounced dead at 3:14 a.m. after being rushed to Christ Medical Center in Oak LawnUnfortunately Juice WRLD suffered cardiac arrest, which occurred after a seizure.
Anyone that knew Juice knew he was overall a wonderful person and such a kind soul. Today we’re sending prayers to all of his friends and family during this difficult time.
What’s eerie about the tragic situation is about a month ago TikTok users did the Lucid Dream Challenge where they’d have pretend seizures and it went viral. What a coincidence it is that he passed away from the same cause. Crazy right? No one is sure if it had to deal with the pills or the lean he rapped about taking, but just know that nothing good can come out of being on either one in your 20’s. Its such shame that we’ve lost another rising rockstar in the game. May his soul Rest In Peace.
