Ms. Lauryn Hill, Usher, TLC & Ciara To Headline 2022's Lovers & Friends Fest


Before the global pandemic shut down the live music industry in 2020, a new music festival was announced – the Lovers & Friends Fest – that was a dream come true for R&B and hip-hop fans with a massive lineup of beloved artists from the '90s and early aughts. Unfortunately, the sold-out, inaugural festival scheduled for May 2020 in Los Angeles had to be canceled due to the Rona. Although the panny is nowhere near over, the festival's organizers are cautiously optimistic and have decided to reschedule the first Lovers & Friends Fest to May 14, 2022 and move it to Las Vegas with an even longer list of talent.
