The 2022 Dreamville Festival attracted 80,000 attendees. According to the festival’s organizers, Dreamville 2022 “created more than $6.7 million dollar economic impact on the local Raleigh and Wake County community.”

Circling back to Usher, he recently teased his forthcoming single “GLU” with a snippet from the video starring Lori Harvey. The song is expected to appear on his highly anticipated ninth album. A release date has not been confirmed at this time. 

On May 6, Usher will perform at the 2023 Lovers & Friends Festival in Las Vegas, Nevada. The star-studded lineup, which he curated, includes Mariah Carey, Boyz II Men, Missy Elliott, Chris Brown, Bryson Tiller, Omarion, Summer Walker and many more.

Last Friday (Feb. 24), Usher resumed his Las Vegas residency at Dolby Live at Park MGM. The residency will conclude later this fall.
