Jazmine Sullivan, Ella Mai to Perform at Atlanta Funk Fest 2023

Atlanta Funk Fest has unveiled the lineup for its two-day festival, which is set for Aug. 18 and Aug. 19.

Jazmine Sullivan, Ella Mai, Keith Sweat and Keke Wyatt are set to hit the stage at the Wolf Creek Amphitheater in Atlanta, Georgia.

There will be additional performances by rap acts Jeezy and Juvenile. According to Atlanta Funk Fest, more performers will be announced at a later date.

Sullivan has experience with the Funk Fest Tour, having performed at two Florida events last year — one in Orlando in June and another on New Year’s Eve in Miami. She performed songs from her Grammy-winning album, Heaux Tales, along with other hits and fan favorites from her discography.

Mai, nominated for Best International Act at the 2023 BET Awards, is joining the Funk Fest Tour festivities for the first time. She recently wrapped her headlining tour in support of her sophomore album, Heart On My Sleeve (Deluxe Edition). She also picked up a few new awards from the RIAA.

Sweat, who was recently part of New Edition’s Legacy Tour, has a vast music catalog spanning three decades for his setlist. His last album, Playing for Keeps, was released in 2018.

Following this, Sweat’s collaboration, “Can’t Nobody,” featuring Raheem DeVaughn, reached No. 5 on Billboard’s Adult R&B Airplay chart in October 2021.

Earlier this year, Wyatt signed to Shanachie Entertainment. As part of the deal, she is working on her sixth studio album, marking her first in six years.

“I want to give my fans the gift of love, hope and trust with my new music,” Wyatt said in a previous statement. “However, don’t get it twisted because I’m singing about it all. I think everyone will be able to relate to this album.”

Wyatt’s forthcoming album is the follow-up to 2017’s Keke Covers. The latter was a collection of her versions of both modern and classic songs, including Beyoncé’s “Love On Top” and Marvin Gaye’s “What’s Going On.”
