If there is any festival out there right now that knows how to win over the hearts of R&B/hip hop fans from the ’90s and early ’00s, it’s Lovers & Friends. The lineup tends to feature some of the most nostalgic veterans from these genres, and it has just finally announced its 2023 lineup.

Returning to Las Vegas, Nevada this Spring, the festival has tapped Usher, Mariah Carey and Missy Elliott to headline the one-day event. However, the throwback energy doesn’t stop there because the undercard is replete with other old-school chart-toppers such as Christina Aguilera, 50 Cent, Nelly, Chris Brown, Busta Rhymes, Bow Wow, Boyz II Men and more. Artists from the modern generation of R&B are also expected to touch the Lovers & Friends stage such as Jhene Aiko, Summer Walker, Bryson Tiller and PARTYNEXTDOOR.

All of the action is slated to go down on May 6, 2023 at the Las Vegas Festival Grounds, and you can peep the full lineup here below. GA, GA+, VIP and VIP Cabana presale tickets for L&F will be available starting Friday, January 20 at 10am PDT here. At 2pm PDT on the same day, general public tickets will be available, with layaway payment plans starting at $19.99 USD down.
