H.E.R. is rounding up all of her supremely talented companions for the third iteration of her Lights On Festival. After the festival’s 2022 hiatus (similar to the pandemic-induced hiatus in 2020 after 2019’s first Lights On Festival), H.E.R. is bringing the vibes – as well as a stacked list of R&B and rap artists – to her home state of California on September 16 and 17.

The songstress took to her Instagram, on her birthday nonetheless, to share the hefty lineup. While H.E.R. and, well, her friends, will headline the first night of the festival, Jazmine Sullivan will take center stage for the second night. Other performers include Don Toliver, PARTYNEXTDOOR, Syd, Smino, Toosii, Alina Baraz, Doechii, FLO, DVSN and Kiana Ledé. Check out the full lineup in the Instagram post below.

This is the festival’s first time at the Shoreline Amphitheatre, as both the 2019 and 2021 festivals took place at Concord, California’s Concord Pavilion. Notable past performers include Jhené Aiko and Daniel Caesar, along with Erykah Badu and Ari Lennox.

Presale for the festival begins this Thursday, June 29 at 12:00 p.m. PST until 10:00 P.M PST. Fans can sign up for presale tickets on the festival’s website. General sale will open Friday, June 30 at 12:00 p.m PST.

Elsewhere in music, Jay Rock tapped labelmate Kal Banx for his first lead single since 2018.
