The R&B girl group reunion we’ve all been waiting for has arrived and the ladies will be gracing the stage together for the first time in over 15 years at the 2017 ESSENCE Festival –aka, the only place you can see this historic moment go down!

Remy Ma
From earning two Grammy nods, to sharing her love story with the world, Remy Ma has had quite the run over the past few years. This July, we’re elated that she’ll be making her ESSENCE Fest debut with what’s sure to be a lit performance from beginning to end.

Mary J. Blige Strength of a Woman Ladies Night
The queen of Hip Hop soul will have a the most star-studded line up of Black women in music all performing under one roof that you’ve ever seen! From icons like Chaka Khan, to favorites like Jill Scott, Monica and Jazmine Sullivan, this night is sure to go down in ESSENCE Fest history.

PJ Morton
PJ Morton performing music from his phenomenal new album “Gumbo” is already enough reason to make your way to his show, but he’ll also be celebrating the magic of true love live on stage. At some point during his performance, the proud NOLA native will announce the winners of his wedding contest, with one lucky couple winning the wedding day serenade of a lifetime from PJ himself. We can’t wait to see who wins!
