Janet Jackson will join Alicia Keys and Mary J. Blige as a co-headliner at the 2010 Essence Music Festival in New Orleans this summer.
The “Nasty” singer will make her festival debut as the third and final headliner at the annual festival — dubbed as a weekend-long celebration of music, culture, and community — this Fourth of July weekend (July 2, 3, and 4) in the Big Easy.
“This year’s Essence Music Festival line-up is headed up by three of the most talented and powerful women in music today,” Michelle Ebanks, president, Essence Communications Inc., said in a statement Tuesday. “With the return of both Mary J. Blige and Alicia Keys, and the first-ever performance from Janet Jackson, I can’t think of a better way to celebrate Essence’s 40th anniversary.”
In 1985, Essence became the first magazine to feature the future Grammy winner on the cover.
The full list of acts confirmed for this year’s Essence Music Festival are: Alicia Keys, Arrested Development, Big Sam’s Funky Nation, DJ Soul Sister, Estelle, Hot 8 Brass Band, Irma Thomas, Irvin Mayfield and NOJO, Ivan Neville’s Dumpstaphunk, Kermit Ruffins and the Barbecue Swingers, Lalah Hathaway, Leo Jackson and the Melody Clouds, Little Freddie King, LL Cool J, Mary J.
