In anticipation of the 2019 Cincinnati Music Festival, Billboard wrote about the all-star lineup, which features Mary J. Blige and Maxwell, plus Kid Capri, Slick Rick, EPMD, and Earth, Wind & Fire, among others.
Billboard calls the festival a weekend-long summer rite of passage that takes over Paul Brown Stadium and has, in its 58 years, drawn tens of thousands of R&B fans from all over the Midwest and the South.
Last year’s show drew more than 83,000 fans. Tickets for the July 25–27 event are on sale now through the festival office (513-924-0900) and Ticketmaster.
