Yeah! Usher is about to own Las Vegas.
Already announced as the Super Bowl 58 headliner, the eight-time Grammy winner will be returning to the Sin City in 2024 for an all-star music festival featuring several past Super Bowl halftime performers including Snoop Dogg, Janet Jackson and Nelly.
If Usher has it my way, the Lovers and Friends 2024 festival — scheduled for May 4 as the Las Vegas Festival Grounds — is absolutely going to light it up and let it burn with a ridiculous lineup that also has the Backstreet Boys, Lil Wayne, Alicia Keyes, Mary J. Blige, Ja Rule, Ludacris and Ciara.
If you’ve got it bad for an epic music experience, here’s everything you need to know about Lovers and Friends Festival 2024 including how to buy tickets, presale and secondary market options and the full lineup.
