The 25th Anniversary Essence Festival Brings The 90's Heat With Special Performances Of The Hottest Albums Celebrating 25 Years
New York, NY (Top40 Charts) The ESSENCE Festival presented by Coca-Cola, the world's largest cultural, entertainment and empowerment experience and largest celebration of global Black culture, is set to bring the 90's heat with special performances that celebrate the 25th anniversary of some of the top albums of the decade. The Festival also just announced the official night-by-night performance line up for its concert series taking place July 5th, 6th and 7th at the Louisiana Superdome in New Orleans.

With hits that remain timeless, the 90's era of R&B and hip-hop music significantly impacted our global culture - setting musical trends and a standard of excellence that made space for artists to thrive as creators, visionaries and entrepreneurs. By spotlighting some of the era's most forward-looking, game-changing albums that are also celebrating their 25th anniversaries, the celebration will reach beyond nostalgia to new school - with special performances to elevate the groundbreaking sounds that continue to influence the most popular, chart-topping artists of today.
"We are celebrating our 25th anniversary with an extraordinary, multigenerational, cultural celebration featuring nearly 100 Black artists who know that the ESSENCE Festival is 'home,'" said Michelle Ebanks, CEO of ESSENCE Communications. "Through an imaginative slate of 25th anniversary curations and a fresh take on our night-by-night line-up, this year's milestone Festival will creatively represent some of our culture's most important and influential bodies of work - past, present and future. We are excited to place the spotlight on the music that captivated and inspired our global communities - all reimagined exclusively for the 'only-at-ESSENCE' Festival stages."
