This year, the festival will be held on Independence Avenue in the nation's capital on Juneteenth weekend. It will feature artists like Chloe x Halle, Ashe, Calvin Harris, Bia, Lil Uzi Vert, Pusha T, Teyana Taylor, Jon Batiste and Tyler, the Creator.
This will be the festival's first year in D.C. It was originally held in Virginia Beach, Virginia, William's hometown, but was moved after Williams' public falling out with the city's leadership.
In an October 2021 letter addressed to Virginia Beach City Manager Patrick Duhaney, Williams expressed disappointment over how the city handled the death of his cousin, Donovan Lynch, at the hands of police. Lynch was 25 years old when he was killed in an altercation with police in March 2021. CBS affiliate WTKR that while police said Lynch was"brandishing a handgun," his family maintains that the police officer who shot him was improperly trained, which lead to Lynch's death.
Darrion Marsh, 25, adjusts photos hanging from a memorial for his best friend Donovon Lynch, who was killed by Virginia Beach police during an evening of chaos in March on the citys oceanfront that left another person dead and eight wounded, Friday, May 7, 2021 in Virginia Beach, Virginia.
"I sang about a room with a roof, but I am tired of kindly and politely being shown the door," Williams wrote."Until the gate-keepers and the powers-that-be consider the citizens and the consumer base, and no longer view the idea of human rights for all as a controversial idea… I don't have any problems with the city, but I realize the city hasn't valued my proposed solutions, either.
Now, the festival will make its debut in another East Coast hub. Tickets go on sale Saturday, April 30, at 10 a.m. EST.
