Some big acts are headlining at the 25th annual Essence Music Festival in New Orleans, the annual showcase of African-American musical talent that brings some very big names to a city that isn't easily impressed by superstar musicians... but any one of Missy Elliott, Mary J. Blige, NAS, Big Freedia, Pharrell Williams, Timbaland, H.E.R., or many other acts would be sure to sell tickets. Not to mention, a recently announced and highly anticipated appearance by "Forever First Lady" Michelle Obama in conversation with Loni Love on Saturday.
In additional to offering superb celebrity and music, the festival provides inspirational and business-related seminars as well as arts markets to showcase the work of African-American writers, craftsmen and women, and visual artists. essence.com/festival.
