In honor of Essence Music Festival’s 25-year anniversary, ’90s artists like Missy Elliott, Pharrell, and Mary J. Blige will take the stage.

The festival is set to run from July 5 to 7 at New Orleans’ Mercedes-Benz Stadium. During the three-day event, over 80 artists will perform, along with nightly DJ sets. Loni Love will host the show. CEO of Essence Communications, Michelle Ebanks, said the organization is celebrating their 25th anniversary with an “extraordinary, multigenerational, cultural celebration” with nearly 100 black artists who call the festival “home.”

“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,” Ebanks said in a statement. “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.”
