The Lovers & Friends Festival was started in 2022

The festival gets its name from the 2004 song Lovers and Friends by the hip-hop group Lil Jon & the East Side Boyz. The track features Usher and fellow rapper Ludacris, who, along with Lil Jon, also headlined the inaugural edition of the festival in 2022.

Usher originally planned the debut edition of the festival in 2020 along with his partner Jeffrey Shuman, the VP of Live Nation. However, the event had to be pushed back due to the pandemic. In an interview with VIBE in 2022, the singer stated that the concept came from the idea that people enjoyed these kinds of festivals and ‘90s music.

With some music fans underwhelmed by this year's Coachella lineup, the Lovers & Friends 2024 Festival seems to be a better alternative. The event promises to be a nostalgia trip back to the 1990s, with an extensive list of top acts from that era set to perform.
