FREDDIE GIBBS, THE ROOTS, ISAIAH RASHAD & MORE TO PERFORM AT BROOKLYN’S AFROPUNK FESTIVAL

Brooklyn’s Afropunk Festival will return for its first in-person festival in the borough since 2019, and the lineup is stacked with rap talent.

The festival will kick off September 10 and 11 at Commodore Barry Park and performers will include Freddie Gibbs, Isaiah Rashad, Tierra Whack, Mick Jenkins, BbyMutha, Earl Sweatshirt, Pink Siifu, The Roots and others.

Tickets go on sale Friday, June 17 at 10 am ET. Burna Boy is set to headline as well, which the festival noted in a statement is a historic occasion because it will be the Nigerian singer’s “first-ever headlining festival performance at a U.S. music festival.”
