R&B-loaded ‘Funk Fest’ bringing one of three tour dates to Orlando

It’s been 25 years since the first Funk Fest tour—an annual gathering of the hottest names in R&B—kicked off, and one of its three summer 2024 dates is taking place at Orlando’s Central Florida Fairgrounds.

Tickets to see Florida Funk Fest, featuring Erykah Badu, Charlie Wilson, Jeezy, and more at Orlando’s Central Florida Fairgrounds on Friday and Saturday, June 14 and 15 are still available and start at $50. A two-day pass is also available, which starts at $100.

R&B has come a long way since the first-ever edition of Funkfest in 1994, which has since featured the likes of Outkast, Rick Ross, and Baby Face on the bill. “The stage promises unforgettable performances that capture the essence of Black Music Month, celebrating its constant evolution,” a press release reads. This year's other two dates—in Louisville and Atlanta, respectively—will also feature a diverse array of acts, such as The Isley Brothers, Floetry’s Marsha Ambrosius, and Big Boi.
