USHER PRESENTS MORE "LOVERS & FRIENDS"

Usher and Live Nation VP Jeffrey Shuman are bringing the Lovers & Friends Festival back to the Las Vegas Festival Grounds on 5/6. The lineup includes performances by more than 40 artists, among them Mariah Carey, Missy Elliott, 50 Cent, Nelly, Busta Rhymes, Lil Kim, Pitbull and, of course, Usher.

The inaugural Lovers & Friends Festival was scheduled to take place in 2020 but was canceled due to the pandemic. It was ultimately rescheduled for May 2022, then sold out in less than an hour, prompting promoters to extend the event to two days.

Demand for this year's edition will likely see a similar level of fervor. Presale tickets go on sale 1/20 at 10am PST here. Any remaining tickets will be available to the general public beginning at 2pm PST. Peep the full Lovers & Friends roster here.

Usher manager Ron Laffitte has said he's pretty sure he can get us a "minus one," whatever that means.
