Broccoli City Festival is continuing to make moves – literally. After moving the festival date from spring to summer in 2023, the annual event is now moving to a new location. Broccoli City Festival 2024 is remaining in Washington, D.C. and setting up shop at Audi Field in July. Scheduled for the weekend of Saturday, July 27th and Sunday, July 28th, the weather will be hot, but the lineup for this year’s festival is even hotter.
Head hottie in charge Megan Thee Stallion is one of the headliners, and her appearance at BC Fest will also be the final date of her Hot Girl Summer Tour. The GRAMMY Award-winning talent leads a roster of rappers that’ll rock the mic including Lil Yachty and The Concrete Family, Gunna, Key Glock, Sexyy Red, Teezo Touchdown, Veeze, Skilla Baby and Baby Tate.
If R&B and other sounds are more your thing, BC Fest most definitely has you covered. Festivalgoers can look forward to seeing and hearing Kaytranada, Victoria Monét, PARTYNEXTDOOR, Fridayy, Amaarae, Jordan Ward, Ryan Trey and chlothegod.
Music lovers will not only get their fill of live performances but there will be numerous musical experiences on deck with some famous folks attached. Issa Rae is on board as well as Desi Banks and Funny Marco, who are slated as hosts. Bryson Tiller is bringing Trapsoul Karaoke, Joe Kay is bringing Soulection, DJ Uncle Waffles is bringing Coco Butter and Duke Dennis is presenting Test Your Knowledge. There’ll also be pop-ups by Everyday People and R&B Only.
Black country artists are having a moment right now, and one of them is Tanner Adell who will be on-site to represent the genre and have a little fun at the Hoe Down experience. The festival will also feature a stage for local artists, art installations, sponsor activations, the Black + Forth Black-owned business marketplace and the Door Dash food village with a variety of options.
“We’re reimagining the festival experience by moving to the state-of-the-art Audi Field in the Navy Yard community, featuring award-show-like live programming and interactive fan experiences,” said Marcus Allen, one of Broccoli City’s founders. “We’re setting a new standard, providing attendees an immersive blend of entertainment, technology and fan engagement.”
Broccoli City Festival 2024 appears to have leveled up quite nicely. We’re sure that you’re going to want to get on their level and attend this July if you’re in or near the DMV area. Weekend passes at various levels are on sale now. For more information and to secure your tickets, visit the BC Fest website.
