The lineup for AFRAM 2026 in Baltimore just got a lot more lit. Helping to celebrate AFRAM’s 50th anniversary will be hometown heroes Dru Hill, who themselves are coming up on the 30th anniversary of their debut album later this year. The group has been added to the free, three-day festival, happening this Juneteenth weekend — Friday, June 19th through Sunday, June 21st — at Druid Hill Park.
It’s only right for Dru Hill to perform at AFRAM in the city where they were born and raised and in the place where they got their name. This is a big year for the legendary R&B boy band as they approach 30 years since the release of their debut album Dru Hill in November 1996. The platinum-certified set spawned the hit singles “Tell Me,” “In My Bed,” “Never Make A Promise” and “5 Steps.”
Original members Sisqo, Jazz and Nokio will be joined by newer additions Scola, Smoke and Black. Who knows, former original member Woody might even pop out with the fellas to help them celebrate these milestones if the spirit moves him.
Dru Hill is an exciting addition to this year’s AFRAM and rounds out an exceptional roster of talent that includes headliners Charlie Wilson, fellow Baltimore native Mario, SWV and The Lox. Additional performers throughout the weekend include Tamia, PJ Morton, Normani, Chlöe Bailey, J Brown, Lil Mo, Ultra Naté, Paula Campbell and Brandon Woody.
The daily performance schedule is locked in and has finally been released. Dru Hill will perform on the final day alongside PJ, Tamia and Uncle Charlie on the Mainstage sponsored by Amazon Music.
The 50th-anniversary edition of AFRAM will be an epic showcase of Black music, culture and community like no other. Make plans to be a part of the AFRAMily in Baltimore next weekend. As always, tickets are not needed for this free festival, but tap into AFRAM’s website, Instagram and Facebook for more information.
