Beyoncé to Headline Essence Music Festival
Mon, 18 Feb 2013 10:04:15
Beyoncé will return to New Orleans five months after her Super Bowl halftime show!
She will be bringing the heat and headlining one night of the 19th annual 2013 Essence Festival, held July 4 through July 7 in New Orleans.
Michelle Ebanks, President of Essence Communications, stated, "We are incredibly excited to welcome Beyonce back to the 2013 Essence Festival line-up. She is truly the ultimate Essence woman. The Essence Festival features the best in music, culture, arts and entertainment – all of which Beyonce captures through her extraordinary gifts."
Anyone going to see Bey in NOLA? Or on her "Mrs. Carter" world tour this summer?
