Essence Festival of Culture Tickets

First Time Essence Experience

Essence was overall a great 1st time Experience for myself and my 3 other girlfriends that met in NOLA for 4 days. Every aspect was overwhelming to say the least :) It was amazing!! It was so much to do, see and experience that we did not get a chance to experience a majority yet what we did was amazing! Logistically, the committee/Project Team need to re-evaluatie the crowds along with working with the City to close off specific streets to allow Taxi/Uber/Lyft drivers to pickup/drop off Festival goers, We will be back 2019!!!!

Sound quality was horrible!

The lineup for the 2018 Essence fest was awesome. All the performers did their thing! Unfortunately the sound department just couldn’t get it right. Barely could hear the artists at times and the feedback was excessive. What happened to sound checks??

Good Event But...

All artist should be on the mainstage, for All the money spent on tickets. We shouldn't have to travel thru the maze of people to try and see them. Ohhh and get another DJ (DJ nice) he sucked; he didn't keep the audience entertained between performances.

Essence Festival 2018

Great show! I had great time. Good assortment artist. Surprise artists, loved it.

Janet was so awesome!

I was so amazed at Janet’s performance! Teddy Raileys performance group of performances with artist that he wrote music for was so incredible!! The Hip Hop and Rap Artist’s from the 80’s and 90’s was so awesome, it really took me back to what great Artists I had the pleasure of growing up with! It was so moving to be in the same venue where they all came back in one invent to share their talent again with us!!! I just Love coming to The Essence Music Festival where I can get a chance to see and hear all of my favorite Artist share their talent with all of us again!!! God has Blessed them with more time to share with us their talent, and it really shows!! I could really feel the LOVE from all of the Artists with sharing their time and talent with us their fans and supporters!!

Essence has lost its essence

I was not prepared for a gospel concert. I never would have wasted money on floor seats or seats period, had I known there would be gospel singers. Nobody in there right mind wants to drink liquor and sing praises to God. Snoop went from rapping “drop it like it’s hot” to Fred Hammond’s “No weapon”. I was not prepared.

Janet,Erica and Jill was great!!!

The sound system was poor. I heard better in the Superdome..I'm from Nashville where sound matters

GirlsTrip’18

The daytime events were fun. And the evening artist lineup was insanely good! The Superdome was clean and made tasty drinks/food. Their staff were horribly rude on Friday; but were much more professional on Saturday.

Essence Music Festival

I loved it! Great show! The number of artist performances was great. Me and my friends had a fantastic time.

Incredible

Everything was incredible as usual. I guess my only negative was the stairs are to steep, but that's on me from the tickets I purchased. I am a chicken. Lol
