Essence Festival of Culture Tickets

Essence Music Festival

Loved it!! Everything about the festival from the Convention Center events to the concert was everything!!

Essence Festival amazing Star line up

The Essence Festival 2018 had an amazing line up of stars. They deserved to perform with a better sound system. The fans would have enjoyed the show so much better if we did not have all the feedback from the microphones. The sound was not clear at all. So sad because the show was so professionally executed except for the sound.

Essence Festival was EVERYTHING!!!!

Essence Festival 2018 was absolutely amazing. The artist and live instruments were impeccable! This festival is a must. I will be back in 2019!!!

I enjoyed myself, BUT...

Of course, the performers gave a good show as expected; however, as an avid Essence festival attendee for the past 15 plus years, the experience at the Convention Center is becoming less enjoyable and more chaotic with less to do. Also, the ticket prices are ridiculous! Again, I've been attending Essence for over 15 years and find the pricing for tickets have been inflated by at least 40%. So, in a nutshell- it's always great to see so many people come together and have a great time in our city, but please stop making folks go thru the unnecessary ordeal to do so.

Waste of money

Thought the show was going to be better than it was. SWV, Blackstreet, and Fantasia were awesome. Janet was average and should have done more of her older songs. Fantasia definitely should have headlined. She was amazing! Some people were sleeping, so what does that tell you.

All 3 nights we’re amazing!!!

I will wait to see all of my favorites at essence from now on. The concerts were everything!!

Amazing

Sunday’s concert was FIRE!! Performers were great.!

Janet Jackson was Amazing!!

This was my first Essence Festival and it was Awesome. I'll be back next year!!! Thank you Essence Festival and all performers for making my first experience an UNFORGETTABLE experience.

Essence is a must do!

The show was excellent and well worth the cost! Any seat in the venue is well worth it because there are lounges within the super dome with smaller concerts and great artists to see also. Loved it! Loved it! Loved it!

I went Sunday night. The sound was awful. Even one of the artist mentioned that the sound person needed to get it together...he didn't. Difficult to hear the singers. Concerts have been good in the past years.
