“Since our inception in 2017, Live Nation Urban continues to create opportunities for emerging and established urban artists – both on the stage and behind the scenes,” said Heather Lowery, Live Nation Urban VP of Talent & Touring, “This past year has been an exceptional one for women in music and entertainment, and with the incredible contributions of women, it is fitting that we honor the future of music and its continued steps on the path to inclusion.”
Artists and others taking part in the Femme It Forward series include Cardi B, City Girls, Teyana Taylor, Nicole Bus, Rico Nasty, Jorja Smith, Kali Uchis, Ari Lennox, Ama Lou, Dounia, Brianna Cash, Mahalia, Jill Scott, Faith Evans, Tweet, Monica, Brandy, Ashanti, Keri Hilson, Amerie, Lil Mo, Mya, and more to be announced. Kali Uchis and Jorja Smith kick off a co-headline tour at the end of the month.
Live Nation Urban continues to present varied content, led by Live Nation Urban President and Maverick partner Shawn Gee, who manages The Roots. The company produces the Roots Picnic festival in Philadelphia along with Broccoli City, and has recently announced tours or concert series including multi-city Rap Caviar events in partnership with Spotify, and gospel singer Kirk Franklin’s second annual Exodus Festival in Texas.
