Strength of a Woman Festival & Summit: Mary J. Blige, Chaka Khan, City Girls

CL Critic Joshua Robinson Recommends: Although her Super Bowl LVI Halftime Show performance was everything that R&B fans could have ever imagined, Mary J. Blige and Pepsi’s relationship is set set continue this month in Atlanta with the iconic singer’s inaugural Strength of a Woman Festival & Summit. The three-day event will consist of a comedy night, a gospel brunch, workshops, panels, live shows, and more. Given its newfound soldout status, it’s safe to say that the State Farm Arena show on Saturday night is the main attraction. In addition to a headlining performance from Mary. J. Blige, there will be live sets from Chaka Khan, Xscape, City Girls, Baby Tate, Omerettà The Great, and more incredible female artists. With a lineup like that, you can’t help but justify some slightly inflated ticket resale prices. — JR
