Once again, “Lights On Festival” delivers the ultimate R&B experience in the Bay Area with full cultural and musical immersion unlike anything else all year.
I’m so excited ‘Lights On Fest’ will be making its return. It’s my favorite way to wind down the summer by having two days filled with great R&B music. I am so proud to reveal the extraordinary talent we have on the bill this year and can’t wait for everyone to see what’s to come!
H.E.R.
Following its introduction in 2019, H.E.R.’s “Lights On Festival” made history as the first female-owned and curated festival in decades. A Bay Area native herself, H.E.R. aims to celebrate a genre-rich roster of artists from her hometown and beyond. More than just music, it boasted other attractions such as a film screening tent, live art installations, R&B Museum, Guitar Lounge and a massive arcade.
In 2021, the festival brought in 13K fans each day to the Concord Pavilion and incited glowing critical applause from several publications including KQED (NPR) that said, “the event brought an unmistakably joyful mood” and the San Francisco Chronicle that raved, “H.E.R.’s Lights On Festival shows that R&B…can’t be stopped.” Perhaps Vibe said it best, “nothing could compare to the all-encompassing, magnetic aura felt as I walked through the festival grounds.”
