The 2015 Funk Fest stopped in Atlanta, GA this past weekend. It included two days of great music from artists such as: R.Kelly, Erykah Badu, 2 Live Crrew, Total, 8 Ball & MJG, Floetry, Rakim, and Doug E.Fresh. Held at Wolf Creek Amphitheater, the crowd danced the night away.
Funk Fest community partner, Lifting As We Climb and Pepsi have pledged to award up to $50,000 in scholarships to students in tour markets and will also provide 40 students with career immersion experiences in Public Relations, Marketing, Operations and Production during the tour. Additional community investments will occur in Birmingham, Ala. through a partnership with the City of Birmingham’s Department of Recreation and in Columbia, S.C. in partnership with Benedict College.
Artists will vary per city, please visit www.funkfestconcerts.com for lineup in each city.
