This spring is going to be phat.
We apologize for the outdated early ’00s slang but when a festival lineup is as full of huge throwback stars as Lovers and Friends is, it feels appropriate.
On Saturday, May 4, the annual nostalgia extravaganza returns to the Las Vegas Festival Grounds for a day featuring some of the biggest names in early-aughts pop, R&B, Hip-Hop and more.
Just a few of those mega headliners include Janet Jackson, Usher, Backstreet Boys, Lil Wayne and Snoop Dogg.
They’ll be joined by Gwen Stefani, Alicia Keys, Nas, Mary J. Blige and Ludacris.
Nelly Furtado, Akon, T-Pain, Ja Rule and M.I.A. will be there, too.
And yes, Nelly of “Hot In Hurr” fame will be performing as well.
In total, over 80 (!) acts are taking the stage on the jam-packed Sin City Saturday.
For those that need their tickets now, you’re in luck.
Although inventory isn’t available on Ticketmaster until Friday, Jan. 26, fans who want to ensure they have tickets ahead of time can purchase on sites like Vivid Seats before tickets are officially on sale.
Vivid Seats is a secondary market ticketing platform, and prices may be higher or lower than face value, depending on demand.
They have a 100% buyer guarantee that states your transaction will be safe and secure and will be delivered before the event.

Lovers and Friends 2024 lineup
This year’s poster has so many stars listed, it’s overwhelming.
Any festival that lists Lupe Fiasco, Kelly Rowland, Keyshia Cole, 98 Degrees and Rick Ross in small font near the bottom is clearly going to be a banger.
For a closer look at all the big names on the bill, you can find the Lovers and Friends poster here:
