Jack Harlow joins the music festival business by announcing his inaugural Gazebo Festival in his hometown of Louisville, Kentucky, this May.
A two-day festival is scheduled for May 25-26 at Louisville Waterfront Park. The lineup includes Harlow, SZA, Vince Staples, Slum Village, James Blake, Rich Homie Quan, and more. The Jack Harlow Foundation will donate some tickets to local organizations.
Launching their own festivals has become a new trend in Hip-Hop, which benefits the economy of their hometowns.
“Jack Harlow is an extraordinary Louisvillian who continues to give back to his hometown,” said Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg in a press release. “This is yet another way Jack is showing up for our city and I can’t wait to see the excitement this festival creates. I am so grateful for his commitment to making first class things happen for Louisville and our people.”
Cleo Battle, CEO and president of Louisville Tourism, added: “We are beyond excited to support our city’s hometown hero, Jack Harlow, as he launches a new music festival at Louisville’s Waterfront Park. In addition to great music, festival goers will get a taste of this city’s iconic attractions, renowned heritage and global culinary scene.”
Harlow’s latest single “Lovin on Me” tops the charts for six weeks as the festival news arrives. Before “Lovin On Me,” Harlow’s surprise album, Jackman, released in April 2023, received great reviews. It features past singles like “Gang Gang Gang,” “Denver,” and “They Don’t Love It.”
Jack Harlow’s Gazebo Festival presales start on March 6 at 10 a.m. ET, with general public sales beginning on March 8 at 10 a.m. ET.
