Fresh from her fiery rendition of “Live Every Voice And Sing” at Macy’s annual Fourth of July Fireworks Show, it was announced that Jazmine Sullivan will make her headlining debut at AFROPUNK Brooklyn this August.
The vibrant celebration of Black culture across the diaspora returns to a new venue at Greenpoint Terminal Market under a new Circus Of Soul theme, which is described as “a carnivalesque exhibition that spotlights all aspects of Black creativity, soundtracked by music that speaks to the heart of the Black experience.”
The Heaux Tales sensation and Flying Lotus’ “cosmic live show” will headline the two-day experience on August 26-27 with additional performances by Joey Bada$$, Vince Staples, Toby Nwigwe, Baby Tate, Durand Bernarr, Madison McFerrin, and more.
The picturesque venue will house several trademark activations, including the Spinthrift Market and AFROPUNK’s Bites ‘n Beats.
