H.E.R. Announces 2021 Lights On Festival With Erykah Badu, Ari Lennox & More

H.E.R. has revealed the dates and stacked line-up for the return of her curated Lights On Festival.

H.E.R. was one of the many artists who made huge appearances at the 21st BET Awards this past Sunday, and in addition to killing the red carpet with an eye-catching, transparent pair of pants, the rising R&B star also performed the Back of My Mind album intro “We Made It” and took home the award for “Best Female R&B/Pop Artist.” Apparently, the highly decorated singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist did it all while celebrating her birthday, and on Monday, H.E.R. kept the celebration going by announcing the second year of her curated music festival.
