When it comes to festivals that honor the full spectrum of Black sound and soul, One Music Fest stands in a league of its own. This year’s edition once again turned Atlanta into a cultural epicenter — a melting pot of genres, generations, and unapologetic Black joy.
With headliners like Future, Kehlani, Doechii, The Roots w/ Mary J. Blige and Ludacris, the 2025 lineup was met with artists who not only dominate charts but shape conversations in music and fashion. Each performance felt like a moment that blended nostalgia with what’s next.
If you’ve ever been to OMF, you know it’s more than just a festival, it’s a family reunion for the culture. The crowd came ready to have a good time, while DJs and hosts kept the vibe alive between sets. Whether you were front-row for Kehlani’s mesmerizing set or catching a vibe at Issa Rae’s Viarae popup when Jazmine Sullivan hit that note, the entire weekend helped fans live their best life.
From Future’s “March Madness” to Kehlani’s viral set, Jazmine Sullivan’s vocals, and Ludacris nostalgic hits, every artist brought their A-game. The Dungeon Family tribute was also a standout moment, a love letter to Atlanta’s musical legacy and its role in shaping hip-hop culture worldwide.
One Music Fest isn’t just about performances, it’s about presence. Vendors, art activations, and local food pop-ups turned the festival grounds into a celebration of creativity and community. From the marketplace of Black-owned brands to the chill zones filled with spontaneous dance circles, every corner represented a different slice of ATL culture.
One Music Fest 2025 reminded us that music is our language, one that transcends time, genre, and trend. Year after year, it gives artists and fans alike a space to show up, show out, and celebrate being seen.
