Andre 3000 will be performing his album ‘New Blue Sun’ at Atlanta Jazz Fest

Soul jazz supergroup Something Else!, Grammy-winning sax and clarinetist Paquito D’Rivera and Georgia’s own Lizz Wright will headline this year’s festival. Executive director for the Mayor’s Office of Cultural Affairs, Camille Russell Love, said that each day of the festival will carry a different theme.

“We invite you to experience an eclectic mix of jazz by national artists on Saturday, explore the global sounds of some of the world’s best international artists on Sunday, and discover the latest music from notable Atlanta musicians on Monday,” Love said in a statement.

Leading up to the festival, Dickens said the city plans on hosting 31 days of jazz-related events throughout metro Atlanta. That programming kicked off May 1, and includes a concert celebrating the 50th anniversary of WCLK 921.9 with Lil John Roberts on May 24 at Atlanta Symphony Hall. There will also be a late-night jazz concert featuring composer Lauren Henderson the following night at Park Tavern. Tickets for those two events will be available at atljazzfest.com.
