Afropunk founder Matthew Morgan has enlisted Missy Elliott, Wizkid, Kali Uchis, Jhené Aiko, Jorja Smith, Flatbush Zombie and tons of other top acts to hit the stage during his upcoming festival, LetsGetFr.ee.

“Masterclass educational initiatives” will also be offered — providing patrons with the opportunity to immerse themselves in Black, Brown, Indigenous and Asian/Pacific Islander cultures in a “broad-minded, respectful, considerate, non-cliché, and non-exploitative way.”
LetsGetFr.ee’s overarching goal is to provide unrepresented communities equitable access to the entertainment industry “at all levels” over the next decade.
Self-described as “the world’s largest purpose-driven festival” that doubles as an “activist platform,” the festival’s website additionally highlighted that LetsGetFr.ee aims to promote “positive energy” and the idea “we are better when celebrating our differences together!”
Notably, the “Fr.ee” in the event’s name stands for “F*ck Racism. Elevate Equality,” according to Respect-Mag.
Tickets are currently $69 per day and go on sale later this week via Dice.
It sounds like LetsGetFr.ee is going to be three days of straight vibes — peep the full line up down below.
