Lovers & Friends 2023 Has Mariah Carey, Missy Elliott, & So Much Throwback Hip-Hop & R&B

Among the big-front headliners at this thing: Missy Elliott, Mariah Carey, Usher himself, Pitbull, Christina Aguilera, Chris Brown, 50 Cent, Miguel, Summer Walker, Jhené Aiko, PARTYNEXTDOOR, and Bryson Tiller.
