ONE MUSIC FEST 10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY | FT. USHER, PHARRELL, ARI LENNOX, DMX, WU-TANG CLAN AND MORE! Thursday 19 September, 2019
tens of thousands descended upon Atlanta’s Centennial Olympic Park for the 10th Annual ONE Musicfest. During the two-day festival, attendees enjoyed live performances on three stages and a vendors village filled with local businesses, cocktail brands, interactive social media stations, food trucks, breast-pumping and hydration stations and so much more.
“Our 10-year anniversary was nothing short of phenomenal!” said OMF Founder, Jason Carter. “This year surpassed our expectations. The new venue proved to be the right location for ONE Musicfest and we look forward to Centennial Olympic Park as our home for years to come. Additionally, the feedback from patrons and the OMF Family has been overwhelming. Honestly, that’s what it’s all about. It’s about putting on for the culture and creating a safe space for progressive urbanites and artists to thrive.”
ONE Musicfest offered a diverse lineup for fans of many musical genres. Saturday’s performances included Gucci Mane, Tory Lanez, Rae Sremmurd, Summer Walker, Koffee, Queen Naija, Tobe Nwigwe and Greg Street’s “ATL Playlist” which featured Atlanta’s own Roscoe Dash, Rocko, Travis Porter, K Camp and Rich Homie Quan.

This year also marked the first-ever “OMF HONORS,” where Atlanta music pioneers Jermaine Dupri and Dallas Austin were presented with commemorative plaques by Atlanta music manager-turned-Spotify executive, Chaka Zulu, on the main stage.
Sunday’s line up included R&B performances by Ari Lennox, Teyana Taylor, Musiq Soulchild and Raphael Saadiq. Hip Hop fans witnessed the performances of a lifetime with sets from DMX, Wu-Tang Clan and KP the Great and his “Super Friends:” Monica, Lil’ Jon and the Young Bloodz, Waka Flocka, Usher, Pharrell, Lil Nas X and Crime Mob.
From Usher to Three 6 Mafia to Ari Lennox to Raphael Saadiq, Wu-Tang and Tory Lanez, the energy throughout the day was infectious. “It’s Woodstock meets an HBCU Homecoming,” said a festival attendee.

That 10th anniversary must have been phenomenal indeed! The music concert featured huge names in the music industry and I’d probably find myself there because of Asher and Pharell- they have good music.
To tell you honestly, I have never been in any of music festival and that looks like a lot of fun to attend to. I am glad that now, I am having a chance to experience to be in the event that full of musics and that will happen by this year.
I bet this was an AWESOME concert. So many amazing artists under one roof. Thanks for sharing a snippet of this with us. (I love me some Raphael Saadiq!)
Wow, it certainly looks like you ended up getting a good spot right up front there. I like how you included a mixture of IG photos and photos that you took yourself here.
Okay, I’ve been in Atlanta for 13 year and I have always wanted to attend this festival, but I’m not a fan of such large crowds or the heat! I think I would’ve have pushed through for the Sunday lineup.
This is a festival I would have loved to be at. There was a great line-up of artists, the lot of them being my favorite. Thank you for sharing your experience.
