One Music Fest 2015 | Recap Friday 18 September, 2015
Over the past weekend, thousands of people flocked to Atlanta to witness the 6th annual ONEMusicfest that took place at Aaron’s Amphitheater in Lakewood on September 12, 2015. Gracing the stage were the talented Ms.Lauryn Hill, The Roots, A$AP Rocky, Wale, Janelle Monae & Wondaland, Raekwon, Ghostface, The Internet, Raury, SZA, Scarface, 8Ball & MJG, Big KRIT and Bun B.
OneMusicfest was the only place to see this roster of incredible acts join together for One purpose – which was to witness a wide variety of sounds, from rock to hip-hop, electro, reggae, funk, disco, house, alternative and soul while having your musical senses stimulated. ONEMusicfest‘s main focus was to create a roster of performers that would be enjoyable for multiple generations.
In honor of ONE Musicfest’s impressive economical impact on Atlanta, Atlanta’s Councilman member Andre Dickens, presented an official documentation proclaiming September 12th as “ONE Musicfest Day”.
“There is a lack of representation for soul, progressive hip-hop, alternative and rock, represented under one roof, in the format of music festivals in Atlanta”, states J Carter, ONEMusicfest Producer. “We have noticed that while there are many pockets of individuals that share taste in the samemusic, rarely do you see them share in this together. ONEMusicfest was created with the idea of ‘music as the universal language’. Over time we aim to grow this fest into a phenomenon and bring together different sectors of individuals through a unique music platform.”
This is a festival that brought the older school generation to the newer school generation together and everyone in between. You pick and choose which artist resignates with your heart, while discovering new artist on the way. The eclectic feel and free spirit of the vibed out event is amazing. So many people, good energy, great music, all in what you hope for in a great music festival. The vibe could bring back memories of the past or can stir up your present. I love One MusicFest, and happy to have attended for a second year!

I haven’t been to a music festival in a really long time! And even though I don’t know all of these artists, this looks like something that would’ve been really fun to attend!
