Following a hugely successful inaugural event last year, neo-soul, jazz and hip-hop festival Soulfest will return to Western Springs this October on Labour day.
Organisers have secured an impressive lineup, with Queen of hip-hop Mary J. Blige, Jill Scott and De La Soul all included in the first lineup announcement.
The event will feature over 20 acts performing across two stages, with Jhenè Aiko, Charlie Wilson, Talib Kweli and Dwele also announced.
Last year's event was headlined by Maxwell, D'Angelo, Common and Mos Def.
