A two-day music festival where culture meets timeless music and artistry, One Music Fest has set the bar for festivals in Atlanta for 15 years. Once again, it exceeded expectations with standout performances, bigger activations, and unique vendors. One highlight this year was the “Too Hot Not to Vote” activation, encouraging attendees to engage with the upcoming election season. Integrated into the festival’s high-energy atmosphere, this civic initiative was a refreshing reminder of the importance of voter participation.

Sunday’s lineup featured artists like Victoria Monét, Jill Scott., Keri Hilson, Gunna, Leon Thomas, Glorilla, Hunxho, and others, each delivering performances that had the crowd singing along to every verse. The music was only part of the experience, as attendees enjoyed brand activations from Mielle, Charmin, Always, Febreze, and Hennessy, featuring free samples, giveaways, and interactive experiences beyond the stage. These brand activations added to the festival experience, allowing attendees to take home everything from beauty samples, women’s care products to refreshments.

The festival has become a space where industry giants and artists come together to celebrate Black music and its evolution. Pastor Troy, who’s been part of One Music Fest’s journey for over 11 years, has witnessed its growth firsthand. “The event keeps getting bigger and bigger. Celebrating for 15 years, that is a big accomplishment,” said Troy. “I am looking forward to 15 more!”

It also serves as a stage for emerging talent to showcase their skills while allowing veteran artists to connect with audiences who appreciate the history and impact of their music. Artists who paved the way for new talent are often met with admiration and enthusiasm from fans, creating a unique environment that honors music’s past while highlighting its future.

For concert lovers and those passionate about Atlanta’s music scene and beyond, it’s an unmissable weekend combining live music with the comfort of local foods and drinks. Whether you’re there to see a headliner or discover a new favorite artist, One Music Fest offers something for everyone, a chance to enjoy your favorite artist with a drink in one hand and a plate of good food in the other.

As the festival concludes its 15th year, it remains a celebration of music, culture, and community. With its blend of legendary talent, interactive brand activations, and civic engagement efforts, One Music Fest has established itself as a benchmark for music festivals in Atlanta.
