We’re unhappy to report that, despite a golden opportunity for a very funny joke, last-minute tickets to the Lovers & Friends Festival in Las Vegas, NV, cost quite a bit more than 50 Cent(s).
However, you can still find reasonably priced tickets for Sin City’s biggest one-day hip-hop nostalgia festival, set for Saturday, May 6, featuring big name icons like 50 Cent (of course), recent Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Missy Elliott, Mariah Carey, Pitbull, Christina Aguilera and more.
Always wished you could spend the day in the presence of R&B and rap royalty?
If your answer is “Yeah!” as featured artist and fest curator Usher is fond of saying, we invite you to check out the Lovers and Friends bill, featuring some of the biggest hip-hop stars of the 90’s and 00’s.
Whether you like to keep it old school (we’d recommend catching Boyz II Men, Nelly or Ginuiwine’s sets), bop to the biggest rap hits of the 00’s and 10’s (Soulja Boy, Flo Rida, or Chris Brown, anyone?), or you’ll find plenty to like about Lovers and Friends fest.
Best of all: there’s no reason to get “So Anxious” that you haven’t purchased your tickets yet. The one-day fest begins (and ends), on May 6, but at the time of writing, single-day passes can still be found for as low as $338 before fees on Vivid Seats.
