Jack Harlow launches Gazebo Festival in Louisville. Here's who will headline, perform
Multiple Grammy Award-nominated rapper and Louisville native Jack Harlow has stepped up to fill the gap after Forecastle Festival vacated the city's scene in 2023.
Harlow has announced Gazebo Festival, an immersive two-day outdoor festival in his hometown celebrating the intersection of music and culture. The festival takes place Memorial Day weekend at Louisvlle's Waterfront Park.
The two-day lineup includes performances by SZA, James Blake (DJ Set), Omar Apollo, PinkPantheress, Vince Staples and more. In total, it will feature 26 acts on two stages and highlight some of Louisville’s local food and culture.
“Jack Harlow is an extraordinary Louisvillian who continues to give back to his hometown,” Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg said in a news release. “This is yet another way Jack is showing up for our city and I can’t wait to see the excitement this festival creates. I am so grateful for his commitment to making 'First Class' things happen for Louisville and our people."
Hailed as the “hitmaker of tomorrow” by Variety, Harlow will co-headline the Gazebo festival with multiple Grammy Award winner SZA, on Saturday, May 25 and Sunday, May 26. The line-up also includes Amaarae, Channel Tres, Majid Jordan, Slum Village, Veeze, Dahi and more.
