Black Sherif has been named as one of the acts set to perform at the Something in the Water music festival in 2023.
Kid Cudi, Summer Walker, Lil Wayne, Clipse, Wu-Tang Clan, Grace Jones and Chic, Mumford & Sons, and Maren Morris will perform at the event, which will take place in Virginia Beach, VA from April 28 to April 30.
Black Sherif, who was seen last week in Abu Dhabi performing to a rapt audience at the Wireless Festival, was announced as the only Ghanaian act on the bill on Wednesday.
Nigeria’s Ayra Starr, on the other hand, will join the Kwaku The Traveller singer as an African artist on the bill.
Pharrell Williams founded the Something in the Water Festival in 2019, but it was canceled in 2020 due to the pandemic.
The event will “not only unite and empower the community, but also celebrate diversity and showcase the magic of Virginia Beach,” according to a press release from the organizers. Musicians, students, artists, activists, and others will gather in Virginia Beach to “activate and amplify, collaborate and co-author, shift and shape the future.” The 2022 edition was held to commemorate Juneteenth in Washington, D.C.
