Superstar acts Mary J. Blige, Jeezy, Anthony Hamilton and more will celebrate the New Year by performing their latest hits live in concert.

On Tuesday, November 8, Funk Fest confirmed that the beloved R&B singers and the SnoFall rapper will be among several artists performing at the event in Miami for the first time in five years. They'll be joined by the likes of Ms. Lauryn Hill, Jazmine Sullivan, Rick Ross, T.I., Dru Hill, Ying Yang Twins, Carl Thomas and Case. Other artists are expected to be announced before the show goes down on December 30 and 31st.

Funk Fest has brought out the best performers in Hip-Hop and R&B for over two decades in major cities across the country. Earlier this summer, Funk Fest went down in Orlando and featured a rare reunion of Master P's No Limit Records. During his performance, he took some time out to pay homage to his late daughter Tytyana Miller, who passed away from a fentanyl overdose.

"I love my daughter," Master P said. "Man I miss her. I always was her parachute but now she's my parachute up in the sky looking over me. We ain't gon' grieve no more. We gon' celebrate because now I'm going to be able to take care of million of kids and save millions of lives. I'm going to get out here and play my part. I know that God put me in this world for a passion and a purpose. Mental illness and substance abuse is a serious thing."

The last Funk Fest of 2022 is happening at the Miami Dade County Fair Expo Center on December 30 and 31st. Tickets are on sale now.
