The Cincinnati Music Festival has new headliners.
LL Cool J and Toni Braxton have been added to the Saturday schedule to replace Janet Jackson, who pulled out of the festival for personal matters last month.
"While Janet Jackson is a true music icon and absolutely irreplaceable, we’re thrilled to welcome LL Cool J and Toni Braxton to Saturday night’s stage at the Cincinnati Music Festival," the festival's producer, Joe Santangelo, said in a release. “This year’s lineup is pure fire — from the timeless grooves of Earth, Wind & Fire to a heartfelt tribute to the legendary Frankie Beverly. Even though we got thrown a curveball, I think this is the most jam packed lineup we've ever presented to our fans. We're so proud of where we landed.”
The Festival will be at Paycor Stadium from July 24-26. The three-day event will feature performances at the Andrew J. Brady Center and Paycor Stadium.
