By Jamie RolloApr. 17 2019, Updated 7:43 p.m. ET
Live Nation Urban announced Femme It Forward, a multi-format concert series featuring all female artists and professionals. The series will have panel discussions with women working in the industry, comedy shows, and live performances across the U.S from April to October.
Femme It Forward live performances include Cardi B, City Girls, Teyana Taylor, Nicole Bus, Rico Nasty, Jorja Smith, Kali Uchis, Ari Lennox, Ama Lou, Dounia, Brianna Cash, Mahalia, Jill Scott, Faith Evans, Tweet, Monica, Brandy, Ashanti, Keri Hilson, Amerie, Lil Mo, Mya, and more (soon to be announced). All of the Femme It Forward shows will give proceeds to a philanthropic organization that supports women.
Live Nation Urban is in partnership with Live Nation Entertainment, the leading live entertainment company. Live Nation Urban, however, focuses solely on promoting Hip-Hop, R&B, and Gospel music, and has become one of the primary sources for live urban shows.
“Since our inception in 2017, Live Nation Urban continues to create opportunities for emerging and established urban artists – both on the stage and behind the scenes,” said Heather Lowery, Live Nation Urban VP of Talent and Touring, “This past year has been an exceptional one for women in music and entertainment, and with the incredible contributions of women, it is fitting that we honor the future of music and its continued steps on the path to inclusion.”
