CINCINNATI — Cincinnati Music Festival is here and, as expected, it's bringing some significant talent to the stage.

The festival will take place Thursday through Saturday, featuring three days of hip-hop, R&B and more.

Thursday will feature a celebration of hip hop, featuring MC Lyte, EPMD, KRS-One and Black Sheep.

The Friday lineup will feature Maxwell as the headlining artist, but he won't be the only big name to take the stage that night; Ne-Yo, Fantasia, October London and Lakeside will also all perform on Friday.

The Saturday lineup gets even bigger with headliner New Edition featuring Bobby Brown, Bell Biv DeVoe, Ralph Tresvant, Johnny Gill, KEM, SWV and Stokley.

Coco Jones will also join those performing on Saturday night.

Attendees will want to keep an eye on the location depending on which days they plan on attending: Friday and Saturday nights will be held at Paycor Stadium, while Thursday's Celebration of Hip Hop will be held at the Andrew J. Brady Center.

Tickets are still available on the festival's website; fans can call 513.924.0900 or buy them online on Ticketmaster.

"We are thrilled with this year’s lineup for the Cincinnati Music Festival presented by P&G," said Joe Santangelo, the festival's producer, in a press release. "This year’s lineup is the most jam-packed R&B lineup we’ve ever had, representing fan favorites across the decades from New Edition to Maxwell to Fantasia, and so many more."
