Soulfest is adding some hip-hop royalty to its line-up, with former Fugees star Lauryn Hill and reformed duo Blackstar added to the bill.
R&B star Miguel and Jazmine Sullivan also join the line-up today, which already includes Mary J Blige, Jill Scott, Charlie Wilson, Jhenè Aiko and De La Soul.
Dwele, Eric Benet, BJ The Chicago Kid, Floetry and Kamasi Washington round out the line-up. Local performers are yet to be confirmed.
The festival is held at Western Springs Stadium on Monday, October 26.
Last year's Soulfest saw up to 10,000 people enjoy Common, Mos Def, Maxwell and D-Angelo perform at the Australasian festival's debut.
Tickets are available from May 27 at 10am through Ticketmaster, with a pre-sale beginning on May 18. VIP passes are also available.
