Pharrell Williams Moves His Festival To Washington DC
Pharrell Williams moved his Something in the Water Festival from his hometown, Virginia Beach, to Washington DC. The festival will take place on Juneteenth Weekend, from June 17-19. The event was initially scheduled to occur in Virginia Beach, but he moved it after Virginia Beach police killed his cousin, Donovan Lynch, in 2021. Pharrell issued a press release saying, “Something in the Water is a Black solution (LOVE) for a systemic issue, and this year we are taking our celebration to a higher platform – the nation’s capital during Juneteenth Weekend. We want to show the world that there is Something in the Water across the whole DMV, and I want to continue to bring awareness to the greatness within these communities and invite large corporations to show up for the people.” Tickets go on sale to the general public on April 30. Ashanti, Ja Rule, J.I.D, Lil Baby, Lil Uzi Vert, Moneybagg Yo, Pusha T, Run The Jewels, Saba, Teyana Taylor, Tierra Whack, T.I., and Tyler, The Creator will all perform at the festival. There will also be a “Pharrell and Phriends” set with people they cannot announce.
