One Musicfest 2018 comes to Atlanta from Sept. 8–9, with Cardi B, Miguel and Nas headlining along with Big Sean, Jeezy and T.I. Attendance at last year's OMF was more than 20,000 and the roster is richer now that the event has been extended to two days.

The supergroup August Greene is slated to perform. The trio unites Common, Robert Glasper and Karriem Riggins following the release of their self-titled album in March after forming during this year's GRAMMY Week festivities. The album's single "Optimistic" features GRAMMY winner Brandy, who is also on the OMF2018 bill.

The expanded OMF2018 roster continues with many of this summer's hottest talents. DVSN, Kelis, Rapsody, and Jessie Reyez will remind all in attendance and online why people love to watch them, and there will be George Clinton & Parliament to depend upon for funk. Other performers include Big Krit, Davido, Goldlink, St Beauty, and Teedra Moses as well as a special Atlanta crunk set.

Tickets are now on sale via the OMF website.
