Los Angeles Soul Music Festival Heats Up Summer 2017 at L.A. Exposition Park
July 14-16, 2017, the Los Angeles Soul Music Festival will kick-off its sophomore season on the cultural, south lawn grounds of L.A. Exposition Park (located at 700 Exposition Park Dr, Los Angeles, CA 90037). From 5 pm to 11 pm, 25-thousand R&B and soul music fans will assemble from all over Southern California for three, sultry nights under the summer skies to watch their favorite Grammy, Soul Train, NAACP Image, BET, Centric, MTV Europe, Billboard, American and World Music nominees and award-winning performers live on stage. Merging the worlds of classic soul with modern-day acts, the Los Angeles Soul Music Festival represents a gathering of music enthusiasts who appreciate the many facets of live music. This event celebrates the voice of all things "soul," both nationally and internationally.
Owned and operated by Airborne Tickets LLC, a California Corporation, the Los Angeles Soul Music Festival's management team is comprised of members with over 60 years of combined experience in event management and production. By merging art and technology, they specialize in the creation and enhancement of memorable live music events for consumer based R&B and soul music experiences. "Last year was our successful entrance into the Los Angeles market. The Airborne team is appreciative of its generous response and looks forward to an even more prolific festival experience ahead. Now in the heart and soul of Los Angeles at L.A. Exposition Park, we can accommodate more soul music lovers from the local community and throughout SoCal," said Director Mark Douglas.

Toni! Tone!, Musiq Soulchild and Blackstreet featuring Teddy Riley and Dave Hollister for Sunday. The 2017 Los Angeles Soul Music Festival hype man will be ACPA "Comedian of the Year" Ron G with KJLH/ LA Dodgers resident DJ Malski live on the decks.
