(ATLANTA) – September 13, 2019 – Last weekend, tens of thousands descended upon Atlanta’s Centennial Olympic Park for the 10th Annual ONE Musicfest. During the two-day festival, attendees enjoyed live performances on three stages and a vendors village filled with local businesses, cocktail brands, interactive social media stations, food trucks, breast-pumping and hydration stations and so much more. 
“Our 10-year anniversary was nothing short of phenomenal!” said OMF Founder, Jason Carter. “This year surpassed our expectations. The new venue proved to be the right location for ONE Musicfest and we look forward to Centennial Olympic Park as our home for years to come. Additionally, the feedback from patrons and the OMF Family has been overwhelming. Honestly, that’s what it’s all about. It’s about putting on for the culture and creating a safe space for progressive urbanites and artists to thrive.” 
 ONE Musicfest offered a diverse lineup for fans of many musical genres. Saturday’s performances included Gucci Mane, Tory Lanez, Rae Sremmurd, Summer Walker, Koffee, Queen Naija, Tobe Nwigwe and Greg Street’s “ATL Playlist” which featured Atlanta’s own Roscoe Dash, Rocko, Travis Porter, K Camp and Rich Homie Quan. Sunday’s line up included R&B performances by Ari Lennox, Teyana Taylor, Musiq Soulchild and Raphael Saadiq. Hip Hop fans witnessed the performances of a lifetime with sets from DMX, Wu-Tang Clan and KP the Great and his “Super Friends:” Monica, Lil’ Jon and the Young Bloodz, Waka Flocka, Usher, Pharrell, Lil Nas X and Crime Mob. This year also marked the first-ever “OMF HONORS,” where Atlanta music pioneers Jermaine Dupri and Dallas Austin were presented with commemorative plaques by Atlanta music manager-turned-Spotify executive, Chaka Zulu, on the main stage. From Usher to Three 6 Mafia to Ari Lennox to Raphael Saadiq, Wu-Tang and Tory Lanez, the energy throughout the day was infectious. “It’s Woodstock meets an HBCU Homecoming,” said a festival attendee.   Follow the festival on social at @onemusicfest and visit onemusicfest.com for more information

Doja Cat brings her Tour Ma Vie World Tour to Toronto on Wednesday, November 25, with a 7:30 p.m. show at Scotiabank Arena. It is one of the last stops on the biggest headlining run of her career, and it lands in the middle of a heavy week for the building.

The tour supports Vie, her fifth studio album, released in September 2025. The record is an 1980s inspired turn back toward pop, led by the singles “Jealous Type” and “Gorgeous,” and the live show has been built as a full scale arena production. Latto joins the bill as special guest for the entire North American leg, which runs 31 dates from the October 1 opener in Detroit to the December 1 finale at Madison Square Garden in New York.

Toronto gets the show near the end of the run, with Boston on November 23 before it and Montreal on November 27 after it. By the time she reaches Scotiabank Arena, the production will have played more than twenty North American arenas, on top of earlier legs across Oceania, Asia, Latin America and Europe. Earlier in November the tour also plays Miami, Tampa, Orlando and Atlanta.

Fans have been getting a look inside the tour straight from Doja Cat herself. She has been filming the run on Ray-Ban Meta glasses, posting point of view footage from backstage, soundchecks and life on the road, so the Toronto crowd will see a show that has been documented almost night by night. Tickets for November 25 are on sale through Ticketmaster. With the Garden shows in New York closing the tour one week later, the Toronto date is one of the final chances to see this production before the run wraps.
