ESSENCE MUSIC FESTIVAL
----------------------------------------------------------
300,000
People are coming to the hottest event of the summer
The music of Luther Vandross will be celebrated by some of the
world's top performers at the Coca-Cola Presents the 2003 Essence Music Festival, set for July 3, 4, and 5 in New Orleans.
Patti LaBelle, the Luther Vandross Band and other special guests will come together for an All-Star Tribute at the Louisiana
Superdome on the Fourth of July. Essence will make a contribution from the July 4 concert tickets sales to a charity chosen
by the Vandross family.
"Although Luther physically won't be with us in New Orleans, his spirit will fill the house
through this celebration of his music."
In addition, Hip Hop superstar LL Cool J, actress/comedienne Mo'Nique and
The Gap Band have just all been added to this year's Festival lineup.
