This Halloween, Rolling Stone and The Apollo announced that hip-hop icon Busta Rhymes, Grammy nominated superstar GloRilla, Grammy award winning artist Brittany Howard, and multi-award nominated rapper/singer Doechii will headline the next installment of the acclaimed Musicians on Musicians event series at the historic Apollo Theater on November 22nd, 2024.
This event, presented by Sonesta International Hotels, will feature intimate live performances as well as lively discussions moderated by TV personality, podcaster and author Touré, while celebrating the intersection of genres and the power of music and culture. Louis Cato will serve as the musical director for the event, bringing his unique vision to the performances. This year’s event exemplifies the ongoing mission to honor the rich cultural heritage of Black artists in music, particularly its profound impact on American culture. The series made its successful live debut last year, featuring a stellar lineup including Tierra Whack, Lil Yachty, Jon Batiste, and Gucci Mane.
“Musicians have an incredible way of inspiring each other,” said Gus Wenner, CEO, Rolling Stone. “With talents like Busta Rhymes, GloRilla, Brittany Howard and Doechii, we’ll see the power of collaboration and innovation through an event like Musicians on Musicians. Each of these unique artists will shine onstage, bringing out the best in each other and providing a night of unforgettable music and conversation.”
“We’re thrilled to welcome Busta Rhymes, GloRilla, Brittany Howard, and Doechii to The Apollo for this special edition of Musicians on Musicians,” said Kamilah Forbes, Executive Producer of The Apollo. “This event is a unique opportunity to not only celebrate their dynamic talent but also to honor the impact and enduring legacy of Black creativity. At The Apollo, we believe in the transformative power of art and collaboration and can’t wait to see how these remarkable and fearless artists connect with each other and our audience.”
To kick off the 2024 series, Rolling Stone and Sonesta International Hotels hosted two satellite events, providing exclusive access to guests and Sonesta Travel Pass members. The first edition featured legends Common and Noname at the Royal Sonesta Chicago Downtown, followed by Latin superstars Juanes and Goyo at Nautilus Sonesta Miami Beach.
