Chaka Khan has joined the lineup for Artscape 2024.
Mayor Brandon Scott announced on Monday that the 10-time Grammy Award winner will be the festival’s headliner on Friday, Aug. 2.
“#Baltimore, y’all thought we were done with the Artscape lineup? Nope!,” Scott said on Instagram. “The incomparable, legendary @chakakhan will hit the stage on Friday, August 2nd, as she continues to celebrate 50 incredible years of her music!”
Born Yvette Marie Stevens and known for songs such as “Tell Me Something Good,” “Sweet Thing,” and “Ain’t Nobody,” Khan, 71, first performed at Artscape in 1993. Opening for her will be Maeta, an alternative R&B singer and songwriter based in Los Angeles.
