The A3C Festival & Conference recently unveiled the lineup for their 2018 showcase, and it’s pretty damn impressive. The star-studded bill will feature New York legends the Wu-Tang Clan, Lil Wayne, The Diplomats, Curren$y, Mannie Fresh, and more, as well as emerging local talents J.I.D., Childish Major, and Deante Hitchcock.
The Wu-Tang Clan will be celebrating the 25th anniversary of their iconic debut album, Enter the Wu-Tang: 36 Chambers. Every member of the group is expected to be in attendance to participate in a two-day event known as the Wu-Tang Experience, which will culminate in a can’t-miss headlining performance.
This will be A3C’s 14th annual showcase, and will take place at the Georgia Freight Depot for the second year in a row.
“We’re adding a DJ stage and are redeveloping our indoor stage to be a national platform for the best hip-hop artists on the come-up,” says Mike Walbert, Executive Director of A3C. “It will be a launching pad to propel talented artists to the next level. We’re one of the only festivals in the world that bridge the gap between hip-hop’s icons and the future stars.”
The 2018 A3C Festival & Conference goes down Wed., Oct. 3rd through Sun., Oct 7, and will feature three stages of music, educational panels, live art, food trucks, and local vendors. The festival has rapidly grown from a local showcase into one of the largest and most important hip-hop events of the year, aiming to educate and empower artists, entrepreneurs, and creatives that shape hip-hop culture.
Tickets for the event can be purchased online. Further information about the festival and conference can be found here and here. Check out the festival poster below.
