The City of Atlanta is excited to welcome the 1st R&B Soul Picnic to the largest and most popular park in Atlanta, Piedmont Park April 2nd and April 3rd. As a response to troubling times amid post-pandemic society, the R&B Soul Picnic will be an all-day soul healing experience where the Atlanta community will be promoting mental health awareness and celebrating R&B music.

The all day outdoor concert will feature live performances by exceptional Grammy award-winning talent all weekend long including Jermaine Dupri (Grammy Award Winning Producer), Dallas Austin (Grammy Award Winning Producer), DJ Baby Yu (Young Jeezy’s Official DJ), DJ Trauma (Dave Chapelle’s Official DJ), DJ Mars (Monica’s Official DJ), DJ SNS & many more. This event was created to pay homage to the Dj’s who are huge staples in the R&B community as well as provide a healthy outlet for guests to get the healing they need; whether that be musical, spiritual and/or emotional. 

“We’ve all had a bad couple of years surviving this pandemic. We lost loved ones and hope in the process. Our souls need some healing, what better way to heal our souls than some good ole R&B music, I mean music period,” said Jermaine Dupri. 

In the park, thousands of R&B Soul Picnic attendees will enjoy nationally and internationally renowned DJs, along with surprise guest performances, vending from local businesses, VIP tents and charging stations. This event will serve as a safe space where attendees are encouraged to bring coolers, blankets,yoga mats and lawn chairs.

Founder of the R&B Soul Picnic, Ais York is beaming with excitement about his event coming all together.

“This year’s Atlanta R&B Soul Picnic is all about healing for all of our souls after these hard last few pandemic years. We are providing a safe space where any and everyone can gather up their families and friends and come on out. We will also have mental health specialists, yoga specialists, hosts and comedians there engaging with the audience. We want this space to be relaxing, fun, festive and community driven,” said Ais York (Founder)  

The inaugural R&B Soul Picnic will be an opportunity to celebrate the official coming of the spring in Atlanta as we evolve away from social distancing, wearing masks and avoiding each other just in time for the leaves and flowers to bloom in a rebirth of sorts in the City of Atlanta. This event will be a reunion for friends and family coming to Atlanta from all across the country as well as friends, college classmates etc that haven’t seen each other since the pandemic.
