Some of hip-hop’s top artists– past, present, and future — will perform at this year’s Rochester MusicFest on July 16 and 17.

Boyz II Men, John Legend, Ciara, Faith Evans, Common and Brian McKnight are just some of the artists who will play over the weekend.

Bands will take the stage at 1 p.m. on both days at Genesee Valley Park in Rochester, New York, just a 3-hour drive from Toronto.

Tickets (adults: $32 for one day or $49 for 2 days; children: $10 or $17 for 2 days) are available through Ticketmaster.
