Afropunk Brooklyn's 2023 Lineup Has Jazmine Sullivan, Vince Staples & More
Brooklyn’s coolest festival is back.
Afropunk has long been Brooklyn’s coolest music festival. After taking a couple years off on account of the pandemic, the long-running event, which centers around alternative Black music and artists, made a triumphant return last September with a massive relaunch lineup. This year, the festival has made a few more changes, namely moving to a new location: Instead of taking place at the grassy grounds of Fort Greene’s Commodore Barry Park, this year’s event, scheduled for late August, will take over the Greenpoint Terminal Market in Greenpoint.
The 2023 festival will feature another stacked lineup: Jazmine Sullivan and Flying Lotus will headline the festival, and other big names like Vince Staples, Joey Badass, Baby Tate, Tobe Nwigwe, and more have been tapped to play.
In recent years, Afropunk has also expanded into Miami, Minneapolis, Atlanta, and more — but Brooklyn remains its flagship. Read on for everything you need to know about attending Afropunk Brooklyn 2023:
