Organizers of the Essence Festival of Culture have revealed that legendary soul group Maze featuring Frankie Beverly will be recognized during this summer's gathering with “a star-studded tribute” that will “honor their final performance.” Maze, which is currently on a farewell tour, was the closing act for the New Orleans festival’s first 15 years, beginning in 1995. The group last returned to the festival — the world’s largest celebration of Black women, culture and communities — in 2019.
It is unclear whether the appearance will see Maze perform a full or partial set or whether they'll be lauded by other artists singing their songs. An Essence spokesperson said additional details about Beverly’s participation will be revealed in the coming weeks. Fans are asked to wear all-white that night, in keeping with the tradition of Beverly’s closing nights at Essence. Beverly was one of several acts for the festival's July 5-7 nighttime concerts that were revealed recently.
