Erykah Badu
The Soul'd Out Music Festival is not playing around for 2018, and there's no better (or badder) proof of this than having Ms. Badu kick everything off with a bang (from Mama's Gun, no doubt.) With a list of hits alternating between slinky and spiky all the way back to the birth of neo-soul in the late '90s, it's a guarantee Ms. Badu is gonna get you caught up in all kinds of feelings by the time the Schnitz shuts down for the night.
