Meanwhile, another longtime Virginia festival returns next month.

The Hampton Jazz & Music Festival re-emerges June 27 through 29 at the Hampton Coliseum. The lineup includes Patti LaBelle, PJ Morton, Anthony Hamilton, Lucky Daye, Maysa, Lalah Hathaway, Keith Sweat, SWV, Jeff Bradshaw, Mike Phillips, Gladys Knight, Stephanie Mills and Damien Escobar.

First launched in 1970 through a collaboration between Hampton University and the City of Hampton, the event — formerly known as the Hampton Jazz Festival — has long drawn large crowds and major performers. Since its founding in 1968 as a celebration of Hampton University’s 100th anniversary, the festival has grown into a staple of the East Coast music scene.
