How does this measure up to Lovers & Friends in the past?

When the event launched back in 2022, the event got started with the namesakes of the festival. Usher, Ludacris and Lil Jon was released in 2004 (twenty years ago, what the...) and they, of course, had to be a part. That first year also featured massive stars like Lauryn Hill, TLC, Nelly and Brandy AND Monica. They should always be a package deal.

In 2023, Usher returned to the stage alongside Missy Elliott, Mariah Carey, 50 Cent, Chris Brown and Christina Aguilera. Plus don't sleep on "No Diggity" stars Blackstreet and the 702's own 702. Boyz II Men brought the love to the... Friends stage? Why not the Lovers stage? Whatever it was, they were amazing as always. Legit, four Las Vegas residency headliners in one mega concert. Insanity.
