Lenny Kravitz will headline the 2015 AfroPunk NYC Festival, alongside Lauryn Hill and Grace Jones. Kelis, Danny Brown, Suicidal Tendencies and Thundercat will also perform at the festival. Additionally, this year will mark the first annual AfroPunk Fancy Dress Ball, a pre-festival event on August 21 featuring Grace Jones, Cakes Da Killa and Mike Q. The ball will raise money for the AfroPunk Global Initiative, an “alliance dedicated to moving the needle of progress closer to a holistic, democratic and enlightened representation of people of color within all facets of society with the goal to create unique programming that encourages diversity in media,” according to a statement by organizers. The 2015 AfroPunk NYC Festival will take place August 22-23 at Brooklyn’s Commodore Barry Park. Copyright(c) 2015 RTTNews.com. All Rights ReservedLess «
