The Aruba Soul Beach Music Festival is back for a 19th year this spring, with a slate of performers including superstar John Legend.

Legend will be the biggest name in a group of performers that also includes Charlie Wilson, Ella Mai, H.E.R., comedian Deon Cole and special guest DJ Jazzy Jeff.

This year’s festival will run from May 22-27, with a mix of live music performances, comedy shows and a host of beach parties.

“Aruba’s undeniable charm reveals the trifecta of a visually breath taking atmosphere, a multifaceted event and the energy that comes with camaraderie of people across the globe who glow up together and bask in the three-in-one experience,” festival organizers said in a statement.
