MATI (Music at the Intersection) Festival and Conference returns for its fifth year with a diverse, roots-inspired and decades-spanning artist lineup. Headliners include 3x Grammy winning rapper Common with superproducer Pete Rock, the godmother of soul Patti LaBelle, New Orleans R&B singer-songwriter Lucky Daye, neo-soul R&B singer-producer Leon Thomas, legendary hip-hop group De La Soul, and jazz great Branford Marsalis.
The festival also brings back Ferguson-born trumpeter Keyon Harrold, a 4x festival alumnus, as MATI Artist-in-Residence. Additionally, Cuban jazz percussionist and singer Pedrito Martinez will perform as MATI Artist-at-Large (meaning he will perform throughout the festival on a variety of other artists’ sets).
MATI weekend - now expanded to three days - features more than 100 national, regional and St. Louis-based performances and presentations across 19 stages and venues throughout Grand Center Arts District’s festival footprint – with Washington Avenue being the main activation area. Weekend passes are $150. Weekend four-packs are also available for $400 through 8/28. Single-day passes are also available.
Since its inception in 2021, MATI has grown in size and ambition year-over-year, garnering rave reviews from attendees, as well as attention from The Recording Academy and national press outlets - including The Source, VIBE, Essence, PEOPLE, Live for Live Music, Billboard, SPIN and Forbes. We throw one hell of a party 🔥
