It’s a good time to be a neo-soul lover. On Tuesday, November 30th, the Smokin Grooves Festival announced the lineup for an epic neo-soul festival coming to Los Angeles. And if you’re a fan of Okayplayer, the lineup features every artist you love.

The festival isn’t just all legacy artists, however. There are a bunch of contemporary neo-soul artists performing, including Smino, Sir, The internet, Flying Lotus, Phony Ppl, Thundercat, Miguel, Jhené Aiko, and more.
