It was announced at the closing of the 2008 Essence Music Festival, that Beyonce Knowles will be headlining at the festival in 2009 to celebrate it’s 15th anniversary. The president of Essence Communications Inc., Michelle Ebanks, and editor of Essence magazine, Angela Burt-Murray, made the announcement at the Louisiana Superdome on Sunday.

Bey has already attended the festival three times before and even once with Destiny’s Child. The event will be held on July 3, 4, and 5 of 2009. It should be exciting to see her there again!
