Love Jazz Supreme Festival which takes place from Friday 1st - Sunday 3rd July with the stunning backdrop of Glynde Place in East Sussex., has revealed its first headliner for 2022 will be Erykah Badu in her only UK show of 2022.

One of the most influential artists of the modern era, Erykah Badu’s sound is a lush soundscape blending a multitude of genres including jazz, R&B, funk, soul and hip hop. Triple-platinum certified debut album Baduizm, which celebrates its 25th anniversary in 2022, won Badu widespread commercial and critical success and earned her comparisons to the likes of Billie Holiday, Lauryn Hill and Stevie Wonder. Much revered by her contemporaries, Badu has collaborated with an array of artists including Flying Lotus, The Roots, Outkast, Tyler The Creator and Janelle Monae, and in 2020 her Verzuz TV battle with Jill Scott had over 1 billion impressions online: a powerful reminder of her unfaltering ongoing influence.

Love Supreme Festival Director, Ciro Romano:

“We couldn’t be happier to be announcing Erykah Badu, a true innovator and undoubtedly one of the most exciting performers of her generation, as the first artist confirmed for Love Supreme 2022. We have many more big-name announcements planned over the coming weeks and we look forward to welcoming our Love Supreme family back to the South Downs next summer.”
