Perhaps the most notable performer at SunFest this year is Nelly, a rapper who's won three Grammys and has been nominated for 12.

Nelly was supposed to perform at SunFest in 2022, but "had an unavoidable scheduling conflict" that forced him to drop out of the lineup, organizers said. He was also scheduled to take the stage at SunFest in 2020, but the event was canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
