Cousinz Festival 2026 was one for the books.

The Norfolk festival brought out some huge names, with T.I. leading the lineup as headliner alongside Keyshia Cole, The-Dream, Plies, and many more.

Coming off a major comeback year, TIP is enjoying is victory lap. From releasing his apparent farewell album, Kill The King, to headlining Hot 107.9’s Birthday Bash in his hometown of Atlanta, the King of the South has had plenty to celebrate.

That energy carried over to the Cousinz Festival stage, where TIP did his big one. The Atlanta legend ran through some of his biggest hits, including “24’s” and “You Don’t Know Me,” while also performing his latest record, “Let ‘Em Know.”

With The-Dream finally giving fans the long-awaited sequel to Love/Hate, Cousinz Festival was the perfect opportunity for the R&B hitmaker to pull up and show Virginia fans what he’s been cooking.

Bryan-Michael Cox also put on a show, bringing out Day26, Lil Mo, and Jagged Edge while running through some of his classic records.

The festival took over the Norfolk Scope Grounds, with comedian Chico Bean handling hosting duties and keeping the crowd laughing throughout the festivities.

With a stacked lineup and plenty of memorable moments, Cousinz Festival 2026 gave Virginia a weekend worth remembering.
