MLive reported that T.I., originally scheduled to perform at this year’s festival on June 30, canceled after it was revealed that his 8-year-old daughter was honored and performed at the 24th Annual BET Awards in Los Angeles.

“His performance in 2025 is sure to be a thrilling and memorable part of our concert lineup,” said Kat Paye, National Cherry Festival executive director, in a written statement. “We can’t wait to see fans from all over the region come together for an amazing night of music.”

The National Cherry Festival also revealed that DJ XCape and Ajax Stacks will open for the “Bring Em Out” lyricist.

It was recently announced that T.I. and fellow Atlanta rapper and entrepreneur Killer Mike had reopened Atlanta’s legendary Bankhead Seafood on November 17. The popular eatery in the historic Atlanta Westside closed in 2018 but was revitalized by the two Atlanta residents. It had been a beloved staple for 50 years before shutting down five years ago.
