"His father, brother and I are beyond thankful to everyone who is working to make this concert happen along with every fan and every friend for continuing to support Malcolm and his vision.
“He was a caring, loving human with a smile that could light up the sky and a soul that was out to make the world a kinder place and the MMCF will continue to do just that.”
The line up will include Anderson.Paak, Chance the Rapper, John Mayer, Miguel, SZA, Thundercat, Travis Scott, Ty Dolla $ign and more, with tickets going on sale 5th October.
