Midwest Music Festival

I really had a great time and look forward to the concert next year. I drove down from Cincinnati. The directions on the GPS took me to a wrong location. But now that I know where the Yum Center is I will gladly go back again. The line up was excellent. Toni Braxton and Babyface gave a wonderful performance.

This was one of the best concerts I've been to in a long time! The show lasted 6 hours!!!! The intermissions were a little tiring and the guy who was supposed to entertain us was not funny so that didn't help! Other than that I had an amazing time!

Me and my woman went... Were on the side... I believe that was 89.00 plus the fee. We are from Lexington... Seem there were several like us from lex sitting in the same section. We went the first night. sitting looked patchy as tix were solding at premium. (closer you were more you paid) wish they just went with one whole price and kept everyone together as most ppl were on the floor or back or first two sections of the side. anyone who has seen a Uk football game after about the third quarter knows what I mean. Do wish the entertainment was lined up by better. I dont think ginuine and lyfee jennings should be with charlie wilson and chaka khan. lyfe and ginuine should be with anthony and tony while charlie and chaka with baby face.... I suppose kinds like cincinnati macys jazz fest.... where frankie beverly, maze and all other old school acts would be on sunday night. some 80's 90 acts on friday and ther rest on saturday with old school on sunday .... I would exclud ginwine from this concert...nothign personal... just seem out. Overall I never been to macys but knows it a headache when it comes to rooms and traffic..... this event only downfall was being a week prior to soul food fest which makes ppl choose one or the other since tix were high for both. seats perfect... maybe pay $75.00 for

both nights were great. I had only seen one of the acts once before. I would like to see a jumbo screen so you can actually see the singer's face. can not wait to see who comes next year.

Especially Chaka Khan and Charlie Wilson. Toni Braxton played to the crowd and took requests! All in all very satisfied with two day event!

Anthony Hamilton was the reason for the trip. I love his spirit. I searched the web to find out when he would be in Atlanta this year and found this festival. I love Charlie Wilson also. So needless to say along with the two day lineup, the trip to Louisville, KY was a must. We expected a good time. This festival was on another level of excellence. The DJ's, the entire production from start to finish was so much fun for us. The intermissions were awesome as well. I have lost my voice. I felt safe and secure. The location was great! My group is looking forward to next year and is expecting this level of performers. We wouldn't mind if next year's lineup is the same, it was just that good to us.

All the performers were great!! However, Charlie Wilson was awesome. He was great from the beginning to the end! He never fails!!

Overall it was very nice!! I'll come back every year if it's turned up like this

This concert was off the chain...Baby Face tore it up....And I just loved Anthony Hamilton!!!!I will be going back next year. I cant wait to see who the line up will be....

Though I really wanted to attend Friday, I am so glad I came to the Saturday night concert. Anthony Hamilton was a real killer--he is an awesome performer! And his backup singers gave us a wonderful stage show. The show could have ended then! Then there was Baby Face--well, I have never have seen him in concert before--but he was the bomb and his interaction with the crowd was phenomenal. Though Toni Braxton was excellent, she did not get the best of us--the crowd. By the time she came on, everyone was either tired or leaving.

SIMPLY LOVED, LOVED THE SHOW ALL PERFORMERS WERE GREAT....BUT CHARLIE WILSON WAS SIMPLY AWESOME!!!!!

the sound system was horrible, to much bass, vocals mic not clear, consent muffled sound or there was a continue break in the sound. toni braxton came on last boring . her sound man didn't have her mic's together at all, way to much bass and you couldn't understand hardly anything she was singing.

AMAZINGLY AWESOME !!!!! TONI INTER-ACTED WITH MY WIFE & I , THE TRIP FROM DELAWARE WAS VERY MUCH WORTH IT ...

Enjoyed Mali Music.... Avant.... Anthony Hamilton.... and Babyface but Toni Braxton was absolutely AMAZING and stole my heart the moment she stepped on stage! LOVE LOVE LOVE her!

This concert was excellent accept for the fact that it was a bit long. By the time Toni Braxton finished performing it was well after 1am. The concert started at 7:30pm

The festival was very fun! The event was very enjoyable with little to no chaos

The overall show was awesome! All the acts were smoothly coordinated really worth the 2 1/2 drive

The overall show was great. The performances were captivating and very engaging. I would have changed the overall timing of the performances as the show kind of fizzled out towards the end. However over all, I had an amazing time. Can't wait until next year.

Everyone was fantastic but Toni Braxton!! She should have only sang her songs with BABYFACE and not alone. She's not strong enough to be the show stopper nor should she perform alone!!

Opening acts were very good. Avant was excellent. Babyface was fabulous. Braxton was not good.

It was AWESOME. I had never seen BABY FACE, TONI BRAXTON, AVANT AND KEKE, ANTHONY HAMILTON as well as the other 2 artist before. I had a ball. I flew in from DALE CITY, VA and it was worth it and then some. I LOVED IT and so did my friend that I brought with me, for she wanted to see ANTHONY HAMILTON. I did not tell her about the other artist that were on the schedule. it was a belated MOTHER'S DAY PRESENT and she had a wonderful time.

The concert was long around 6 hours. All the artist put a lot of effort into their performances & sung a lot of their songs.

TONIE Braxton was not empressive, she needs to how to dance

We had the greatest time of our live. We drove from Highland, Indiana about 15 minutes from Chicago. Purchased our tickets in January and what an event.

This review is based on the loooong concert lengths as well as performances. I attended both shows. We came down for a girls weekend from Chicago and were really expecting to have an amazing time. Instead we got concerts that put is in a state of fatigue, exhaustion, but most of all....boredom!!!! The first concert on Friday night was 4 and 1/2 hrs.. The second night was 6 HOURS long!!!!! The line up for the first night was Genuine, Lyfe Jennings, Shaka Khan and Charlie Wilson.. Charlie was definitely the star of the show. All the others, ehhh... (I was really expecting more from Shaka). The second night was what I really came for... Avant, KeeKee, Toni Braxton, Babyface, and Anthony Hamilton. I was expected to get knocked off my feet!!! NOT!!!! Babyface was the star of this show. He was EXCELLENT!!! Toni put on a Vegas show(hmmmmmm) with too much crowd participation... I was soooo disappointed!!! I really expected for both Toni and Babyface to shut it down!!! Avant and Keke... Major disappointment... I have seen them in concert and they usually put on a GREAT Show, but not that night. Anthony Hamilton performed for over an hr.. (Didn't know he had that many songs). All in all, both shows allowed for too much time for the "opening" performers. This made the concerts really long. Sitting in Stadium seats with no leg room for that many hrs was just too uncomfortable. Hopefully they will make some changes if they have it again next year.

This was the first time this event had been held and the line up both days was great. However, the icing on the cake was Babyface!! His performance was phenomenal. It places him in the field of one of the Greatest R&B Entertainers of All Times. I never do reviews but I could not let this one pass me by. If you have the opportunity to see Babyface in concert and if you love listening to the sweet sounds of love songs of your youth, then do not hesitate to purchase the best seat in the venue to see him. Anthony Hamilton and Avant were also great and could hold their own with a group of artists or by themselves. I will definitely go to see both of them as headliners in the very near future.

The concert was Great. I really liked Avant, Keke Wyatt, Anthony Hamilton and Baby Face. But Toni Braxton should not have gotten on stage at Mid-night. There was a slew of people leaving she sings slow songs and that is to late for slow songs putting people to sleep.I would have loved to see Keke Wyatt sing some of her own songs, as well the ones she sang with Avant. Good seats. But for someone sitting that far you should have had screens on the side of the stage so we could see the artists up close. I sat in the handicap accessible seats, and this was as close as we could get. But having a screen would make our experience better to see the artists.

All the artist were amazing. Definitely gave us our monies worth! I'm so glad this is going to be an annual event. I look forward to next year!

3 good acts and 1 great act. Uncle Charlie performed his butt off. He was the show. Lyfe Jennings was good although he performed mostly slow songs. Ginuwine still has it and can move like no other. I was a little disappointed with Chaka Khaun. She was the one that I really wanted to see and it was hard to hear her over her band. I would have rather her let her back up singers do her portion, those 3 ladies were great. In between the performers, there was this fantastic D.J. I think his name was Smooth and he was. I could have listened to him all night, nothing but ol' school. Minus Uncle Charlie, he was the thing that night. Now for Uncle Charlie, you know why he is a legend. He had the most energy out of all the performers from start to finish. Non stop dancing and partying. I WOULD go see him again two times over. I hope the festival will stick around.

Saturday night at the Music Fest was awesome great concert ice crown great atmosphere can't wait for them to come back again. please keep bringing so good YUM center.

The show was absolutely wonderful; I loved all the artists (Avant/Keke Wyatt, Anthony Hamilton,Toni Braxton and of course Babyface)!

WE will Atrend in 2015 great show. The show was Amazing and meet and greet was so nice withAnthony Hamilton and his band.

I had a blast!!! It was great seeing Avant, Keke Wyatt, baby face, Anthony Hamilton & Toni Braxton an awesome line up. I look forward to next year's festival and plan on attending!!!

My fist time in Louisville and it won't be my last. The first midwest fest was amazing the best concert we been too in years.

Very nice clean facility!! Staff was nice and helpful. Loved the bars on both side of main floor area. Only draw backs: could use lighting along stairs ( prevent injury) and seats on main floor were hard to read because aisle numbers were written in chalk under the seats which was impossible to figure out/see without assistance. Food choices were good. Overall it was very, very nice.

Charlie Wilson puts on a great show !!!! The show was well worth the money

His name is Charlie last name Wilson...that is all that needs to be said! Charlie gave the best show I've seen in a long time.

Great Show, Let do it again next year. At the Yum Center

Great show. All the performers were great. I got to take a picture with Lyfe Jennings.
