The Name on the Marquee
Funkmaster Flex
Winter Fest is Funk Flex's stage. When the temperature drops, the city turns up — and nobody commands an arena night like Flex. His name sits on top of the bill for a reason: this is his room, his city, his night.
On December 30 he brings R&B, hip-hop, reggae and soca under one roof at Barclays Center — hosted by Nessa, powered by HOT 97.
7 PM Main Stage
JDymonds
The night starts here. JDymonds is on the official Winter Fest lineup, opening the evening on the 7 PM Main Stage at Barclays Center — the set that sets the temperature for everything that follows.
Be in the building early. When the lights drop at seven, JDymonds is the first name the arena hears.
Also on the 7 PM stage: Nems / Ron Browz · Fergie Baby · DreamDoll · Breannie · Cristion D'Or · Kocky Ka · Trust Mula · T-Sexie · La Biggie
