R&B will be impressively represented at this year’s Hot 107.9 Birthday Bash celebration. The Atlanta radio station has announced Chris Brown, Keri Hilson and Lloyd as the first performers confirmed to rock the stage at the Birthday Bash 2011, their 16th annual summer concert. 

Last year performers at the event, which commemorates the anniversary of the radio station, included Ludacris, Gucci Mane, Rick Ross, Young Jeezy, Plies, Travis Porter, Luke, Monica, and Ciara. For this year’s event, Atlanta will welcome C Breezy on the BBash stage for the first time, while ATliens Keri Hilson and Lloyd will be returning as veterans of the all-star festivities.  

The southern hip hop station will be announcing more performers in the weeks to come. Birthday Bash 16 will take place June 18 at Phillips Arena in downtown Atlanta.
