The lineup for "Life Goes On," a festival honoring the legacy of slain rapper Tupac Shakur, was announced Thursday by the Shakur Family Foundation, the organization behind the event. The roster includes artists who were associated with the rapper at various stages of his career.

The event is scheduled to kick off on June 12 with "A Day Of Celebration," which will consist of a dance party and a performance by Jon B. at the Atrium in Atlanta, Ga.

The festival will continue on June 13 with "A Day of Education and Healing," held at the Mayfield Catfish Farm in Mayfield, Ga.

Among the performers the foundation announced would be appearing in concert on June 13 are Shock G., who performed with 2Pac in the Digital Underground, and the Outlawz, who performed as 2Pac's backup group during his days with Death Row Records.

The concert will also feature an appearance by former boxing champion Mike Tyson, the man Tupac watched fight in Las Vegas on September 7, 1996, the night the rapper was fatally injured in a drive-by shooting. "I imagine he'll be an emcee of the event," Shakur Family Foundation spokesperson George Pryce said of Tyson's appearance. "I doubt he'll be performing."

Also scheduled to perform on June 13 are Bone Thugs-N-Harmony member Bizzy Bone, Public Enemy frontman Chuck D and rappers Richie Rich, Johnny J, Nice & Smooth, Syke, Stepchylde and Boot Camp.

Pryce said that the event on the June 13 will also consist of workshops and a talent show.

Tupac Amaru Shakur was born June 16, 1971, in New York, N.Y. Raised in hardship in both New York and the Bay Area, he absorbed his early experiences into his reality-based rap. His first stint in the national spotlight came in the late '80s when he served as a backup singer and dancer for Digital Underground. He soon emerged as a solo artist, calling himself 2Pac and releasing 2Pacalypse Now in 1991, Strictly For My Niggaz in 1993 and Me Against The World in 1995.

Later in '95, he signed to Death Row Records and released All Eyez On Me, a two-CD set that spawned a major hit in "California Love." He was shot in a car on the Las Vegas strip on September 7, 1996, and died from his wounds six days later.

In the wake of Tupac's death, his mother, Afeni Shakur, won the rights to much of the rapper's unreleased work and formed Amaru Entertainment. The company has thus far released a two-CD set entitled R U Still Down? (Remember Me) and is working on a 2Pac tribute album. She also formed the Shakur Family Foundation to help support kids interested in pursuing careers in the arts and has already begun a program to underwrite a performing-arts camp aimed at reaching inner-city youth.

" 'Life Goes On' is about celebrating hope, which is what Tupac was all about," Afeni Shakur said in the foundation's statement.

Ticketing information will be announced in the coming days.
