While the festival was celebrating it’s 30th anniversary, the icon is also celebrating a milestone as his diamond-certified album ‘Confessions‘ hit it’s 20th anniversary this year (March 19).

In honor of that, the R&B giant performed the full album in it’s entirety, and a few extra songs from his new album ‘Coming Home.’
