The season of festivals is upon us! Yesterday, the lineups for both Soundset 2016 and the inaugural Panorama Festival were announced, and they’re both SO good! Soundset goes down Memorial Day Weekend – May 29, to be exact – at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds in St. Paul, Minnesota. Tons of names are on the bill, including A$AP Rocky, Machine Gun Kelly, one of my favorite upcoming female rappers Lexii Aliijai, Danny Brown, Jay Rock, Post Malone, Anderson .Paak & The Free Nationals, Common, The Roots…the list goes on and on! The 10-hour event will also feature a B-Boy/B-Girl competition, as well as a graffiti showcase. As for the inaugural Panorama Festival, it will go down right here in NYC, at Randall’s Island Park from July 22 through the 24. It’s put together by the same company that brings us Coachella, and will feature ScHoolboy Q, Kendrick Lamar, SZA, A$AP Rocky, DJ Khaled, Run The Jewels, Anderson .Paak and many more. It also promises “dynamic art installations, innovative technology, and some of NYC’s best local eats.”
