At the end of August, the music festival will host a slew of performances from the likes of Jason Derulo, Justin Bieber, The Chainsmokers, Fetty Wap, Kiesza, Santigold, and plenty of other acts at New York’s Nikon at Jones Beach Theater. Along with the main stage, Billboard is utilizing the surrounding area of the beach to set up two additional stages where more Hot 100 acts will perform.
“It’s an honor to be able to extend the Billboard brand into the festival space, and we feel that Jones Beach is the perfect location to create something truly unique and unforgettable,” says Billboard co-president John Amato.
Along with the main acts, ILoveMakonenn and Natalie La Rose will also be performing as well as another surprise guest (who’s name has been blurred from the flyer). The festival will take place August 22-23. Tickets will go on sale beginning July 16 at 10 a.m. ET on LiveNation. Check out the official line-up in the gallery!
