Erykah, Nas and the Roots, Miguel, Jhene Aiko, The Internet, Fly Lo, Kamasi Washington, The Free Nationals, Muziq, Talib, Dead Prez, Macy Grey, india.arie, Slum Village, Little Dragon, Sir, Hiatus Kaiote, and more

Granted this lineup would be much better in 2002 than 2022, but it's a great collection of artists.

What do you think?
3035677, If CVOID is under control

I'd definitely go. NO BRAINER in 2019.

3035690, I didn't realize one-day festivals were so expensive.

covid and costs are my biggest concerns.

...Slum Village! Hilarious yet sad, killing that almost legendary name...
3035692, Best lineup I’ve seen in a long time
Posted by makaveli, Thu Dec-02-21 02:53 PM
Wish they would do one of the east coast.
3035694, oh sh*t

Posted by Ishwip, Thu Dec-02-21 05:09 PM
Erykah, Nas, the Roots, The Internet, Fly Lo, Kamasi Washington, The Free Nationals, Talib, I've seen before but....



----->Hiatus Kaiyote I've desperately wanted to check off my list since they debuted.........like, it's become a consistent point of annoyance that I haven't had the opportunity haha. Hopefully we can get tickets, I feel like everything is ruined now by bots/scalpers.

3035709, not sure how
Posted by Crash Bandacoot, Fri Dec-03-21 12:44 PM
they're going to cram 30+ acts in a
day. artists probably starving because
if covid, hence the ticket pricing.
3035718, multiple simultaneous stages Im sure

3035722, Bought a ticket but

I’m quite skeptical of these pop up festivals.

Going to Once Upon a Time in LA in a couple weeks so we’ll see I guess.
3035740, i've seen a festival before at the park
Posted by blackfoot_female, Sat Dec-04-21 09:31 PM
it was a great experience. the park is easy to get to, large enough there should be some pockets of space, and has great views of mountains and dtla.
3035737, How would it be better in 2002?
Posted by blackfoot_female, Sat Dec-04-21 09:08 PM
Hiatus Kaiyote and Kamasi didn't even exist, and almost every act has released great works since then.
3035738, The park is a GREAT venue
Posted by blackfoot_female, Sat Dec-04-21 09:08 PM
