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?

<--- Me when my head hits the pillow

I'd definitely go. NO BRAINER in 2019.

covid and costs are my biggest concerns.

who is touring as slum village now?

...Slum Village! Hilarious yet sad, killing that almost legendary name...

Integrity is the Cornerstone of Artistry...

Wish they would do one of the east coast.

yussef dayes? helluva lineup.

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.

they're going to cram 30+ acts in a
day. artists probably starving because
if covid, hence the ticket pricing.

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.

17x NBA Champions

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.

Hiatus Kaiyote and Kamasi didn't even exist, and almost every act has released great works since then.

easy to get to via the train, and lots of space. i got my GA ticket. I'll be chilling towards the back.

probably not gonna be able to see all, but i'll try.
