Billboard Hot 100 Music Festival Line Up Announced

Billboard is set to host their second annual Hot 100 Festival this summer. With growing anticipation, Billboard decided to release the headliners for the show. J. Cole, Fetty Wap, Ariana Grande. Calvin Harris, and Martin Garrix will headline the show. Rae Sremmurd and Desiigner are among others set to perform.

This will mark the first major concert for newcomer, Desiigner, who has seen much success from his hit single “Panda.” A snippet of the song was first featured on Kanye West’s recent album, The Life of Pablo. The song absolutely sky rocketed after that appearance, jumping from not even being on the Billboard chart to holding a number 1 spot after a few weeks. Desiigner is now signed to Kanye’s label, G.O.O.D Music.

For Cole this will be a great way to kick off a busy summer. The highest paid rapper for 2015 out of Fayetteville, is already set to headline two more festivals, including the Outside Lands show and also making appearances at a few others. That’s what happens when you produce a number 1 selling album without any features. Cole is sure to rock this entire summer, with his classic performances and reputation for having surprises for fans.

Other performers have yet to be announced but seeing as though over 40 people performed at last years event, its pretty clear that more artists are in the mix. At last years event which included Nicki Minaj, The Weeknd, and Justin Bieber, was a huge success. The festival had over 40,000 fans in attendance. Hopefully this event will produce the same, if not, more buzz.
