Get ready, Beyhive — the queen herself, Beyoncé, is headlining night two of SoCal's mega music festival this year. She left fans mourning when she pulled out of last year's edition, but promised to return this year. Now, the prophecy is officially set to come to fruition.
The Weeknd will headline night one of the now two-weekend event, while Eminem is taking night three. The two duplicate weekends packed with the hottest names in music are April 13-15 and April 20-22.
Other major names include HAIM, SZA, Cardi B, Kygo, Fleet Foxes, St. Vincent, Miguel, Tyler the Creator, Vince Staples and more.
For those of you who prefer your music a bit more classic, '90s icons Jamiroquai are part of the night one lineup, while the legendary David Byrne of Talking Heads and classic disco group Chic, featuring Nile Rodgers, both make an appearance on night two.

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
