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.

As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.
Thank you for your generous support and believing in independent news.
