Hot 97 Summer Jam 2016 Lineup
Every year, Hot 97, the widely loved New York rap radio station, throws its annual Summer Jam, a huge stadium show that regularly features the biggest names in the genre at any given time. Summer Jam always has a ton of surprise guest appearances, and it’s fascinating to see who the station picks to play the festival every year. It’s just announced the lineup for this year’s show, which comes to New Jersey’s Metlife Stadium 6/5. This year, as Miss Info points out, Big Sean will serve as the de facto headliner, which seems like a huge step up. The bill includes “Pusha T and G.O.O.D. Music,” which all but guarantees a Kanye West guest appearance. Also on the lineup: DJ Khaled and friends, A$AP Rocky and A$AP Ferg together, post-Drake R&B sensation Bryson Tiller, Young Thug, and Tinashe, with more acts to be announced. Meanwhile, the outdoor festival stage will include sets from Chance The Rapper, Tory Lanez, Curren$y, Post Malone, Dave East, Justine Skye, Dougie F, and Rotimi, as well as Desiigner, who will most certainly make his way inside the stadium to perform “Panda” at some point. And if you’re wondering why Chance is relegated to the outdoor stage, consider the fact that he still doesn’t get radio play. This is, after all, a radio station show.
