New York’s The Meadows Music And Arts Festival, billed a the “sibling festival” to Governors Ball, debuted in 2016 with a lineup that included Kanye West, The Weeknd, J. Cole and Chance the Rapper. The festival was unofficially crowned the city’s best of the year, but it was marked by both highs (J. Cole subtly revealed he was working on 4 Your Eyez Only) and lows (Kanye cut his set short upon discovering that his wife had been robbed at gunpoint in Paris).
The 2017 installment happens this weekend (September 15-17) at Citi Field in Queens, NY. Hoping to build upon the success of its predecessor, the lineup looks very promising: JAY-Z (who headlines the opening day), Red Hot Chili Peppers, Future, Gorillaz, Nas,
Kamaiyah, Ghostface Killah, 21 Savage, Tory Lanez, Joey Bada$$, De La Soul, Migos, Erykah Badu, Run The Jewels and the kitchen sink are among the many, many acts throughout the weekend.
Those who are unable to attend The Meadows, have no fear: TIDAL has set up a free stream for all four stages. They can be viewed below.
