New York City has become a hotbed for summer festivals over the last couple years from Governors Ball to an extension of The Roots Picnic to Summer Jam and the newly announced Panorama festival.

Today, another new festival, The Meadows, has sprouted up in the city, set to take place October 1-2 at Citi Field in Queens.

Founded by the same people that runs Governors Ball, the festival is set to feature “the very best in hip hop, electronic, indie rock and more,” the website said. “The Meadows will offer a four stage festival experience that is enhanced by a carefully curated food program, artisanal cocktail offerings, graffiti art installations, and more.”

But most importantly, who will rock the stages?

Kanye West, The Weeknd and Chance the Rapper are set to headline the festival with Bryson Tiller, Mac Miller, Pusha T, Chromeo, Jack Garratt, Grimes and more to help in support. There are also two acts yet to be announced who are covered up on the flyer.

Tickets to The Meadows go on sale Wednesday at 11 a.m. if you purchased tickets to Governors Ball in the past. General admission goes on sale Thursday at the same time starting at $230 (which isn’t terrible considering that’s nearly how much it’d cost to see Kanye and Chance individually on their recently announced tours).

Check out the full lineup below.
