This year’s HOT 97 Summer Jam has a blockbuster lineup. On Monday (April 3), the bill was announced, with Cardi B as headliner, preceded by some of the biggest rising acts in hip-hop including Coi Leray, Ice Spice, Lil Tjay, GloRilla, Lola Brooke and more. The one-day show returns to UBS Arena in Elmont, New York on June 4.
Having held its inaugural festival in 1994 in New Jersey, the 29th edition of Summer Jam arrives just in time for the 50th anniversary of hip-hop. Additional guests include New York veterans The LOX, composed of Jadakiss, Sheek Louch, and Styles P, for a special performance. NLE Choppa, Kenzo B, 2Rare, Sha EK, McVert, and TQ will also take the stage. Scheduled to emcee a pre-festival show is They Got Amnesia rapper French Montana.
“HOT 97’s Summer Jam is a hip-hop staple and we are excited to bring the most electric show of the summer back to NY for hip-hop’s 50th anniversary,” said Bradford Tobin, President, Chief Operating Officer, and General Counsel in a press release.
“The show is all about bringing hip-hop’s biggest stars to the stage and we are honored to have New York’s own, Cardi B, as our headliner this year,” added TT Torrez, multimedia personality and VP of Artist and Label Relations. “I am so proud of the strong female presence in our lineup, which represents women’s dominance over the airwaves this year.”
In 2022, the HOT 97 Summer Jam stage was shared by Fivio Foreign, Lil Durk, Lil Baby, Benny the Butcher, Roddy Rich, and more.
An exclusive Summer Jam presale for American Express card members begins April 4 at 10 a.m. EST before concluding April 6 at 10 p.m. EST. A general sale starts April 8 at 10 a.m. EST on the HOT 97 website and Ticketmaster.
