Word broke last week that Jay Z was making a huge announcement in Philly today. Now we know. With Philly’s mayor Michael Nutter by his side, Hov announced the inaugural edition of a two day music fest. The festival goes down September 1 and 2 at Philly’s in Fairmount Park. Tickets go on sale May 23.
Questlove took to his site Okayplayer to give a little inside info.
(if i name the other 30 acts scheduled to appear (you’ll all have to wait til next monday for that news) i will have officially become Hov’s 100th problemo and Nutter will Osage Ave up my momma’s home) Let’s just say I’ve seen the roster wish list fand i gotta say that of all the major players this year in America (Coachella, Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, Essence) THIS one is the sure shot bullseye festival. i’ll be there whether I’m —ahem working it—or not working it.
