I dunno guys, sure it is all about the experience and we are all agreed, right – but where is that one mindblowing name? At least last year had Eminem, when your headlines can’t sell out MSG or Barclay, what are you selling? The last time Tyler, The Creator played Gov Ball he was AT THE SMALL STAGE, the last time he performed in nyc he was at Hulu. Florence was at Barclays. However, once you get past the headliners, the line-up improves!
However, there is certainly no Ariana Grande, while hip hop is represented (Nas, Vince Staples, Denzel Curry, Joey Bada$$), POP IS COMPLETELY IGNORED. Maybe (maybe) Major Lazer) but no DJs, no Calvin, no benny bianco…
THE STROKES – In 2014 the Strokes defined YOLO with an all hits mid-afternoon performance that was simply legendary, then they sucked in 2016, so your guess is as good as mine for 2019.

I believe you mentioned a bit too less about Playboi Carti and others. You just went on praising Eminem and Ariana, others were good too. Playboi Carti is the next big thing. Hoping for attend his 2020 concert. Anyone up for it?
