2017 marks the 10th year Minneapolis-based rap group Atmosphere (pictured here, lead Sean Michael “Slug” Daley) has headlined at Minnesota’s largest music festival, Soundset.
On Wednesday, March 1, the Minnesota-created hip-hop festival Soundset announced the lineup for 2017.
Headlining this year’s Soundset is Travis Scott and Atmosphere, with a special appearance by Ms. Lauryn Hill. Other well-known artists performing at this year’s festival will be Gucci Mane, T.I. and Mac Miller.
This year marks the 10th anniversary of Soundset, which was started in 2008 by Rhymesayers Entertainment. From what began in the Metrodome parking lot, Soundset transitioned to the much larger Minnesota State Fair Grounds in the past year.
The festival is Minnesota’s largest music festival and has featured remarkable artists in its 10-year history: Snoop Dogg, Ice Cube, Ludacris, Macklemore, Kendrick Lamar and Chance the Rapper.
The festival is Sunday, May 28 (Memorial Day weekend). Tickets have already gone on sale. For general admission, the festival is $74 (with fees).
