“Founders Entertainment is proud to announce the lineup for the second annual edition of The Meadows Music And Arts Festival, taking place Sept. 15 to 17 in Queens, New York at the Citi Field complex,” read a statement from the group behind The Meadows.

“This fall, the festival… is expanding to a third day of Music, Art, Food, and Entertainment. JAY Z, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Gorillaz, Future, Nas, Bassnectar, Weezer, Run The Jewels, M.I.A., Erykah Badu and more cap a lineup packed to the brim with New York City artists and the most electric performers from around the world,” the statement continued.

Also performing over the weekend will be LL Cool J with DJ Z-Trip, Foster The People, Migos, Action Bronson, De La Soul, Joey Bada$$, Tory Lanez, Big Boi, A-Trak, Ghostface Killah, Tegan and Sara, Blood Orange and more.

This year’s festival will also be streamed exclusively on Tidal. According to Founders Entertainment, “The livestream will feature performances from all four festival stages as they take place from deep within the heart of Queens.”

Jay Z, who hasn’t been on tour since the 2014 On the Run Tour with Beyonce, was recently added to the Austin City Limits and Made In America festival lineups. With the rapper now doing the 2017 tour circuit, it could mean a new album is on the way, as artists often use tours to promote new music.

On May 5, producer Swizz Beatz took to Instagram and posted a photo of him and the rapper, writing, “They don’t even know what’s about to happen. Album mode zone.” Swizz wasn’t the only producer to post a photo with Jay Z. In 2016, Zaytoven posted a photo of the two in a recording studio, captioning the photo, “Jaytoven.”

The producer told Billboard, “So when Jay Z invited me to his house and told me what type of beats he wanted, it opened my mind up to be like, ‘My music is reaching everybody and touching people in a certain way.’” He added, “There’s a distinct something when they hear my music. I feel like [the collaboration] is gonna be for both of [our projects]. I know it’s going to be a trophy for me.”
