LINE-UP: Broccoli City Festival 2018
You know what? We can remember when Trillectro made it’s stamp as the premiere music festival in Washington, D.C. (not Maryland, not Virginia — D.C.). We can also remember when that was followed by a slew of other D.C. festivals — whether or not Broccoli City’s big event was in this grouping is something we’re honestly not sure about. Regardless, it’s amazing to see BC Fest continue to outdo themselves every year — which is exactly what they’ve done for 2018.
Check out the line-up: Migos, Miguel and Cardi B will be handling headliner duties while Daniel Caesar, Nipsey Hussle, H.E.R., Rich The Kid, Lightshow and more provide support. Too say this is concrete awesomeness would be a severe understatement.
