NYC and the surrounding areas were met with some disastrous weather today, forcing the Governors Ball festival to cancel the entire day. HOT 97's Summer Jam, taking place just outside of the city at Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ, also had to make some cancellations, deciding to call off the Festival Stage, which would've seen performances by Chance the Rapper, Desiigner, and more. But just now, the music has begun on the Stadium Stage, and for now, there's still plenty to look forward to. Tune in and watch the live stream below.
Here's the original Stadium Stage lineup, with the headliners listed at the top:
Terror Squad Reunion
G.O.O.D. Music w/ Pusha T & Big Sean
DJ Khaled & Friends
A$AP Rocky & A$AP Ferg
Bryson Tiller
Travi$ Scott
Tinashe
Kid Ink
Due to the late start time, it's expected that at least a couple of the above acts (those toward the bottom of the list) will but cut.
As usual, there were likely be a number of surprise appearances not listed on the original bill. Kanye West has officially been spotted on the festival grounds, and with the cancellation of his festival-closing Governors Ball set, it's likely that he'll join his GOOD Music labelmates a bit later on, hopefully performing a nearly complete rendition of "Champions." Other rumored surprise guests include Drake -- perhaps to join Khaled -- and Jay Z, who has new records out with Pusha T and the Terror Squad.
