The Meadows Music & Arts Festival was an annual music festival held at Citi Field in Queens, New York City.[1] The festival was produced by Founders Entertainment, which also produces the Governors Ball Music Festival.[2] The inaugural festival, held on October 1–2, 2016, was headlined by several artists, including: Kanye West, J. Cole, Kygo, and Chance the Rapper. The festival boasted 42 artists and four stages: Linden Blvd., Queens Blvd., Shea, and The Meadows.[3] The festival was inspired by the cancellation of Kanye West's set during the Sunday of the 2016 Governors Ball Music Festival due to heavy rains.[4] It was announced on March 20, 2017 that the festival would return September 15–17, 2017. On May 8, 2017, the official lineup was announced, featuring headliners Jay-Z, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Gorillaz.
