The lineup for Pharrell Williams’ upcoming music festival ‘Something in the Water’ is in. The inaugural edition of Pharrell’s festival will see performances of some of the most prominent rap acts of today including Travis Scott, Migos, and Pusha T. The event will also feature other high-profile names including Missy Elliott, Maggie Rogers, Diplo, Janelle Monae, Rosalía, SZA and many more.

Something in the Water is scheduled to take place in Pharrell Williams’ hometown of Virginia Beach from April 26th to April 28th. Tickets for the festival will be available on March 8th. Check out the teaser and full lineup below.

“Allen Iverson. Missy Elliott. Dave Matthews Band. Ella Fitzgerald. Virginia has been home to some of the most gifted artists, athletes, and scientists to ever live. And it makes sense — the people of Virginia are one-of-a-kind: uniquely gritty, bold, and brilliant,” said Pharrell in the statement. “For the first time, we are harnessing that energy, bringing the great minds of our time and the biggest brands in the world to this great place, and letting the inspiration flow and well-deserved oportunities unfold. Virginia needs this right now and the world will see what we Virginians have known all along: there really is Something in the Water.”

Besides the live shows, Something in the Water will also see numerous other different event taking place during the festival including art performances and movie screenings. This will include a screening of Samuel “Blitz” Bazawule’s movie The Burial of Kojo as well as post-screening conversations with this Ghanaian-American hip-hop artist and filmmaker.
