Summer Smash 2023 feat. Kid Cudi, Future, Playboi Carti

The world’s largest independent hip-hop festival the Lyrical Lemonade Summer Smash’s lineup is here debuting one of its best yet.

Marking its fifth year, it was announced last month the Chicago-based festival would be moving from Douglass Park to a new home in SeatGeek Stadium. 

This year’s lineup features an all-star cast both from Chicago and all around the world. One of our favorite parts about the Summer Smash is the way they spotlight local talent, this year featuring the likes of Nina Tech, Valee, Komla and Ausar just to name a few.

The headliners are set to be Kid Cudi, Future and Playboi Carti alongside special guests $uicideBoy$, Lil Uzi Vert and “a very special Chicago guest.”

The fest is set at its usually scheduled time in late June this year from June 23-June 25.

Us at Pursuit of Dopeness will be in attendance and cannot wait to see all this incredible talent.

All further information regarding the lineup and more will be available here.
