After more than a month of built-up buzz on Facebook and Twitter, University Union unveiled the Juice Jam 2014 lineup tonight.
Dillon Francis, Schoolboy Q, 3LAU and Tinashe will take the main stage at Skytop Field on Sept. 7, while Ace Hood, Broods and MisterWives will play the indie stage throughout the day.
Francis, an electronic musician and DJ, has frequented the Westcott Theater in recent years, while rapper Schoolboy Q joined A$AP Rocky for an April 2012 concert in Goldstein Auditorium sponsored by the National Pan-Hellenic Council.
Fresh-faced house producer 3LAU has toured internationally with trance juggernaut Tiesto, while 21-year-old R&B singer-songwriter Tinashe has a debut LP slated for a September release.
More adventurous Juice Jammers can indulge in the grand hip-hop of Ace Hood, the indie-electro of duo Broods and the exuberant pop of MisterWives.
This year's Juice Jam marks the 10-year anniversary of the annual school-year-opening concert event, which expanded to a mini-music festival last year with Kendrick Lamar and Nicky Romero as headliners.
To celebrate, UU tweeted earlier that the 2014 show would feature more artists than ever before and be one of the "juiciest" sets yet. With a hot EDM star, a well-known rapper and representatives from other popular genres, it certainly appears they've lived up to their word.
And if this tweet is any indication, there may be more excitement in the coming days. Stay tuned.
