We're less than two months removed from Hot 97's annual Summer Jam festival, with Summer Jam 2018 marking the event's 25th anniversary. As usual, it'll take place at the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

Fortunately for us, what has previously been a mystery—the lineup of the main stadium and festival stages on June 10—has just been revealed by the iconic New York radio station. This year's Summer Jam will see Kendrick Lamar, Lil Wayne, Swizz Beatz, ASAP Ferg, Tory Lanez, Remy Ma, A Boogie with da Hoodie, Rich The Kid, Hood Celebrityy, and Megan Ryte and friends taking over stadium stage duties.

In terms of the festival stage, fans will get to see Snoopy Dinero, Famous Dex, Jay Critch, Don Q, and others do their thing in front of massive crowd of attendees. All in all, this group of artists is sure to guarantee a pretty great day for hip-hop fans on the east coast. During the live announcement, Peter Rosenberg promised he would "not ruin Summer Jam this year," jokingly referring to Nicki Minaj's refusal to perform in 2012.

There have been some truly memorable moments in Summer Jam history, as well as some legendary performances in hip-hop history, with this year likely to add a few more.

Pre-sale tickets will go on sale at 10 a.m. EST tomorrow, April 17.
