The Life is Beautiful festival has just announced their lineup for 2016 that will include headliners such as J. Cole, Major Lazer and Jane’s Addiction.

Since 2013 Las Vegas, Nevada has been host to a long list of highly respected artists, such as Stevie Wonder, OutKast and TV on the Radio, as part of the Life is Beautiful festival. This year the festival will have Mumford and Sons, J. Cole, Major Lazer and Jane’s Addiction as their top billed acts with The Lumineers, G-Eazy, The Shins, Flume and Bassnectar to add to the festival’s headliners, as reported by SPIN. The official festival flyer can be seen below.

While the acts already named would be enough for most festivals, those are just the beginning for what Life is Beautiful has in store. The highly respected saxophonist Kamasi Washington will make an appearance along with Kehlani, Bloc Party and Tegan and Sara to name a few. Also making an appearance will be Banks and Steelz who are comprised of RZA of Wu-Tang and Interpol’s Paul Banks. The two have been making an album since the beginning of Life is Beautiful, 2013, and have just announced the album’s name a couple days ago, according to Pitchfork. The Festival will take place on September 23 and will run through the 25. Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased here.

Ryan Fricke: Music is my therapy, which I could not function without. I am currently finishing my senior year a Florida Gulf Coast University in Fort Myers, Florida with a Journalism major and a Creative Writing Minor. I first realized I wanted to become a Music Journalist the minute I learned that I could get paid to do the two things I love most, writing and listening to music. I have yet to decide which I am more infatuated with but for the time being I will happily house them to their stalemate. My plans after graduation are unclear but I hope to further gain experience in this profession.
