For a festival whose biggest change is an augmented EDM program, it’s Life is Beautiful’s hip-hop bookings that are the most noteworthy.

Chicago MC Chance the Rapper and LA indie rapper Ab-Soul now complement the initial LIB hip-hop slate that includes critic-fave Run the Jewels, headliner Kendrick Lamar, Minneapolis indie stalwarts Atmosphere and the intriguing pairing of Wu Tang Clan’s Ghostface Killah and hip-hop/jazz trio BadBadNotGood.

Oh yeah, and Snoop Dogg has also joined the bill.

So have exuberant house DJ and former Aeroplane member The Magician, soulful (and buzzing) singer-songwriter Alessia Cara and Australian 64-bit/breakbeat producer/DJ Wave Racer, in what appears to be this year’s version of LIB’s traditional post-lineup-reveal infusion to the musical roster.

Dining, art and speaking participants will be announced at later dates. For more information, visit lifeisbeautiful.com.
