The fourth-year festival announced its lineup Tuesday, filling it not only with big-time indie pop icons, but also hip hop’s burgeoning star Kendrick Lamar, Beyoncé’s younger sister Solange and angsty keyboardist Youth Lagoon.

Artists like Holy Ghost!, Gary Clark Jr. and Lindsey Stirling will also perform.

Tickets – $75 for lawn and $95 for pavilion and pit – for the May 11 festival go on sale Friday at 10 a.m. through Ticketfly. Followers of the @sweetgreen Instagram account can snag tickets Wednesday.

The festival will also pack in local foodie favorites like vendors Toki Underground and 13th Street Meats.

Held in Columbia, Md. and sponsored by the local salad chain Sweetgreen, the festival has gained steam over the past few years. Last year, big acts like Kid Cudi, the Shins and Avicii performed.
