The lineup also includes Travis Scott, who will play Sunday on the first weekend and Saturday on the second weekend. Odesza will play the second big stage opposite McCartney both Fridays, while Arctic Monkeys will co-headline against Childish Gambino both Sundays. 

Camila Cabello and Shawn Mendes will each make an appearance; Cabello will perform during the first Sunday, while Mendes will perform during the second. 

Childish Gambino fans will want to catch the musician at the festival, as his friend, Young Thug, claimed that he will be retiring from music soon.

The festival posted the full lineup on Twitter and its website.
