Kendrick Lamar and A$AP Rocky among impressive list of Longitude headliners

God only knows what the Covid situation will be by July, but if the deity is a hip-hop fan, they're sure to grant a temporary reprieve for Longitude in Dublin in July.

The three-day series of concerts at Marlay Park (July 2-4) is the first of the big summer events to announce its lineup, and while it includes plenty of Longitude returnees, it is unlikely to be surpassed next year in terms of popular appeal.

Headliners across the three nights include Kendrick Lamar (Friday), Tyler The Creator (Saturday), and A$AP Rocky (Sunday), while the lower part of the bill also has a decent mix of quality, chart-power, and the all-important new metric of Tiktok take-up.
