Cardi B Will Headline Hot 97’s Summer Jam As It Returns To New York In 2023
After 20 years in New Jersey’s Met Life Stadium, Hot 97’s Summer Jam returns to its rightful place – New York.
And what’s a return to New York without a lineup stacked with New York City’s talent?!
The annual event will go down on Sunday, June 4th, at UBS Arena. The lineup includes Ice Spice, Coi Leray, Lola Brooke, French Montana, Celebrating 50 Years of Hip Hop with The LOX, and headliner, Cardi B!
Cardi B is a Summer Jam veteran but this year, Hot 97 welcomes first-timers Ice Spice, Coi Leray, GloRilla, and Lil TJay to the stage. Following the success of her viral single “Don’t Play With It,” Brooklyn rapper Lola Brooke is returning to Summer Jam for the first time since attending as a fan in 2012.
“This means everything to me. This is a New York City artist’s dream. It’s so crazy because the first time I ever been to Summer Jam, I said I wasn’t coming back until I was on stage, and I never came back,” Lola Brooke said during an interview with Ebro In The Morning.
Each and every year, Summer Jam has a dope lineup with a list of iconic surprise guests to follow, and with 2023 being the 50th anniversary of Hip-Hop‘s conception in The Bronx, expectations are high.
Hot 97’s Summer Jam is the largest live Hip Hop music & culture celebration in America, taking over New York with some of the biggest names in Hip Hop on one stage! Many consider it the most iconic Hip Hop show in the world, and it’s BACK for its 29th year as THE platform for Hip Hop’s biggest superstars.

A new ’60s-inspired roller rink is opening at the Standard next week
Forgive us for referring to New York as the mecca of roller skating rinks moving forward, but that’s really what the city has transformed into.
Following the debut of rinks inside The Rockaway Hotel in Queens, Flipper’s at Rockefeller Center and the very highest iteration of the form in the western hemisphere by Hudson Yards, among many others, The Standard, High Line has just announced the opening of its very own Roller Rink on April 12. You know, just in case you were searching for yet another similar destination.
This particular activation by The Standard Plaza is inspired by all things 1960s (think a whole lot of white!) and it will also feature a nice seating area all around it, where you will be able to bask in the sun.
Also on the docket: weekly programs and events catered to kids and adults alike, including silent skate nights, disco parties, burlesque and drag shows, plus age-specific skating hours.
A delicious-sounding and very much on-theme rink-side menu will round out your skating experience. From “disco fries” (ranch waffle fries, white cheddar, chicken gravy) to a fried chicken dish, the Standard hot dog and nachos, your taste buds will be very happy about your trip to the area.
If you’re looking for something a bit “healthier,” opt for the cucumber herb wraps (made with rice paper, sesame and chili aioli) or a vegetarian chopped salad (tomato, egg, crispy chickpeas, corn, cucumber, black beans, almonds and zesty Italian dressing).
But the piece de resistance will undoubtedly be the wearable drink pouches that skaters will be allowed to don around their necks in order to sip on some top-notch cocktails hands-free while cruising around the rink. Now that sounds like a good time!
If you’re looking for even more roller skating rinks around town, you’re in luck: there are plenty of them in New York. Check out our list of the very best places to go to in NYC.
