Les Nubian came out next with their Fela inspired face paint, and international sound. The duo did some of their hits like "Temperature Rising", “Taboo”, "Makeda", "Demain" and covered some of their newer material before giving the stage up to Lupe Fiasco. The crowd rushed to the stage and it was clear who many of the crowd came to see!

Lupe ran out on stage and proceeded to tear it down, opening with Jay-Z’s “What Cha Got” before going into his verse from Kanye West’s “Touch The Sky”. Fiasco did his cuts “Kick, Push” and raised the roof with his powerful “American Terrorist”. Before he left, he gave one of the best performances of the day, and prepared the stage for the headliner, Jill Scott.

Jill Scott’s band came out to the roar of the crowd as everyone in attendance came closer to the stage. With a nice welcoming intro, Jill emerged from stage right, and began her set. Opening with her most recent hit, “Golden”, she went on to play her impressive list of hit songs. “Getting In The Way”, “Whatever”, and “Cross My Mind” were all performed to the sheer delight to Scott’s fans. When she went into “He Loves Me” and extended the song into a falsetto, mini opera, the crowd was floored.

As she closed her set, she was told she had more time, so Scott and the band gave us an unreleased song from her upcoming album. The hook escapes me but the song was a funky, up beat dedication to the haters out there who help keep many people from fulfilling their dreams. With that she exited the stage and brought the day to a close. As the sun set behind the mountains and the crowd began leave the field, the summer music season began with a bang.
