Solange Knowles, sister of Beyonce Knowles, has made a name for herself as a singer, model and actress. Solange recently played Coachella music festival and will soon be embarking on her "A Seat at The Table" tour in support of her third studio album.

Big Boi, half of the powerhouse duo Outkast, was supposed to headline Hopscotch in 2013, but had to cancel due to unforeseen circumstances. A-Trak and Holy Ghost! headlined on the City Plaza stage that night instead, with opening act Future Islands.
