If there's one person responsible for popularizing UK drill in the United States, it's none other than Central Cee. You likely know his name. If you don't, then you definitely know his music. The Londonite, like many other artists these days, has TikTok to thank for their rise to stardom, but he's remained consistent and relevant in a post-pandemic world. Citing only American rappers as his main influences growing up, such as J. Cole and Kendrick Lamar, they can be heard in both Cench's production and lyrics, but still keep the blueprints very much British.

Performing: Friday
Stage Prediction: Sahara
For Fans of: Dave, Lil Baby, Digga D
Rating: ★★★

sombr

Origin: New York, New York, USA
Genre / Subgenres: Rock / Indie Rock, Pop rock

sombr is what I would call a "social media artist." Whether that term is derogatory or not is up to you, but that's just the vibe I get when listening to his music. I know Zoomers go crazy for this man, and I see the appeal. I'll admit that there are a couple of hits in the catalog, but the majority is too simplistic and not entirely for me.

Performing: Saturday
Stage Prediction: Outdoor Theatre
For Fans of: Gracie Abrams, Gigi Perez, Conan Gray
Rating: ★★
Ratings are on a 5-star scale
