New York’s Panorama Festival has shared its 2018 lineup, and it’s starting to feel like the world is listening to what we’ve preached for years. This year’s edition is led by legendary diva Janet Jackson, along with festival mainstays The Weeknd and The Killers, and 2017 favorites SZA, Migos, and The War on Drugs. But you don’t have to squint your eyes to see that Latinos are everywhere.

The three-day event, taking place on Randall’s Island Park on July 27-29, will feature performances by superstar (and Grammy-snubbed) Cardi B, who will be joined by punk outfit Downtown Boys and LA’s Chicano Batman.  The Soulection crew are also on the list, and so is up-and-coming R&B vedette Sabrina Claudio. Plus, it seems like the event promotion giant Goldenvoice has turned its attention to Brooklyn’s club underground, since Riobamba and DJ Python are also set to play. Given Coachella’s recent lineup announcement, which features the most Latino artists that have ever played the massive fest, it seems like U.S. festival organizers might finally be catching up with Latino talent this year, proving we’re not just a trend.

Panorama takes place on July 27-29, 2018. Tickets go on sale on Friday at 10 a.m. EST here. Peep the complete lineup below.
