HIERODAY 2026 Is Bringing a Massive Hip-Hop Lineup to San Francisco
San Francisco is getting ready for a serious celebration of hip-hop culture as HIERODAY 2026 takes over The Midway SF on September 7th.
The all-ages event brings together legendary artists, DJs, rising talent, and a deep roster of Bay Area and West Coast performers for a full day built around music and community.
At the top of the bill are three names that need little introduction: Killer Mike, DJ Jazzy Jeff, and Hieroglyphics, alongside acclaimed singer-songwriter Mereba.
A Lineup Built for Hip-Hop Fans
Killer Mike brings his unmistakable energy and socially conscious approach to the stage, while DJ Jazzy Jeff represents the golden-era DJ tradition that helped shape hip-hop culture around the world.
For longtime Bay Area hip-hop fans, however, Hieroglyphics is an especially significant addition. The Oakland collective has been a foundational force in West Coast underground hip-hop, making their appearance at HIERODAY feel like a homecoming.
Mereba adds another dimension to the lineup with her soulful, genre-blending sound.
And the main stage is only the beginning.
The poster promises an enormous supporting lineup featuring AMXXR, Frak, Jay Worthy, L-Deez, Lil D Monroe, Osada 3, Reach, Back, Retain, Ruby & The Balikbayans, Shady Nate, Young Bari & Bosslife Big Spence, Young Morpheus, Zoi & The I Love Squad, Ammal, DJ Blackwoman, DJ Kurren$!, DJ Mousesetwat, Just Jay, Soulflower Rey, Fran Danboogie, Oxyxgen, Eternal, Shaman, Walton, and more.
There are also surprise guests promised throughout the event.
DJ JustJay: Keeping the Energy High for HIERODAY Weekend!
DJ JustJay will be DJing two days during HIERODAY weekend, bringing his signature energy and love for hip-hop to two special events. He’ll first be behind the decks Thursday night for the new record release party, setting the vibe for an exciting celebration of brand-new music. Then he’ll return Monday for HIERODAY, joining an incredible lineup of artists and DJs for a full day of music, culture, and community.
More Than Just a Concert
What stands out about HIERODAY is the sheer variety represented on the bill. Rather than focusing on a single generation or sound, the event brings together established legends, respected underground artists, DJs, and newer voices.
That’s part of what makes a festival like this exciting: you can show up for a headliner and walk away having discovered an artist you didn’t know before.
The event also carries a distinctly Bay Area spirit, with artists and DJs connected to the region’s long-running tradition of independent hip-hop, DJ culture, and creative collaboration.
