Big Gig fans eager to see what rap act would take Summerfest's biggest stage in 2019 need not wait any longer, as the world's largest music festival announced Lil Wayne, Snoop Dogg and ScHoolboy Q will take the stage on Sunday, July 7.

While some predictions saw options like Post Malone or Nicki Minaj filling the festival's hip-hop headliner spot (though there is still one slot remaining), the Big Gig instead tossed a bit of a curveball, assembling this unexpected and exclusive all-star collaboration – the only joint concert featuring these three artists in the country. 

A five-time Grammy winner – most recently in 2017, sharing Best Rap Performance with Chance the Rapper and 2 Chainz for "No Problem" – rap rock star Lil Wayne began his breakout in 2004 with the first entry in his famed "Tha Carter" series. His rise continued into 2007 with the release of "Tha Carter III," his most successful album which featured the monster hits like "Lollipop" and "A Milli," and scored the rapper four Grammy wins as well as an Album of the Year nomination. He's kept a constant place at the top of the rap world since then, continuing to pump out hits, releasing "Tha Carter V" last September and surpassing Elvis as the male musician with the most Billboard Hot 100 entries with 109.

Most importantly, however, Lil Wayne is a notable Green Bay Packers fan who also dropped a Giannis reference into his 2018 song "Big Bad Wolf."

Another one of the most iconic faces and voices in rap, Snoop Dogg got his start during the '90s, getting discovered by Dr. Dre and releasing his debut "Doggystyle" to massive fandom, featuring his giant hits "Gin & Juice" and "What's My Name?" Since then, Snoop Dogg's released more than a dozen albums with a pile of hits including "Drop It Like It's Hot" and "Young, Wild & Free"; scored 17 Grammy nominations, the second most nominations without a win in the industry award's history; became a star on screens both big and small, including right now in theaters with the Matthew McConaughey comedy "The Beach Bum"; and delightfully became besties with Martha Stewart. He released his most recent album, "Bible of Love," in March of 2018.

Rounding out the Summerfest rap showcase is fellow West Coast rapper ScHoolboy Q, who grew into a rap favorite about a decade ago with his independent releases "Setbacks" and "Habits & Contradictions." He then released his big studio debut "Oxymoron" in 2014, which scored him a Grammy nomination for Best Rap Album the following year. (His follow-up, "Blank Face LP," would also land a nomination in that category two years later.) The rapper last played the Big Gig in 2015 when he opened for fellow Interscope artist and Black Hippy member Kendrick Lamar.
