Billboard Hot 100 Music Festival

I love this festival so much. The lineups are great every year. This was my second year going, and my only regret was not going all 3 years running! I had pit tickets and it was great knowing I had a decent spot at the main stage even if I went to one of the side stages. I went early both days to ensure good spot and on day 1, I went to the beach stage first and I was front and center with my friends, as well as new friends I made and still talk to today. Matt Medved's set was a little screwy, but that was ok. Justin Caruso, Young bombs and Kodie Shane killed it, and Blackbear was so unreal; he climbed onto the barricade and I was so close I was literally touching him. After that I was pretty close for Gucci Mane and Demi Lovato, and I was nearly front for Zedd. They were all amazing, and right after, I went to see Rick Ro$$ at the sun stage with my friends. After, I stayed in stadium for Big Sean with my friends who didn't have pit but it was still fun. Next day, I stayed in the pit front and center all day because I'm a huge Marshmello fan. This was my 3rd time seeing him, first time being at this festival last year! Ayo & Too came face to face and same as Major Lazer, and Echosmith DJ Khaled, and Camila Cabello were all great too. My absolute highlights were being put on Marshmello's Instagram story as well as his set in general, catching a sweat rag from Diplo of Major Lazer, saying hey to Bella Thorne, Camila singing unreleased music, Helping hold onto Blackbear's ankle, J Balvin's surprise appearance with Major Laser, DJ Khaled bring Asahd on stage, and just having a great time with my friends. I only wish I was able to see everybody because there was so many great acts I had to miss being at other stages. To sum it up, great experience, amazing lineup(as always, keep it up), talked to some of security, they were awesome and really cool, only complaint is at certain points they would yell about people getting on shoulders and things like that. To anybody thinking of going, do. Even if you get the cheapest seats for the main stage, there is still multiple other stages that are totally general admission and you will have fun.

Concert was awesome & had a blast dancing along at the show. Barely sat on my seat. Was so hyped up by the music

Talent was great. Security did not allow any moshing, crowd surfing, or even sitting on shoulders. Music itself was fine but no rave experience, no festival fun. Tickets pricey when compared to other festivals. Lineup uneven, Sunday much stronger than Saturday; long wait times between sets. Will pass next year.

Great concert only problem should be more than one entrance to all stages

Was a very good time security was on point and everything went smoothly.

Concert needs an age limit. Security treated everyone like children when most of us were adults trying to enjoy ourselves. One woman screamed in front of a friends face because she sat down near a fence. Security ruined the experience as well as unchaperoned young teens.

Me and my friend went later on to see J. Cole and we bought tickets there, and I love that it was general admission, not arranged seats. It's also great that everyone actually comes on on time. It was raining when J Cole came on, but we're glad we stayed, because he totally killed it. He actually talked to the crowd and his whole vibe kept everyone hyped. I was especially hyped during tale of 2 cities. He faked us out and pretended he was over, then came back even stronger! After he actually finished, I convinced my friend to stay for Calvin Harris since he's one of my favorite dj's, and at this point tons of people were leaving, so we quickly got down to the floor level, and got seats right behind the pit, which was amazing considering how cheap our tickets were, and it stopped raining when Calvin came on, and damn did I make my friend glad he stayed! Everyone was jumping and waving hands in the air the whole time! The security also did a great job. I'll no doubt get a pass for both days next year!

Great bands .. Good music only complaint is why the great fireworks display as everyone is leaving for their cars.. ?

This show was amazing !! Martin Garrix killed it on Saturday ! And Ariana Grande performed like the queen she is. Incredible !!! On Sunday timeflies was amazing as always ! I've seen them in concert three times before and they are always great ! Jcole was incredible ! Even though it was raining we didn't care because his perform was dope ! And as for Calvin Harris I don't think I have ever seen something as sick as he was ! He was beyond amazing. Overall we have an incredible time !

I absolutely loved j. Cole's performance. He's one of the very few artists with lyrics that have substance. Not only is he a great lyricist but he's an awesome performer!!! Funk flex and time flies really set up the alleyoop and J. Cole dunked it!

The concert was absolutely amazing! It was fun going to all 3 stages and dancing to all the great music. I would love to do this again next year.

It was incredible! I highly recommend it! Performers were great and crowd was mostly friendly. Securty did a great job managing crowds. We went both days from 4pm it was a once in a lifetime experience! Martin Garrix, Marshwello, Major Lazet, Ariana Grande, funk master flex and Fetty all amazing! Venue is a dream on the beach! Long Island college kids very mannerly and friendly! Can't wait for next year!!

Compared to last year's crowded, energetic festival, this year's fell short in so many ways. Maybe it was the weather, maybe it was the lineup - whatever the factor(s), the event failed to match my expectations set by last year's incredible weekend. The crowd was also different - much younger, much more scantily dressed. In fact, I would say the event revolved more around teenie boppers mingling than the actual music. The festival redeemed itself only past 8pm, with the headliners rocking the stage both nights. Recommendation? Time travel to teenage years, wear the least amount of clothing deemed socially acceptable (though this weekend's demonstration was certainly not acceptable), and head over to the party.

We had a great time. Jones beach is agreat venue. I want to go again, i hope they do this again

Unforgettable! So many amazing artists in one area, definitely would love to go again.

If you're over the age of 18 this event is not for you. I'm in my late 20s and I felt too old to be here. You can only drink in designated areas where you can't even watch any of the performances and 90% of the crowd were teenagers.

Was the best day ever !!! Loved seeing all the singers. Fun day alot of giveaways !!

Awesome event!! Acts from 6:00 on were the best got there early for pit standing seating and close seats... If u came later it was sold out!! Wish there were better bands playing from 1-6:00 but the best were at night and had an awesome time!!! Would def come back next yr or at a diff venue

i got to the venue late on day 2. I saw Nikki, Skrillex and Justin Bieber. Nikki was great. Justin and Skrillex put on an excellent show. If they are there again next year I will definitely go again love the show.

Awesome concert! Great artists, best light show ever!
