Written by: Alec Baumrind (@alecbaumrind)

Numbers Fest went all out this year for the 16th edition of the festival, which is presented by Prime Social Group. The festival is located in Athens, Ohio at The Venue of Athens and runs from 4/20-4/21. If you're in Ohio, or any state around Ohio, this one might be worth the trip. Keep reading to find out more about the lineup and where to get tickets. 

With so many big, buzzing artists, the lineup for this festival is promising for a weekend full of good talent and fun. While Friday (4/20) will be fun, the main day for the festival is on Saturday (4/21). Lets take a closer look at the talent the lineup has to offer and get into some of our favorites that made it on the bill. 

• Maxo Kream

Maxo Kream has been hot on the scene for a minute now. The Houston rapper has made waves in the scene and ultimately started getting the most buzz after he dropped his Maxo 187 tape in early 2015. Another hit that really broke Maxo Kream was Playboi Carti's track "Fetti", which featured Maxo and Da$h. Most recently he dropped his debut album "Punken" early this year and is currently on tour for the album. Maxo's set will most definitely be wild so make sure to pull up to his performance early!

• YBN Nahmir

YBN Nahmir has had an interesting past year. After blowing up off of his hit single "Rubbin' Off The Paint", YBN Nahmir has seen his fanbase grow exponentially after the video grabbed a total of 100,000,000+ views. Since then, he has also gone viral with "Bounce Out With That" in which the video, directed by Cole Bennett, grabbed a total of 65,000,000+ views. The future is looking promising for YBN Nahmir, as he's only 18 and has a whole career ahead of him and hopefully a debut album coming soon. You wont want to miss this set at #Fest.  

• MadeinTYO

MadeinTYO has definitely made a name for himself in the past few years since blowing up off of his hit "Uber Everywhere". The song went viral and even got a remix from Travis Scott. Since then, he's made it onto the 2017 XXL Freshman List, and has continued to grow his fanbase. He has also started his own record label named Private Club Records which is home to artists like 24hrs and producer K Swisha. His most recent project, Trues World, featured hits like Too Quick and Cashing Out, and production from FKi 1st and Nard & B. MadeinTYO also performed at Lollapalooza last year and based on that performance, his set at Number Fest is definitely one you will want to be in attendance for. 

• Trippie Redd

The sky is the limit for Trippie Redd right now. The way Trippie is blowing up is like no other. He broke through with his smash hit "Love Scars" and then again with "Rack City/Love Scars 2". Since then he has dropped his latest project "A Love Letter To You" in mid-2017 which featured work from Pierre Bourne, DJ Flipp, Unotheactivist, Lil Tracy, Famous Dex, and more. His most recent track that went viral was Dark Knight Dummo featuring Travis Scott, in which the video pulled in just about 25,000,000 views. He just recently returned from tour with G-Eazy which hopefully means there will be new music on the way, specifically a debut album. One thing thats for certain is that his set at Number Fest will not be one to miss. This will also be a very crowded set, so make sure to get there early.

• Lil Uzi Vert

There's not much that needs to be said about Uzi. You know the deal with any Lil Uzi Vert show, its a movie. Make sure to pull up on this set early so you don't miss out on one of the biggest acts at the whole festival.
