Last held in 2019, Summer Sonic has suspended its live editions due to COVID-19. In 2020, it aired archival footage from select sets from previous festivals. The traditionally rock festival has since expanded its curation to various genres. Past hip hop acts who performed at Summer Sonic include Nas, Pharrell Williams, Chance the Rapper, BROCKHAMPTON, The Black Eyed Peas, and M.I.A., among others.
