Since its inception, Power 105.1's annual Powerhouse music celebration has brought some of hip-hop's biggest names to its stage and this year's lineup is no different. Power 105.1 hosts Charlamagne Tha God, DJ Envy and Angela Yee announced the elite roster for Powerhouse 2017 on Monday (Aug. 28), with rap upstarts and veterans alike set to takeover the Barclays Center stage. 

The annual music event will take over the Barclays Center for the fifth consecutive year and will take place on Oct. 26. Aside from The Weeknd, this year's bill lacks a strong R&B presence and leans heavily on rap guests as French Montana, Migos, Cardi B and Lil Uzi Vert will bring their summer anthems to the Brooklyn venue. DJ Envy will deliver his own "DJ Envy and Friends" set, possibly opening his set to Fetty Wap, who appeared on the DJ's newest single "Text Ur Number."

Last year's Powerhouse performers included Bryson Tiller, Young M.A, Tory Lanez and Usher, who brought out Young Thug and Lil Jon during his headlining set.

Tickets for Power 105.1's Powerhouse 2017 will go on sale on Thursday (Aug. 31) at 10 am.
