Was it considered a rock festival?

I only heard it described as a 'music festival', and I don't think any of the music groups that were supposed to attend that I heard about were rock bands.

EDM & MCs / Hip Hop ... I can see one rock act on the lineup :

Quoting the ever reliable wikipedia :

The final advertised lineup was for 33 artists, including Pusha T, Tyga, Desiigner, Blink-182, Major Lazer, Disclosure, Migos, Rae Sremmurd, Kaytranada, Lil Yachty, Matoma, Klingande, Skepta, Claptone, Le Youth, Tensnake, Blond:ish, and Lee Burridge. Archive.org lineup

In the days leading up to the festival, all of the aforementioned acts pulled out, with Major Lazer never confirming their attendance despite being advertised

Yeah it was barely even a music festival, nevermind a specific genre.
