The annual Roots Picnic gets bigger every year and the trend continues for the 8th edition this time as The Roots, A$AP Rocky, The Weeknd, Phantogram and Erykah Badu have been enlisted as the headliners.
It will consist of three stages and 18 artists and take place on Saturday, May 30 at Philadelphia’s Festival Pier. Tickets for the event will go on sale March 13 at 12 PM.
Questlove tells Billboard:
“I think this is one of our most diverse lineups to date. I am looking forward to seeing the discovery process. That is what excites me each year. Seeing someone who bought a ticket for one act, discover the music of an unexpected artist. I’m sure there will be some A$AP Rocky fans that will dig Hiatus Kaiyote or some Weeknd fans that will discover Chronixx and vice versa.”
