The Roots Announce Roots Picnic 2017 Lineup

Hip-hop icons The Roots will bring their annual Roots Picnic back to Philadelphia’s Festival Pier at Penn’s Landing for its 10th installment on Saturday, June 3. Today, The Roots have revealed the lineup for this year’s Roots Picnic.

The eclectic lineup will see The Roots perform a co-headlining set with Pharrell. Lil Wayne, Solange, 21 Savage, Kimbra and Gilles Peterson are also among the acts set to play Roots Picnic ’17. Check out the entire lineup below.

“Ten years ago this started as a concept, an idea, a conversation between me, Tarik (Black Thought), Ahmir (Questlove) and Rich (Nichols),” says Shawn Gee, Roots longtime manager and partner in Maverick Management. “It’s amazing that it has grown into such a valued piece of the cultural landscape of our hometown of Philadelphia. We were blessed to expand the Picnic to NYC last year, and the brand will continue to grow and evolve, but Philly will ALWAYS be the home, the birthplace of the Roots Picnic. We are super excited to bring a packed lineup to celebrate our 10th anniversary, and as always there will be plenty of surprises and special guests.”

Tickets for Roots Picnic ’17 are on sale now via Ticketmaster.
