Annual Roots Picnic lineup announced
The lineup for this year’s Roots Picnic music festival in Philadelphia has been announced, and Pharrell and The Roots are headlining.
It’s the 10th annual Roots Picnic, and Roots manager Shawn Gee told Billboard, “Ten years ago this started as a concept, an idea, a conversation between me, Tarik (Black Thought), Ahmir (Questlove) and Rich (Nichols). It’s amazing that it has grown into such a valued piece of the cultural landscape of our hometown of Philadelphia.”
The event will take place at Festival Piers at Penn’s Landing on June 3, 2017.
