Summer concert and festival season is almost upon us, and as the announcements and lineup’s rollout, Philly’s annual Roots Picnic just got its official lineup.
Rapper and Philly native Meek Mill will make his first-ever appearance as the headliner at the annual festival, which will be held Saturday, May 30, at The Mann Center in Fairmount Park.
Summer Walker and DaBaby also are headliners while Burna Boy, Questlove, The Roots featuring Brandy, SWV, Musiq Soulchild are all also set to perform. Members of the Wu-Tang Clan including Raekwon and Ghostface will hit the stage as well as Meshell Ndegeocello.

The Roots picnic, hosted by the hip hop group, features three stages of live music, podcast recordings, gaming, art and dialogue. The picnic, which began in 2008, previously was held on Festival Pier at Penn’s Landing. This marks the second straight year it will be held at The Mann Center.
It also goes without saying that The Roots will be performing at their very own festival during a showcase called “The Roots Present Soul.” There will also be a live taping of Questlove’s “Questlove Supreme Podcast” at the festival.
Check out the full lineup below.
General admission and VIP tickets go on sale Friday at noon. Pre-sale tickets are available now. There are no assigned seats at the festival and ticket prices increase as the picnic approaches.
