6th Annual Roots Picnic Announced!

In case you missed ?uestlove's broad-ass hints on twitter yesterday the dates and details for the 6th Annual Roots Picnic have been announced this morning in plain English. Let's get right to the good stuff, AKA the line-up: The Roots! (duh) Naughty By Nature (!--performing with The Roots!), Solange Knowles, Gary Clark, Jr., Grimes, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, DJ Premier, AraabMUZIK, Joey Bada$$, Gaslamp Killer, Trinidad James (I will give you a second to pick your jaw up before continuing) Hit-Boy, How To Dress Well, Robert Glasper, Sonnymoon, Jennah Bell & Lushlife.

(I will give you a second to say, Dammmnn before continuing).

As on previous years, the big day is the first Saturday in June AKA Saturday June, 1st, 2013 and as on previous years all of this madness will be squeezed onto Festival Pier at Penn's Landing, Philadelphia although unlike last year all of this madness will be squeezed into a single summer day. If that is hard to picture, don't worry--we documented last year's Picnic to provide you with a visual aid (>>>Watch 5th Annual Roots Picnic Recap video here).
