D’Angelo, Lenny Kravitz and Meek Mill to Perform at 2025 Roots Picnic
Folks from across the Black music continuum will take the stage in Philadelphia this spring.
The official lineup for the Roots Picnic has been announced and it features a wide range of hip-hop, R&B, rock and pop set to hit the stage as the big show returns to The Mann in Fairmount Park in Philadelphia on May 31 and June 1. Live Nation announced the lineup on Monday, which features D’Angelo, Lenny Kravitz, Latto, GloRilla, Funk Flex, Kaytranada and Philly’s own Meek Mill, among others.
Last year’s lineup featured André 3000 performing his Grammy-nominated jazz album New Blue Sun, country star Shaboozey and Roots Picnic newbie Sexyy Red.
This year, Meek Mill is making his first appearance at the Roots Picnic after an expected performance in 2020 was derailed by the COVID 19 pandemic.
This year's show is especially diverse. The Roots’ Questlove also posted the official lineup on Instagram. The lineup also includes Tems, Miguel and the day party lineup, which features artists performing in tribute sets to house (Cece Peniston, Crystal Waters), go-go (The Backyard Band featuring Cee-Lo Green) and R&B/soul. There will also be themed showcases like the Dear Summer Festival, Kirk Franklin’s Sunday School w/ DJ Mal-Ski and Philly Black Pride.
The concerts will also feature a number of anniversary celebrations: trap legend Jeezy will be on hand to commemorate 20 years of his multiplatinum debut Let’s Get It: Thug Motivation 101; soul crooner Musiq Soulchild is paying tribute to his first album Aijuswanaseing; and The Roots themselves will be celebrating 30 years of their major label debut, Do You Want More?!!!??!
Additionally, an official dance party has been added to the festivities, featuring Trap Karaoke and Chill Vibes featuring DJ Aktive.
Pre-sale tickets are available starting at 10 a.m. today through Friday, February 20, with general tickets going on sale beginning Friday, February 21 at 10 a.m.From Your Site Articles
