The 2022 Roots Picnic is happening on Saturday, June 4, and Sunday, June 5, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Hosted at The Mann at Fairmount Park, the two-day festival is headlined by Mary J. Blige and the Roots, and Summer Walker.
Other performers on the star-studded lineup include Jazmine Sullivan; Summer Walker; Alex Isley; Tone Stith; Robert Glasper & Bilal; Soulquarians Jam Session featuring Keyshia Cole, SWV, and Musiq Soulchild; and many more.
“After a long two years, we are excited to announce the return of The Roots Picnic to Philly with two days of music and culture at the Mann at Fairmount Park,” said Shawn Gee, president of Live Nation Urban, The Roots manager, and co-founder of the event.
“This year, Black Thought, Questlove and I attempted to curate a lineup that broke through the genre barriers that often separate us in black culture.”
