Editor’s Note (May 25): Sean “Diddy” Combs is no longer part of Roots Picnic. Usher is now co-headliner. 

The annual Roots Picnic returns to The Mann at Fairmount Park in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, from June 3-4.

The Roots and Live Nation Urban unveiled the star-studded lineup featuring headliners Ms. Lauryn Hill and Sean “Diddy” Combs. Rapper Lil Uzi Vert and award-winning comedian Dave Chappelle are top on the bill.

Ms. Lauryn Hill will treat attendees to a special 25th-anniversary set of The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill. She will play the award-winning album live in its entirety.

Diddy will hit the stage for the first time at a Roots Picnic event. The Roots will join him.

He could ask Bryson Tiller and PARTYNEXTDOOR to join his set, as both acts appear on his Love Records singles, “Gotta Move On” and “Sex In The Porsche,” respectively.
