Roots Picnic in Philadelphia

Forget barbecues – the Roots Picnic is the real start of summer in Philly. Dubbed “hip-hop’s greatest festival” by Rolling Stone, this two-day music and culture event is curated and hosted by The Roots and returns to the Mann Center in West Fairmount Park on 31 May and 1 June 2025. This year’s lineup is stacked: Maxwell, Meek Mill, Lenny Kravitz, GloRilla, Tems, Latto, Miguel, Kaytranada, Jeezy, and more. Rain or shine, it’s set to be a weekend to remember.
