Annual Roots Picnic lineup announced

The lineup for this year’s Roots Picnic music festival in Philadelphia has been announced, and Pharrell and The Roots are headlining. 

It’s the 10th annual Roots Picnic, and Roots manager Shawn Gee told Billboard, “Ten years ago this started as a concept, an idea, a conversation between me, Tarik (Black Thought), Ahmir (Questlove) and Rich (Nichols).
