Saturday June 7th. Got it? Good. Now mark it Philadelphia, PA Festival Pier. That best be your destination if youre a supporter of all things Hip Hop and happen to find yourself within, say, 200 miles of the city of Brotherly Love. Of course, it would probably behoove you to check in with your nearest ticketing outlet this Saturday at 10AM before you make the trek. Tickets for
The Roots Picnic are going to go fast. Lineups that feature the Philly legends, along with
Gnarls Barkley,
Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings,
Santogold,
Diplo,
The Cool Kids, and even Bay Area rockers
Deerhoof (plus more to be named later) generally lead situations of the sold out variety.
