The Rootshave tapped Broad Citys Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer to share the lineup for this years stacked Roots Picnic in a hilarious video which finds the pair plotting a packed festival itinerary.
The 9th annual festival will featureheadlining sets from Usher (backed by the Roots), Future and Leon Bridges. Also slated to perform during the day-long event:Blood Orange, Swizz Beatz, DMX, Kehlani, Kaytranada, Ibeyi, Migos, Jidenna, Metro Boomin, Lil Dicky, Anderson .Paak, Willow Smith, Lolawolf, Everyday People featuring DJ Moma, Paris Monster, Rich Medina, Tish Hyman, Lil Uzi Vert and Gogo Morrow.
In the announcement video, Abbi breathlessly maps out the perfect Picnic plan and tries to notlet Ilanas DMX references or salacious asides about Lolawolfs Zo Kravitz or Blood Oranges Dev Hynes distract her. Abbis chaotic plan ends up taking the shape of Ben Franklins head, but both she and Ilana are left wondering who the accidental portrait looks like. Someone smart, Abbi suggests.
The Roots Picnic will take place June 4th at the Festival Pier in Philadelphia. Tickets are scheduled to go on sale Friday at 12 p.m. ET via the festivals website.
