It’s that time of the year again, Okay people: the 8th annual Roots Picnic, takes place on Saturday May 30th at Philadelphia’s Festival Pier. And this year’s lineup is about as epic as ever. The festival’s main stage is being anchored by Miss Erykah Badu, and will also showcase a rare Philly appearance from The Weeknd; head of NYC rap mob, A$AP Rocky, and sync license darlings Phantogram.
The day will also see performances from Aussie soul pioneers Hiatus Kaiyote; Jamaican flag bearer Chronixx; and the legendary leader of all things futurefunk,
Afrika Bambaataa.
Rounding out this year’s Picnic roster: the talents of Raury, Bishop Nehru, Hudson Mohawke, Rae Sremmurd, King Britt, DJ Mustard, DJ Windows 98, Marc E. Bassy, Moses Sumney, Brianna Cash and Donn T. The festival has also added a third stage to the event, even further allowing a full day of musical greatness for every cut of fan.
Early bird tickets go on presale this Thursday from Noon ET to midnight for a limited quantity of $45 plus fees via Ticketmaster. So come one, come all. Join us at Philly’s Festival Pier in Penn’s Landing
for the 2015 Roots Picnic.

I just don't get the appeal of slow speed limits, high gas prices, and tolls.
But I'm from Texas

12751123, Megabus, I've only road it once but it was tight and funky.
Posted by ThisIs_ATruthThang, Fri Mar-13-15 12:57 PM
I had to use the bathroom, but you think I got up to use it??? Hell no! lol
And I like being able to leave when I want. And to be able to get around to different spots. I get what you're saying but I feel like renting a car would be cheaper for the day and I wouldn't have to cab it if I wanted to go somewhere else.
|
12751210, And I understand ALL of that. I do. But if you going to a full day concert
Posted by MEAT, Fri Mar-13-15 01:43 PM
That starts early and ends late. Where are you really going? Plus parking at that event is hell.

It's not a far drive at all, but I hated parking last year and I was way too tired to drive back though I did.

Only had to pay tax...no ticketmaster fees...
I normally try to get the box seating...but they aren't doing it this year for individuals. Gotta have a season box seat which I dont have. They might sell it to me but it's doubtful.
|
12751595, You think they have sand this season?
Posted by MEAT, Fri Mar-13-15 08:10 PM
It was pavement two years ago, then sand last year.
|
12751936, I don't know. Last year was the first with sand since 2011
