Now in its 13th year, the Roots Picnic has carved out a niche for itself thanks its unique and well-curated lineups.

Personally, I am excited that Meek Mill will grace the Roots Picnic stage this year, as this is the only major event in our hometown that he hasn\u2019t played yet. We are also excited to be back at the Mann Center in Fairmount Park and looking forward to another great year.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Tickets go on sale<\/a> on Friday at noon.<\/span><\/p>\n
