The Festival
The Roots — the Philly natives also known as the Legendary Roots Crew — have gathered a diverse lineup of talent for this second annual music festival, including: TV on the Radio, The Black Keys, Santigold, Kid Cudi, Asher Roth and a whole lot more.
Of course, The Roots couldn't just throw a music festival with their favorite acts and not grace the stage. The hometown heroes will be performing two sets of their unique, high-energy live sound.
As if that weren't enough, Public Enemy will make the trip to Philly to perform their classic album It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back, backed by Antibalas and The Roots.
Live music will be playing from two stages during this all-day event.
