The Roots are hitting the road this summer, teaming up with the iconic Arrested Development and the smooth vibes of Digable Planets. They’re set to light up the stage at the first-ever Los Angeles edition of the Roots Picnic. This event promises to be a hip-hop lover’s dream, aptly named “Hip-Hop Is the Love of My Life.”
Before this epic tour kicks off, The Roots have a busy schedule. They’re not just lounging around! They’ve got concerts, festival gigs, and, of course, their very own Roots Picnic in Philadelphia. Early June is when it all goes down, featuring legends like André 3000, Jill Scott, and Lil Wayne. Imagine that – Lil Wayne, backed by The Roots, in a New Orleans-themed bash. Now, that’s something you don’t see every day.

And then, the tour. It starts with a bang in Houston, Texas, in August. From there, it’s a whirlwind two weeks that wraps up in Boston, Massachusetts. The lineup? It’s a mix of cities and vibes, from the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles to the historic Crystal Palace Bowl in London. They’re even hitting up Berlin’s Uber Eats Music Hall, which, let’s be honest, sounds deliciously intriguing.
The tour’s not just about the big names, though. It’s a celebration of hip-hop, with Arrested Development and Digable Planets bringing their unique flavors to the mix. Each stop promises something a bit different, a new way to experience the music that’s shaped a generation.
So, there you have it. The Roots, Arrested Development, and Digable Planets are about to embark on a summer adventure. From Philly to Boston, London to Berlin, it’s going to be one for the books. Hip-hop, after all, is the love of our lives.
