The Roots Picnic Changes Venues and Announces Its 2019 Lineup!
After more than a decade at Penn’s Landing, The Roots Picnic has moved on to a new venue. That’s right the long standing tradition of heading to the riverfront in June is about to change. Now festival goers will be headed to the more wooded area of Fairmount Park. The Mann Center for Performing Arts will lay host to The 2019 Roots Picnic.
Last year many attendees were upset about the weather issues which caused many performances to be delayed and canceled. Lil Uzi who was last year’s headliner did perform as scheduled and killed the stage.
The line-up promoted for the 2018 festival featured more established artists and hip hop legends. This year festival organizers are clearly going for the younger audience with artists such as 21 Savage, City Girls, and Blueface. There are lots of chart topping artists but not so many OG hip hop legends we’ve grown accustomed to seeing. Tickets range from the $69 early bird special to $350 VIP packages that include:
- Access to a VIP only general admission pit for the main stage
- Access to a VIP only general admission area for the 2nd stage
- Access to the exclusive VIP Hang Areas including VIP Pass Lounge with air-conditioned full service cash bar area, restrooms, snacks & VIP Tent area with picnic-style seating (space subject to capacity)
- Commemorative VIP laminate
- VIP fast lane entry into the event
- On-site host
Tickets can be purchased here.
