While Jimmy Fallon may still be trying to find his voice as the new host of Late Night, his house band The Roots seem to be killing it on a nightly basis. The Philly-based hip-hop collective will take a break from their late night duties when they host their 2nd annual Roots Picnic in their hometown on June 6.
The band has already recruited a diverse roster of acts to join them which will include – The Black Keys, TV On The Radio, Santigold and Jazzy Jeff – who will spin between sets. Also joining the bill will be Public Enemy who will perform their legendary album It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back
