2016 Roots Picnic Lineup Announced

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- The Roots Picnic is a festival curated by the Roots that takes place every summer in their hometown of Philadelphia, which is renewed every year in spite of the group's obligations as the house band for the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.

The Roots Picnic is set to be headlined by Leon Bridges, Usher (backed by the Roots), and rapper Future.

The June 4 festival will also feature performances by DMX, Willow Smith, daughter of West Philadelphia native Will Smith, local artists Lil Dicky and GoGo Morrow.

This year the lineup was announced in a video starring "Broad City" co-creators Ilana Glazer and Abbi Jacobson.

Tickets to the festival go on sale Friday, February 5, at noon.
