Today is the fourth annual Roots Picnic at Festival Pier at Penn's Landing in Philadelphia. WXPN, along with Okayplayer, will be streaming the main stage performances starting at 1 p.m. ET.
Performers include The Roots, Wiz Khalifa, Nas (backed by The Roots), Esperanza Spalding (backed by The Roots), Edward Sharpe And The Magnetic Zeros, Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti, The Dismemberment Plan, and Little Dragon.
The broadcast will be hosted by me — Bruce Warren — and WXPN's Mike Vasilikos, and will feature live performances from the main stage (as well as interviews with some of the bands who are performing on the second stage).
Philly's own DJ Afrodjiak will join me and Mike during the webcast to cover all of the festivities and chat with artists throughout the day.
The Lineup (broadcast starts at 1 p.m. ET):
