Roots Picnic NYC Pre-Sale Is Live!

Black Thought + Questlove Announce 'The Roots Picnic' Coming To New York

In case you haven't heard, Roots Picnic is taking the show up 95 to NYC's Bryant Park this fall for a celebration of the city's boundless splendor and musical lineage. The bill holds nothing back, with a very special inaugural evening (October 1st) planned, featuring the likes of D'Angelo and John Mayer, backed by the mighty Roots crew.

And if that wasn't enough, the following evening (October 2nd) the fellas will be in tow while the likes of Wu-Tang, David Byrne an Nile Rodgers, respectively, pour down the hits, with Black Thought's live mixtape performance (featuring Styles P, Freddie Gibbs, Royce Da 5'9" and J. Period) as well as sets from DJ Jazzy Jeff, Yuna, Bibi Bourelly and so many more making this the city's premier festival experience (and an intimate one at that.)

We know you've all been teeming with anticipation for these pre-sale tickets to go live, and so, it brings us much pleasure to announce that you can now officially grab your stubs without trying too hard to crack the code (though that certainly didn't stop some of you.) Day passes run $99 with two-day bundles going for $179. Peep the line-up announcement from none other than Chris Rock below and hit the link in a hurry to cop your tickets using the code "BRYANT". It's only running until 10PM tonight! All tickets will be available tomorrow morning.
