JAY-Z is set to headline this year’s Roots Picnic festival, fueling rumors that he’s gearing up to make a musical comeback.
Organizers announced on Tuesday (March 17) that Hov will perform with The Roots on May 30 at Belmont Plateau in Philadelphia. The hip-hop legends famously shared the stage back in 2001 for Jigga’s MTV Unplugged live album.
“Moving the Roots Picnic to Belmont Plateau and bringing JAY-Z and The Roots together to perform are both bucket-list moments for us,” The Roots’ manager and President of Live Nation Urban Shawn Gee said in a press release.
