Hip-hop stars The Roots are taking their annual music festival, Roots Picnic, online and turning it into a voter registration drive with the help of former U.S. First Lady Michelle Obama.
Frontman Questlove, otherwise known as Ahmir Khalib Thompson, and his bandmates had to postpone the summer event in their hometown of Philadelphia due to the coronavirus pandemic. They have now decided to stage a virtual version in partnership with Obama's non-partisan non-profit When We All Vote.
Obama will join the drummer and rapper Black Thought remotely to co-host the 27th June show (28th June in UK), which will feature sets by the likes of SZA, Roddy Ricch, H.E.R., Lil Baby, Kirk Franklin, Musiq Soulchild, and The Roots themselves.
The digital Roots Picnic will include additional appearances by Tom Hanks, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Kerry Washington, Janelle Monae, and Tracee Ellis Ross, among others.
