Tems, Meek Mill, and More Set to Perform at the 2025 Roots Picnic Festival

Nigerian music star Tems is set to take the stage alongside American rapper Meek Mill and other global stars at the 2025 Roots Picnic Festival in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The highly anticipated festival, curated by the legendary hip-hop band The Roots, will take place at Fairmont Park from May 31 to June 1, marking its 17th edition.

Roots Picnic has built a reputation for blending hip-hop, R&B, soul, and live podcasts, creating a dynamic cultural experience. This year’s lineup is no exception, featuring a diverse mix of legendary and contemporary acts. Among the headliners are neo-soul icon D’Angelo, who will perform alongside The Roots, as well as rock legend Lenny Kravitz, and modern stars like Latto, Glorilla, Miguel, and Kaytranada.

Fresh off her world tour in support of her upcoming debut album, ‘Born in the Wild’, Tems continues to solidify her place as a global superstar. Having already graced the stages of Coachella and Glastonbury, she has become a festival favorite, and her inclusion in Roots Picnic 2025 further highlights the growing influence of African artists on the global music scene.

British-Sudanese artist Elmiene will also perform at the festival. Known for his critically acclaimed EP ‘For the Deported’, which pays tribute to those affected by the Sudanese civil war, Elmiene has captivated audiences with his emotional and soulful sound. His breakout single “Golden” played a key role in his rise to prominence, and fans can expect a moving performance.

Over the years, African artists have made a significant impact at Roots Picnic. In 2022, Wizkid delivered an unforgettable performance alongside Mary J. Blige and Summer Walker, while last year, South African star Tyla was scheduled to perform before pulling out due to injury.

With an impressive and diverse lineup, the 2025 Roots Picnic Festival is shaping up to be an unforgettable celebration of music and culture. Fans can expect electrifying performances, iconic collaborations, and a showcase of the best in global music.
