JAY-Z is making a long-awaited return to the stage.
In an announcement on Tuesday (March 17), HOV will hit the stage for the first time since 2018 along The Roots . The show will be held at Belmont Plateau in Philadelphia
Shawn Gee—Roots manager and Live Nation Urban president, described JAY-Z’s upcoming performance as a “bucket-list moment” for the team.
“After meeting with Mayor Cherelle Parker and hearing her vision for Philadelphia 250, she truly inspired us to dream even bigger. ‘And we’re grateful to her, Commissioner Susan Slawson, Jazelle Jones and everyone who helped make it happen,” Gee’s statement read. “We can’t wait to see everyone in May at the Plat.”
Presale tickets for the two-day Roots Picnic festival, taking place on May 30-31, are available now. General on-sale starts on March 18 at 10 a.m. ET. Details on the rest of the lineup are expected to be announced this week.
