Going back to Philly, Philly, Philly…

I’m going back to Philly.

Hmmmm, yeah I think so.

The Roots annual picnic is going down in Phillytown again during the first weekend in June. Along with the hardest working band of all time and the Money Makin’ Jamboyz on stage this year’s event will also host rap retro-futurists Das Racist.

Along with those acts the lineup for the show is stacked: performances from Mayer Hawthorne, The Clipse, The Very Best, Tune-Yards, Bajah + The Dry Eye Crew, Pattern is Movement, a special set with DJ Jazzy Jeff and Vampire Weekend headlining.

Last year’s picnic brought in Public Enemy to perform their greatest hits while the Roots crew held them down. The chatter is that this year’s picnic will look to be just as epic with some surprise guests on tap. You need to run, walk, drive, hop a bus or take a plane to Philly for this event.

The best part is that you could end up going to Philadelphia for free courtesy of the Philly 360° Roots Picnic Getaway Contest. Here’s what you get str8 laced with…

Two night stay at the Hyatt Regency Philadelphia at Penn’s Landing for the nights of June 4-6, 2010

Two roundtrip tickets on Amtrak Northeast Regional

Two tickets to The Roots Picnic + entry to VIP media area

$100 Garces Restaurant Group gift certificate

Philly 360° gift basket featuring items from local boutiques

Just click on the tab in the sidebar to enter yourself in the contest.

All of you winners need to holler at the kid so we can hang out at the show.
