The Roots are giving Los Angeles a reason to plan next summer before this week’s ticket sale even opens. A Roots Picnic Experience returns to the Hollywood Bowl on June 25, 2027, with the show starting at 7:30 p.m.
The venue’s official event listing confirms a fourth year for the concert celebrating Hip-Hop history. General tickets go on sale November 13 at 10 a.m., following a November 12 presale at the same hour.
For now, The Roots are the only performers named on the 2027 event page. The date is locked into the calendar, but the listing doesn’t yet reveal which guests will join them.
That leaves room for another lineup built around the kind of cross-generational performances that brought the picnic west. The inaugural 2024 Hollywood Bowl edition featured Queen Latifah, Common, Digable Planets, Arrested Development, The Pharcyde and Black Sheep.
The following summer brought the Class of ’95 edition to the same venue on June 8, 2025. Its anniversary focus put a particular year in rap history at the center of the gathering.
Meanwhile, the Philadelphia event has kept building its own moments alongside the Los Angeles concerts. This year’s hometown festival booked Jay-Z for a performance with The Roots as he marked 30 years of Reasonable Doubt.
The 2027 Bowl listing also places the picnic in its Special Concerts series alongside opening night, Taskmaster and the July Fourth fireworks shows. Subscribers can access designated presales, while the venue’s Create Your Own option bundles three or more concerts with reduced ticket fees.
The Hollywood Bowl lists all ticket sales as final and notes that programs, artists, dates, prices and availability can change.
