After seven years away from festival stages, Jay-Z headlined Roots Picnic with a career-spanning set and an opening freestyle that targeted Drake, Nicki Minaj, and Kanye West directly.
The festival moves to the historic Belmont Plateau in Philadelphia for its 2026 edition, featuring a joint headlining set.
