Taking place at the Hollywood Bowl, The Class of ‘95 will be the second time the Roots Picnic takes L.A. following last summer’s show, Hip-Hop Is the Love of My Life. It featured Queen Latifah, Common, Digable Planets and more. In this year’s announcement, the hosting band promised that the L.A. show wasn’t replacing the traditional festival. “DON’T WORRY PHILLY, WE’LL BE BACK FOR YOU IN 2025,” they wrote on Instagram.
