Run & DMC Reunion with the Roots; wonder if they'll cover Raising Hell although I'll take Run and D's greatest hits with the Roots and Jazzy Jeff backing them!!!


http://www.okayplayer.com/news/The-Roots-Announce-the-2010-Picnic-Lineup-.html

Headline will be Vampire Weekend, with performances from Mayer Hawthorne, The Clipse, The Very Best, Tune-Yards, Das Rascist, Bajah + The Dry Eye Crew, Pattern is Movement, The Money Making Jam Boys, a special set with DJ Jazzy Jeff on the turn tables and ?uesto working percussion, and of course performances from The Legendary Roots Crew.

In an effort to out-do the memorable Roots x Public Enemy It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back performance from last year (a tall feat), ?uesto drops a hint that a reunion for the ages will be going down on stage this year. Judging by his hints I'm guessing it's some trio from queens who wore fedoras, shell toed Adidas, and dookie rope gold chains. Tickets will go on sale this Friday (March 5th) via Live Nation.

Definitely.

I just bought tics for BB King on Friday, and I already had tics for U2.
It's gonna be a great summer in the city.

No DJ is fit to spin a Run & DMC reunion.
Roots backing them is the only way it can possibly go down.

Update is in order...


The headline act is now Meth, Chef, and Ghost being backed by The Roots.
Also John Legend, Clipse, and Jay Elect.

i do like this line up, but i don't think i can splurge the $80 for tix on top of the drive out.
