Before the festival weekend officially begins, One Human 1985 brings the Roots Picnic Prelude to Bok’s 7th floor rooftop terrace — a curated social experience centered on music, culture, and connection, set above South Philadelphia’s skyline.

DJ Marc Asbury holds the set from 7:30 PM, spinning R&B, hip-hop, Afrobeats, amapiano, house, and feel-good classics across four hours. Cocktails, sunset views, photo moments, and limited capacity throughout. Doors open at 6:30 PM for a rooftop social hour before the music begins.

Roots Picnic 2026 runs May 30–31 at Belmont Plateau in Fairmount Park, headlined by JAY-Z with The Roots on Saturday and Erykah Badu on Sunday. Tonight is the prelude.

Tickets available at Eventbrite. Limited capacity — early arrival recommended. No refunds.
