Meek Mill will make his Roots Picnic debut this summer, joining a stacked lineup of soul, rap and rock stars.

Other returning acts include GloRilla, Jeezy, 2 Chainz, Musiq Soulchild, Pusha T and Kaytranada. But it'll be the first Roots Picnic for Philadelphia native Mill, as well as the top-billed rocker, Lenny Kravitz. Additional performers will be announced at a later date.
