The Roots to play 40 Acres Fest

Philadelphia hip-hop band the Roots will headline the 40 Acres Fest, a free annual concert on the main mall of the University of Texas campus. The show starts at noon Saturday April 5. Did we mention that it’s free?

The Roots, one of the best live bands on the planet, will play a mix of old faves and tunes from the upcoming (April 29 droppage) CD “Rising Down.”

It's gonna be quite the show. Even though its not really warranted, I expect

just like when Common came down for 40 Acres fest.

Solid choice.

I recall Ludacris came to the 40 Acres Fest back in 2001 or 2002. The South Mall had a nice smoky haze to it.

The following year they had Vertical Horizon or some lame band of similar ilk.
