Though The Roots have taken a break from the majorly exhaustive touring they use to do to back in the day, the much-loved, much-admired hip hop group will be stopping by First Avenue's Mainroom on July 2nd.

The Roots, comprised of Black Thought, ?uestlove, Kamal, Capt. Kirk, Tuba Gooding Jr., and F Knuckles, have recently become the house band for the Late Night Show with Jimmy Fallon using their song "Here I Come" for the theme song. Besides jamming with Fallon and doing weekly shows at New York's Highline Ballroom and promoting their veggie lovin' with PETA, they are/have been working on their new album How I Got Over which explores a George Bush free White House and the feelings that come with having President Obama in office.

Check out the Roots performance at the Highline Ballroom the past April below and don't forget to get your tickets for The Roots on July 2nd. Doors open at 8PM and the tickets are $30.00
