The Roots will join NERD and Talib Kweli on the second Sprite Liquid Mix Tour.

O.A.R. and five or six yet-to-be-announced acts will also be on the bill, that will travel to 20 U.S. cities.

The tour begins on August 14 in Denver and ends in Boston on September 14.

There will also be an area to shoot hoops, play video games, and watch BMX bikers.

Jay-Z headlined last year’s festival, which also saw performances by NERD and Kweli, as well as Nappy Roots, Blackalicious, Nonpoint, Borialis, and Tech N9ne.
