That time of year already? The highly anticipated California Roots Festival just released the first round of three announcements of artists for their 8th annual year. Just like the previous seven years, Cali Roots 2017 will take place Memorial Day weekend, May 26th-28th, at the beautiful Monterey Bay Fairgrounds in Monterey, CA.
Headlining the first round of announcements are the Dirty Heads. This is especially fitting considering Dirty Heads were one of the first bands that ever played Cali Roots back when the festival only had access to the OG Stage. Cali Roots now utilizes three stages and the entire fairground, which fills up more every year.

Other artists on the announcement include Common Kings, Alborosie, Anthony B, Jesse Royal, Mellow Mood, and Through The Roots. Jurassic 5 is another headliner on the announcement who are a hip-hop group formed in the 90's for any hip-hop heads interested in attending next year's event. Iya Terra, Tribal Theory, Humble Soul, and The Late Ones are more talented reggae artists you won't want to miss.
Cali Roots is such a special and unique event because it's a festival where the artists, old or new, big or small, are just as excited to play it, as the fans are to attend. Early bird tickets and Redwood passes go on sale October 11th at 10AM and be on the look out for round two announcements set to be released on December 1st.
