Good news for anyone who wasn't lucky enough (or quick enough) to score tickets to the post-Super Bowl taping of the Tonight Show in Phoenix -- or any local fans of the program's house band, The Roots: they're reportedly going to be putting on a free concert in downtown Phoenix the day before the big game.
Word broke yesterday afternoon that the esteemed hip-hop/neo-soul band fronted by Questlove and Black Thought will be one of the headlining bands at the Pepsi-sponsored "Hyped for Halftime" stage inside the massive Verizon Super Bowl Central event that will take over downtown Phoenix from Wednesday, January 28, to Sunday, February 1.
