Tune into 102.9 MGK Memorial Day in 2024 for the next Philly 500 countdown.

Our biggest music weekend of the year is here. The MGK Philly 500 returns for Memorial Day Weekend.

The MGK "at work network" decides the entire order of the countdown. The list is in the hands of the passionate and knowledgeable MGK listeners who vote on our website. 

Vote for your favorites before your opportunity ends on Wednesday, May 24. You'll even be automatically entered for a chance to win $500.

Two days later, the festivities start. Join Matt Cord at 1pm to hear the songs that just missed the cut for the Philly 500 in 2023. 

Andre Gardner will begin the countdown at 2pm on Friday, May 26.

It’s tough to think of a better feeling of freedom than a ride with the windows down in the beautiful weather with the best Rock & Roll songs of all time leading you into the first weekend of summer.

Liven up your holiday barbecue or a trip to the beach by asking your smart speaker to “Play 102.9 MGK” to enjoy the Philly 500 through the countdown all the way to NUMBER 1, named on Monday evening.

The all-time greats will rise to the top of the list. The top spot could go to classic rock stalwarts like the Beatles, Pink Floyd, or the Who once again.

Bruce Springsteen rocked the city of Philadelphia at the Wells Fargo Center in March, and he will return to do it again at Citizens Bank Park in August. Will “Born to Run" or "Thunder Road" get an extra boost with so many listeners excited to see the Boss?

Will Peter Frampton make another surprise rise with "Do You Feel Like We Do" in the first spot?

"Stairway to Heaven" has been called the greatest Rock & Roll song in history plenty of times before, but it's up to our listeners to decide if the iconic Led Zeppelin classic should reclaim the top spot for the MGK Philly 500.
