In a statement provided to Philadelphia magazine, Philly Music Fest founder and attorney Greg Seltzer said, “I want the Philly Music Fest to annually be the best week of music in Philly. Philly Music Fest is a chance to not only see headliners treat the local audience to unimaginable underplays at small venues, but we annually feature a curated lineup of emerging bands that are poised to break out.”
Tickets for the festival go on sale at 10 a.m. on Friday, May 16, and will be available for purchase online. Prices range from $20 to $50, depending on the performance.
