Philly Music Fest 2021

“Our Genre is Philly” – Philadelphia’s 2021 Philly Music Fest goes indoors, again, for season five.

In what is shaping up to be the fastest ever appropriation of C-19’s post quarantine mantra of “indoor staging, indoor staging, indoor staging,” the annual Philly Music Fest is taking advantage of the haste and has booked its fifth-year event, and started selling tickets as of May 14.

The October 6 through October 10 local music festival, all for the good of raising needed monies for youth music education programs, will welcome 19 bands in six separate showcases across five nights in five different venues, under the banner “Our Genre is Philly.”
