Upcoming Philly Concerts in June

Saturday, May 24, 2008

We have some fresh events coming up next month so let's delve in shall we? First up as many of you may know, THE ROOTS PICNIC is coming up next month. The show will include the artists: The Roots, Gnarls Barkley, Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings, Santogold, DeerHoof, The Cool Kids, Diplo, Esperanza and many more! June 7, at 12pm at the Festival Pier (Columbus Boulevard & Springgarden Street; Philadelphia, PA 19123) is when it kicks off. However, this huge event doesn't come cheap, as you'll have to hand over $50 for general admission *damn!*. If you're interested check out their site at: http://www.theroots.com.

Next up is the FRESH RHYMES & VIDEOTAPE tour by artists: Dilated Peoples, the Alchemist, Aceyalone and 88Keys. It's happening on June 15 at the Fillmore
at TLA and tickets are only $20 *sweet*! Keep in mind that this concert does fall on Father's Day so buy accordingly. For myself, I'll be hitting up the NYC show on June 13th. They have more dates on their website so if you can't make it out to the Philly or NYC one check out their site for more locations: http://www.deconmedia.com/freshrhymesvideotape/.

Last up is not really a hip-hop event, but does feature one of my favorite DJs (well maybe aside from The Third Hand...): RJD2. So what's up with this event? Well, JAM ON THE RIVER a two day concert also featuring the likes of: The Flaming Lips, The Disco Biscuits, Josh Ritter, BassnectarGrimace Federation. The event will be held from today (May 24) til tomorrow at the Festival Pier. Doors open at 12:30 and you'll have to shell over a hefty $50 today to get in or $45 for tomorrow (advance tix). For more info check out their site: http://jamontheriverphilly.com/.

Well that's all for now folks. Shoot us an email if you think we missed something cause we'd definitely like to jump on it!

Peace and love.
