Weather Alert: 'Popped' Musical Festival Moved

Due to the heavy rainfall and thunderstorms forecast by the National Weather Service over the next several days for the Philadelphia area, the POPPED! Music Festival, scheduled for Sept 23 & 24 at FDR Park, has been moved to the Liacouras Center at 1776 N. Broad Street on Temple’s campus, in Philadelphia.

The producers of the event along with the Friends of FDR Park are taking the necessary precautions to insure a quality event and everyone’s safety. With the record rainfall the city has seen over the last month and the expected rain scheduled for the rest of the week, the ground will simply be oversaturated with water.  In an effort to save the park from thousands of people congregating over 2 days in the excessively wet area and still be able to bring a safe, exciting event to Philadelphia, the decision was made to move the POPPED! Music Festival to the Liacouras Center.
All previously purchased tickets will be honored and tickets are on sale now for the Liacouras shows through TicketmasterSingle Day Tickets and Two Day Passes for the POPPED! Music Festival are on sale now.  Advanced price tickets ($59.50 each day for single day tix & $110 for 2 day passes) are available through Ticketmaster.com, ComcastTIX.com, PoppedPhiladelphia.com, The Liacouras Center Box Office and the Electric Factory Box Office located at 421 N. 7th Street (no service fees for cash purchases!). Day-of-event tickets will be $65 each and available at the Liacouras Center box office.

The Liacouras Center is easily accessible with area parking lots, on-street parking and numerous public transportation options.
