Philly Music Fest detailed its 2026 lineup including The Dillinger Escape Plan, RJD2, Sweet Pill and other artists including a “Surprise Headliner” TBA. The weeklong, 10th annual event goes down at venues throughout Philadelphia October 12 – 18.
Additional headliners include Marietta, Mo Lowda & the Humble, Immanuel Wilkins and Owen Stewart. Also set to perform at Philly Music Fest 2026 are Madi Diaz, Caiola, Noah Richardson, Remember Sports, Euphoria Again, Bleary Eyed, Wax Jaw, Solar Circuit, Nik Greeley & The Operators, Sug Daniels, Angelo Outlaw, Pyrrhon, Mäty, Roberta Faceplant, Clover Stieve, Midfield and Caged.
Founded by local couple Greg and Jenn Seltzer, the nonprofit Philly Music Fest celebrates 10 years in 2026.
“PMF started small at one venue in 2017 and has grown slow and smart to nine shows over seven nights each October,” Greg Seltzer stated. “The success and longevity of PMF is the consequence of unwavering adherence to our mission – supporting local musicians and independently owned venues, then donating the profits to music education programs rather than a corporation’s bottom line.”
“[W]e don’t measure success by size, we measure success by impact,” Seltzer added, “and the math suggests that our biggest impact for artists, venues and kids is to stick with nine club shows instead of a large footprint festival, stay lean on costs, and do as much of the work ourselves.”
Tickets go on sale Friday, May 22 at 10 a.m. ET.
