— The Fillmore Philly (@FillmorePhilly) May 27, 2015 Live Nation has announced a new venue is coming to the historic Fishtown neighborhood in Philadelphia. The Fillmore Philadelphia -which will hold 2,500 in its main room and 450 in the separate Foundry venue under the same roof -is expected to open this fall.
The Fillmore Philadelphia will be located at 1000 Frankford Avenue in the City of Brotherly Love at the site of a defunct, 100-year-old factory. Live Nation’s House of Blues Entertainment (HoBE) division will run the new venues. HoBE has utilized the familiar “The Fillmore” label for the new venue which builds upon the legacy established by impresario Bill Graham in the ’60s. Philadelphia’s Theater of Living Arts briefly had Fillmore as part of its name between 2007 and 2008.
As mentioned, The Fillmore Philadelphia is scheduled to open this fall. There’s no word on who will open the venue or any concerts set for The Fillmore Pennsylvania as of press time. More information is available via the new venue’s website.
