All shows are curated and produced by Greg. As home-grown, devoted Philadelphians, our mission is to host a unique, hyper-local music festival that benefits our community, without large corporate and governmental oversight and involvement. We operate Philly Music Fest a bit differently than your typical music festival. By structuring Philly Music Fest as a non-profit and organizing the festival ourselves, we eliminate the need to pay producers and promoters. The result is that we pay our musicians well, host our shows only at independently-owned venues and then donate profits to local music programs educating the next great generation of Philly musicians. We certainly love that the consequence of Philly Music Fest benefits the next generation of Philly musicians, but don’t miss the shows. Each year, we highlight and celebrate nationally recognized Philly musicians, as well as emerging local bands, in the genres of Rock, Punk, Hip Hop, Bluegrass, Jazz, Pop, Metal and R&B. We hope you’ll join the cause and celebrate the music of Philadelphia. We believe that to sustain our vibrant music scene, we must support the next generation of Philadelphia musicians. The bands that will grace our stages in ten years are currently kids in middle and high school. Unfortunately, access to music education is not as easy as it used to be since public schools have cut music education programs. Our community is fortunate to have several amazing music education programs, but the programs need our collective economic support. Philly Music Fest supports the following organizations: Rock To The Future | Settlement Music School | Musicopia | Play On, Philly | Beyond The Bars | Philadelphia Youth Orchestra | Key of She - About The Dillinger Escape Plan Website | Facebook | Instagram | YouTube | Spotify Born out of the late-’90s New Jersey hardcore underground, The Dillinger Escape Plan detonated onto the extreme music scene with a sound that felt less like a band and more like a structural collapse in real time. With the release of their landmark 1999 debut album Calculating Infinity, the group redefined the boundaries of hardcore, metal, and experimental music through impossible time signatures, violent precision, and a chaotic live presence that quickly became legendary. The Dillinger Escape Plan fused mathcore complexity with grindcore intensity and punk unpredictability. Tracks like “43% Burnt,” “Sugar Coated Sour,” and “Destro’s Secret” sounded mechanical yet deeply human — controlled explosions stitched together with razor-sharp musicianship. At a time when heavy music was becoming increasingly polished and formulaic, The Dillinger Escape Plan embraced dissonance, instability, and outright danger. The Calculating Infinity era became synonymous with total sensory overload. Their live shows were infamous for shattered equipment, stage-dives from impossible heights, and performances that blurred the line between catharsis and collapse. Yet beneath the chaos was a level of compositional sophistication that would influence an entire generation of progressive metal, hardcore, and experimental bands for decades to come. More than just a debut record, Calculating Infinity remains a defining statement in heavy music — an album that challenged listeners, alienated purists, and established The Dillinger Escape Plan as one of the most fearless and innovative acts of their era.
