NO REFUNDS/EXCHANGES for anyone underage who purchases or attempts to use these tickets. Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PM &#160; GYASI Pronounced Jah-see, Gyasi seems in many ways to come from another planet, and being raised in the woods of a West Virginia holler might as well be another planet in this day and age. His parents bought him a guitar at a local flea market when he was six years old and he still hasn&#8217;t gotten rid of the fleas, or the guitar. He approaches his music as an all-encompassing art piece, using fashion, storytelling, and his guitar to create a world for his music. His debut full length vinyl is out now on Alive Records. Inspired by a wide range of art and culture both past and present, his work is fueled by an undeniable passion to create music that brings rock n roll into the 21st century. Gyasi is a modern rock star like no other.]]></description>

NO REFUNDS/EXCHANGES for anyone underage who purchases or attempts to use these tickets. Doors: 6:00 PM Show: 7:00 PM &#160; Loose PanicLoose Panic is a Philly-area alternative rock band blending melodic 90s indie rock influences with emotionally-charged lyrics and guitar-driven arrangements to create songs that alternately inspire head-nodding and head-swaying. Loose Panic is Jarret Crawford (songwriting, vocals, guitar), Liam Hare (drums), Anthony Carlisi (bass), Max Blauer (guitar), and Mariella DiStefano (keyboards, vocals). Their debut album Weightbearing (2026) is a collection of nine songs that reflect on the burdens we carry&#8212;as individuals, and as a generation of seekers in a country and society we barely recognize anymore. Themes of meaning, place, loss, memory, love, and identity weave throughout the record. Its musical stylings and lyrical imagery have touches of REM, The Replacements, Wilco, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Counting Crows, Smashing Pumpkins, Dinosaur Jr., Built to Spill, Modest Mouse, Pixies, and so many other influences along the way. Follow on Spotify, Instagram (@loosepanic_music) and subscribe at www.loosepanic.com &#160;In Lieu of RosesFormed in 2019, South Philadelphia&#8217;s In Lieu of Roses merges sonic elements from emo, shoegaze, indie, and good ole fashioned rock n roll to create moody rock that&#8217;s more fun than dreary.

NO REFUNDS/EXCHANGES for anyone underage who purchases or attempts to use these tickets. Doors: 6:00 PM Show: 7:00 PM &#160; THE DONUTS&#160; &#160; The Donuts have trod the boards for 25 years, bringing their special blend of pub rock and Kpop to often unsuspecting or non-existent audiences.&#160; They are delighted to wrap up their Pleasure of Seconds tour at Kung Fu Necktie where they actually released POS, an album called &#8220;strangely ingenious&#8221; by the Philadelphia Inquirer and featured on WPXN.&#160; As you may recall, the Pleasure of Seconds is response of sort to Rockpile&#8217;s legendary Seconds of Pleasure lp.&#160; In 2018, the Donuts performed that album in its entirety at KFN.&#160; This led the &#8216;nuts &#8211; as their legion of fan calls them &#8211; to write answer songs to the Rockpile originals. &#160;In addition to songs from POS, the Donuts will essay nuggets from their illustrious catalogue on Philadelphia&#8217;s Chapter 7 Records &#8482;. &#160; JOJO AND THE GREASE For nearly a decade now, drummer Alec Meltzer, bassist Jared Styles, and singer/songwriter Joey Sweeney have been gathering in a wood-paneled South Philly garage in the back of a former funeral home. There&#8217;s a low-to-the-floor sink there where they used to tilt the gurneys and let the blood off the cadavers run down into the city water system. It&#8217;s in this place, with assorted friends, that they&#8217;ve crafted a growing body of work &#8212; an album, a Christmas record, and bunch of singles and EPs. Across them all, the spirit of that room &#8212; referred to as the Parlor or just as accurately, The Body Shop &#8212; fills their songs with the stories and the vibes that are also on the other side of that drain, coursing under the city streets. The band call themselves Jojo &#38; The Grease because you&#8217;re not supposed to pour grease down the drain.On their newest EP, The Stage, they select the best of the songs they&#8217;ve been working on the lately, along with a live cover of Lou Reed&#8217;s &#8220;Nobody But You&#8221; &#8212; captured during their recent residency at legacy Philly jazz haunt Ortlieb&#8217;s, just steps from where Sweeney was born and raised. These songs channel the Velvets, dark UK indie pop from the 80s, and blown-out 70s singer-songwriters, and they are all straight from the heart. Possibly the only band on earth that has opened for Big Thief and The Gin Blossoms, Jojo &#38; The Grease can work a room, and take great joy in communing with the messy reality of the living. &#160; Speeding Arrow Cosmic sounds from planet earth.&#160; Speeding Arrow, a band rooted in the traditions of blues, folk, rock and psychedelia.&#160;&#160;Residing in the outskirts of Philadelphia, Speeding Arrow is taking a sonic journey through their galaxy of influences. With songs ranging from driving rockers to introspective ballads Speeding Arrow has a foot in past and eyes for the future.&#160;&#160;Performances leave plenty of room for interpretation and exploration.]]></description>

Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PM &#160; Jack Leon Jack Leon is a Richmond, Virginia based singer-songwriter, guitarist and multi-instrumentalist whose music blends pop, rock and blues with deeply personal, narrative-driven songwriting. Jack's debut album, Same Thing Differently, was released on all streaming platforms on July 24, 2026. The release was celebrated with a sold-out hometown album release show. Across the 10 song album, Jack pairs honest reflection with melodic, guitar-led arrangements. Jack&#8217;s debut record finally brings to life the culmination of nearly a decade&#8217;s worth of songwriting experience.&#160; &#160; Touring with a full band, Jack will perform the record with a mix of old and new tracks as well. From upbeat, highly energetic songs to stripped back ballads, the show will certainly take you on an emotional ride. Samantha May]]></description>

Blending the emotional openness of of Montreal and Voxtrot with flashes of MGMT&#8217;s playful charisma, the record captured the band&#8217;s tight-knit chemistry and earned them a loyal following in the Minneapolis scene. Though they rarely toured beyond the Midwest, the group&#8212;made up of longtime friends whose relationships stretched back over a decade&#8212;became a beloved local staple before amicably disbanding in 2015 as members moved on to new chapters. Years later, the internet gave Hot Freaks a second life. During the pandemic, their 2013 single &#8220;PUPPY PRINCESS&#8221; unexpectedly went viral on TikTok, introducing the band&#8217;s heartfelt, humor-tinged indie pop to a new global audience. What began as nostalgia among friends quickly turned into a full reunion as fans discovered the band&#8217;s earnest songwriting and infectious energy. Now reconnecting with listeners around the world, Hot Freaks are stepping back onto the stage with renewed momentum&#8212;releasing rare material, debuting new visuals, and turning a handful of hometown reunion shows into the start of a much bigger return.]]></description>

NO REFUNDS/EXCHANGES for anyone underage who purchases or attempts to use these tickets. Doors: 6:00 PM Show: 7:00 PM &#160; Rog&#234;&#160; Latin Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Rog&#234; is one of Brazil&#8217;s most vibrant contemporary voices, blending samba, soul, funk, and MPB into a warm, groove-driven sound. Born in Rio de Janeiro and now based in Los Angeles, he has built a growing international audience through dynamic touring across North America and Europe. His recent albums Curyman (2023) and Curyman II (2024), featuring legendary arranger Arthur Verocai, mark a defining new chapter in his career. In 2026, Rog&#234; continues touring Curyman II, joins Verocai for special performances, appears at the Greek Theatre with Thee Sacred Souls, and performs at Grand Performances after receiving the City of Los Angeles COLA Artist Fellowship. Known for his joyful, high-energy shows and soulful voice, Rog&#234; carries the spirit of Brazilian music to audiences worldwide. &#160; Ensemble Novo For over a decade, Ensemble Novo has celebrated the windswept melodies and perpetual-motion rhythms of Brazil with audiences in the Philadelphia area. The five-piece instrumental band explores samba, bossa nova and Musica Popular Brazil (MPB) through the language of improvisation, creating a sound that&#8217;s propulsive and celebratory at the same time. Initially inspired by saxophonist Stan Getz&#8217; landmark bossa nova collaborations of the 1960s, the group has gone on to explore a century of Brazilian song, creating expansive updates of early samba classics, sentimental radio ballads and progressive regional styles from Northeast Brazil, among others. Ensemble Novo has released five recordings; selections from these have been featured on WXPN-FM and WRTI-FM as well as stations in Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo, the Netherlands and across the globe. In a review of two EPs released in 2017 &#8211; Look to the Sky &#160;and Who Saw You Then, Who Sees You Now?, The Vinyl District raved &#8220;Together these two mini-albums put a playful spin on some of the world&#8217;s most welcoming music, Brazilian pop from the 1960s and 1970s. They are executed with a jazz touch and musical virtuosity by musicians who may not be household names, but deserve to be.&#8221;]]></description>

Doors: 6:30 PM Show: 7:00 PM &#160; Brendan Lane &#38; the Sugar Packets Singer-songwriter Brendan Lane is a lifelong musician whose first self-written tracks made their public debuts at a range of local all-ages gigs in his Annapolis hometown. Distilling influences from The Beatles to Blink-182 via a deep detour in blues country courtesy of B.B. King and John Mayer, Brendan quickly became known for his nostalgic yet innovative blend of rock and soul. Having since released two albums and an EP, played in 7 countries across 3 continents, and refined his reputation as an electric live act, Brendan&#8217;s momentum is at an all-time high as he prepares for his biggest year yet, with plans for monthly single releases, a slew of live performances, and the release of a full-length album slated for fall 2026 &#8212; much to the delight of his diverse and growing fanbase.

NO REFUNDS/EXCHANGES for anyone underage who purchases or attempts to use these tickets. Doors: 6:00 PM Show: 7:00 PM &#160; The Can't Stand Still Tour Lake Drive Lake Drive is here to bring passion, color, and drama back to modern music. Formed in 2023, the fast-rising band is on a mission to keep the chaotic, romantic, and beautifully broken parts of the human experience alive; especially in a world that often tries to mute them. Inspired by artists like The 1975, The Band Camino, The Wldlfe, 5SOS, Beauty School Dropout, and The Maine, Lake Drive blends those influences into something entirely their own: cinematic, hyper-stylized, and emotionally charged. &#160; Rising out of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, their mission is to create music that feels like a coming-of-age film, reminding listeners that vulnerability and fun aren&#8217;t opposites. In a culture driven by aesthetics, Lake Drive aims to add emotional depth through honesty, spectacle, and heart &#8212; creating space for people to feel free alongside them. Lake Drive isn&#8217;t just making songs; they&#8217;re creating a space where people can be unapologetically themselves. &#160; Nightbreakers NIGHTBREAKERS formed in 2019 in Tampa, Florida. Their signature blend of modern rock and ear-catching pop has now been on display on stages all across the United States.&#160; &#160; They have been building a steady online presence over the past few years by posting personable short-form content to reach their core audience. This has also allowed them to reach newcomers who long for an authentic revitalization of pop/punk and rock in the context of today's pop music environment. While touring with acts like Nightly, Knox, The WLDLFE, and A Story Told, they've captivated crowds in venues from coast to coast. From the intimate rooms like The Mercury Lounge in New York City to historic venues like the Metro in Chicago and August Hall in San Francisco. &#160; NIGHTBREAKERS have stayed true to the belief that authenticity around the music helps build relationships; they have worked hard on merchandising and aesthetics that align with their sound and the taste of their supporters. &#160; Moonroof]]></description>

NO REFUNDS/EXCHANGES for anyone underage who purchases or attempts to use these tickets. Doors: 6:00 PM Show: 7:00 PM Heart Problems Tour The OBGMs&#160; Hailing from Toronto, The OBGMs fuse punk, rock, and hip-hop into an electrifying sound that&#8217;s garnered criticalacclaim for &#8220;The Ends.&#8221; Known for their ferocious live performances, they&#8217;ve shared stages with heavyweightslike Death From Above, PUP, and Alexisonfire. Their explosive energy and genre-defying approach make thema force to be reckoned with, poised to leave an indelible mark on the music scene and captivate audiencesworldwide with their raw, unapologetic style Uniity Philly artist UNIITY isn&#8217;t just redefining punk and alternative music&#8212;she is the future of it. An avant-garde punk force formed in 2020, she harmonizes the lines between industrial, electronic, and hardcore, creating a sound as intentional as her mission: Unify independent, LGBTQ+, and POC voices in alternative spaces. By effortlessly coalescing genres thought to rarely coexist, UNIITY dismantles the rigid boundaries placed on both music and identity, forging a new space where chaos, emotion, and connection collide while redefining things with an unapologetically black lens.UNIITY&#8217;s performances are immersive, visceral experiences where chaos meets community. Genre-bending and intersecting the queer rave scene with hardcore punk, UNIITY seeks to bridge the gap. Whether screaming over distorted synths or weaving melody into noise, she proves that alternative music isn&#8217;t about fitting in&#8212;it&#8217;s about making room. With recognition from NPR, Afropunk, Cleveland Magazine, and many more, UNIITY is both the sound and the new movement of a new underground. Community Chapstick Community Chapstick is a 3-piece band based in the Northeastern Region of America. Currently hailing from the state of Delaware, this band brings with them shows as electric as the music. Community isn't just a quirky word to pair with the word Chapstick in the case of this band. With a humanitarian approach, supporting all walks of life, from queer/trans/immigrant to anyone with a heartbeat and love, is at the core of their beliefs.&#160; The sound ranges from angelic vocals to grimy and in-your-face rap. Purists of rock can find a happy place here just as much as the newer generation who enjoy a kick of futuristic sounds that push music forward.]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[&#160; NERVOSA Prika Amaral formed the band in February 2010 together with Fernanda Terra (the first drummer). The band began gaining notoriety in March 2012, when they released their first music video, &#8220;Masked Betrayer,&#8221; which reached the incredible mark&#8212;especially for a new band&#8212;of 20,000 views in just one week. This earned them an Honorable Mention from YouTube as the 17th most-watched musicians&#8217; video of the week and the 55th most-watched of the month of March that year. Shortly after, they independently released a 3-song demo.In the following months, NERVOSA achieved a major milestone: signing with the Austrian label Napalm Records, one of the world&#8217;s biggest record labels specializing in rock and metal.In March 2014, the band released their first full-length album, titled Victim of Yourself. The strong reception of the album was essential for the band to leave Brazil for the first time and begin touring across Latin America and Europe, where they also performed at some of Europe&#8217;s biggest summer festivals, such as Summer Breeze, Brutal Assault, MetalDays, Obscene Extreme, among others.In 2016, the band recorded their new album, titled Agony. Recorded and produced in California and Oregon, United States, by Brendan Duffey, and mixed and mastered by thrash metal master Andy Classen, the album had its worldwide release announced for June 3rd.In June 2018, the band released their third album, Downfall of Mankind, through Napalm Records, and embarked on several tours across Europe, Latin America, and Asia. The album was critically acclaimed, and in 2019, they performed at Rock in Rio for more than 70,000 people.In 2020, during the pandemic, the band released the single Guided By Evil in October of that year, and the new album Perpetual Chaos was released in January 2021, reaching top positions on music charts in several countries. That same year, the album was highly praised by the press and appeared in multiple rankings as the best album of the year, among other categories.2023 began with a major change, with the announcement of Prika Amaral taking over lead vocals, along with the addition of a second guitarist, Greek musician Helena Kotina. &#160; CASTRATOR &#160; EMBRYONIC AUTOPSY]]></description>

NO REFUNDS/EXCHANGES for anyone underage who purchases or attempts to use these tickets. Doors: 6:00 PM Show: 7:00 PM BIGBABYGUCCI BigBabyGucci describes his own music as multidimensional, and it&#8217;s a fitting assessment. Across his near-decade-long career, the 27-year-old rapper has experimented with different sounds and scenes, all of these explorations leading up to his new album, Baby 5. Densely produced and lyrically evocative, the project is BigBabyGucci&#8217;s opportunity to build a new world around his Baby 5 persona. Ostensibly presented as an alias or a moniker, the concept expands out to include a visual experience not unlike a series of television networks. Inspired by shows like Tyler the Creator&#8217;s Loiter Squad, and the long-running sketch comedy program Saturday Night Live, the presentation of Baby 5 will be as if the listener has been stuck in the visual and aural world of Baby 5. Born and raised in Charlotte, North Carolina, BigBabyGucci has been working and reworking the theme of his new album to perfection. Baby 5 considers all aspects of his life and career. Being from a Southern region, specifically, has taught BigBabyGucci to appreciate music on a deeper level, which is apparent through his artistic expression. He also had the advantage of visiting his mother&#8217;s side of the family in New York as an adolescent, which exposed him to MCs like Big L, MF Doom, and the Notorious B.I.G. But there&#8217;s no place like home&#8212;BigBabyGucci looks up to fellow North Carolina rapper J. Cole, as well as soul singer Anthony Hamilton, who hails from Charlotte. In May 2024, BigBabyGucci was selected as the visual cover of The Carolinas hip-hop radio station on Pandora. &#8220;I&#8217;m happy people are looking at North Carolina,&#8221; he says. &#8220;A lot of kids out there that are like me, that grew up there, it&#8217;s not easy to showcase that. Anything I can do to get more eyes on it.&#8221; &#8220;I feel like the project takes you on a ride of really different emotions,&#8221; he says. &#8220;It has a youthful feeling to it, but it&#8217;s still mature. I wanted to basically control how the listener feels instead of just dishing out a bunch of random songs.&#8221; Sonically, Baby 5 is a journey through hyper-rap, alternative hip-hop, and R&#38;B. Chronologically, the album transitions from phase to phase, sound to sound, giving fans an opportunity to delve further into each listening experience. &#8220;I&#8217;m still getting better,&#8221; he says. &#8220;I&#8217;ll always keep the basis of what my music will be or what it is, but I feel like you don&#8217;t know what you&#8217;re going to listen to once you press play on one of my songs.&#8221; Tracks like &#8220;Black Sheep&#8221; and &#8220;Captain Crashout&#8221; home in on BigBabyGucci&#8217;s penchant for crafting high-energy records, while &#8220;Petty Queen&#8221; and &#8220;Chanel&#8221; focus on his ability to appeal to a female audience. Altogether, it&#8217;s an experience that feels decidedly like BigBabyGucci.&#160; VIP MEET &#38; GREET: - 1 GA ticket - 1 hr early entry to venue - Bracelet - Signed poster - Photo with Gucci.]]></description>
