Our mission is to provide Philadelphia with a sustainable, all ages music festival featuring genre-spanning local and national performances while bringing global media exposure to Philadelphia.

The POPPED! Festival is a 3-day event that will occur annually in Philadelphia. In its second year, POPPED! will use Drexel University, Trocadero, and World Cafe Live as its venues over three days, June 20, 21, 22nd 2008. POPPED! will host globally recognized artists as well as breakthrough local artists, creating lineups each night with unique performances in a boutique setting.

In addition to extraordinary entertainment, POPPED! has a focus on sustainability. The Festival will have a focus on being "green" from working with sustainably minded businesses in the region to recycling plastic, glass, cans, and paper, while educating concert-goers on the importance of a sustianable lifestyle.
