I knew summer in Philly officially started when I saw someone carrying a Wawa hoagie, a Phillies rally towel, and a tallboy onto the El at the same time. We’re entering that stretch of the year where every warehouse party suddenly has a line around the block and your concert budget starts making personal attacks.

Annnddd right on cue: we’ve got guest list spots up for grabs for Chet Faker at Union Transfer next Friday. Thank me later.

JUST ANNOUNCED

• Time to break out the black eyeliner and nail polish, because it’s Emo Nite at Underground Arts on July 31st. Plus, a portion of the cover goes to charity. Win-win.

• The queens are hitting the road!! RuPaul’s Drag Race WERQ THE WORLD 2027 hits Tropicana Casino & Resort on February 6th, and the presale started today. Use code DOSTUFF for early access.*

• Machine Girl is headlining Bloodrave with Pictureplane and NOWHERE2RUN on July 16th. Hit those stretches beforehand – your neck will thank you later. Save the date.

• Dent May’s songs somehow feel breezy and gutting at the same time. Catch him at MilkBoy on October 27th and sing through the damage with the rest of the room. Secure your seats.

• Plus other just announced shows from One Philly Unity Concert, Anthony Green, Rhys Darby, Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Adult., and more!
