Not sure whose idea it was, if anyone's, but these two festivals will be going head to head with each other at least on the 23rd and 24th of September.
The first is the 2nd annual Philadelphia Film & Music Festival, or F/M Fest. It will be held from September 22nd to the 25th at venues large and small, featuring both reputed local and national acts. The list so far includes:
Dead Milkmen, The Head and The Heart (who recently played at the XPN's Non-Comm in Wilmington), Sharon Von Etten, Jukebox the Ghost, Hezekiah Jones, Hoots & Hellmouth (also their cd release show), Buried Beds, Reading Rainbow, The Get Down Stay Down, and more. Tickets are $80 for a one day pass or $100 for a full 4 day pass. http://www.phillyfmfest.com/ (click on the 'buy tickets' link there for an easier-to-read full line-up).
The second is the Popped Fest, which ran for a couple of years, stopped for a couple of years, and is now back with bigger names than ever. This one will be held on September 23rd and 24th at FDR Park, by the stadiums. The line-up includes: The Shins, Panda Bear, Cage The Elephant, The Hold Steady, Girl Talk, The Pains of Being Pure At Heart, The Budos Band, Mates of State, and more. This one is $110 for a 2-day pass (no 1-day passes are being sold). http://poppedphiladelphia.com/
