Philadelphia isn’t the first city that comes to mind when it comes to EDM performances, yet the concert lineup this October, particularly during the week of Fall Break, features an impressive handful of the genre’s hottest DJs. Here are three concerts that we’re particularly looking forward to:
1. Avicii at the Forbes Under 30 Music Festival on October 6
Avicii, aka Tim Bergling, is one of the hottest DJs on the scene today with his recent hits “Waiting For Love,” “Wake Me Up,” and “Hey Brother.” He will be joined by Hanson, Lindsey Stirling, Shawn Mendes, and Fetty Wap at the Forbes Under 30 Music Festival at Penn’s Landing Festival Pier on October 6, following the annual Forbes Under 30 Summit.
2. Armin Van Buuren with Kygo on October 8
Renowned trance DJ Armin Van Buuren and tropical house DJ (as well as last year’s Spring Fling opener) Kygo will perform on October 8 at Festival Pier at a show hosted by 96.5 Amp Radio. Latest hits from Van Buuren include “Another You” and “This Is What It Feels Like” while Kygo’s recent singles include “Stole the Show” and “Firestone.”
3. Zedd on his True Colors Tour on October 10
Anton Zaslavski, aka Zedd, will be stopping by Temple University’s Liacouras Center on his True Colors Tour on October 10. The Russian-German DJ recently won a Teen Choice Award for his single featuring Selena Gomez, “I Want You To Know.” He will be joined by openers Alex Metric, What So Not and Dillion Francis.
