Rudest Crowd Ever!
by atomhrtmom on 7/15/15Festival Pier (at Penn's Landing) - PhiladelphiaLet me say up front that this was a free concert. I knew from the start the it was not going to be the greatest event. It was quite annoying to have huge groups of 15 year olds standing next to you chatting away through most of the bands. Did they not come to hear the music? Others would just push past and stand right in front of you like you were not even standing there. Most of the older concert goers were all complaining about the behavior of the youngsters. Also a big problem was that plenty of beer was being sold but to the under 21 crowd. There should have been a certain spot were you were allowed to drink and not bring it into the main crowd. The bands that played were....Civil Twilight, Ms. Mr. , The War On Drugs and Nate Russ. I really went to see The War On Drugs. Civil Twilight was good. Your basic Alt band. The lead singer is a cutie! Ms. Mr. was a pleasant surprise. High energy and a combination of EDM and rock. Nice interaction between the lead singer and the keyboardist. Would def make a point of seeing this band again. The War On Drugs were fabulous as always. I don't know why they were included on this bill because they did not fit with the rest of the acts. A mass exodus occurred once The War On Drugs left the stage. I think everyone just wanted to get the heck out of there. I have to say if this was not free, I would have pursued getting my money refunded. Did not stay to see Nate Ruess.
