The Popped Music Festival should have taken place outdoors as it was originally intended. The acts were great, but each act played really short sets. If the event happens again in the future, they should have several stages and multiple acts playing at the same time. Also, the Liacouras Center is a terrible place to spend 8 hours on a Saturday!! Overall, it lacked the festival feel.
Would have been ten times more fun outdoors but all in all a crazy awesome experience.
The first 2 bands got cut for some reason which sucked because i wanted to see one of them. The day went by pretty fast although another downfall was the food selection was horrible! The last 4 acts were unreal! the whole place was a giant dance party!
They made us wait way too long to get on the floor, many people missed the band they came to see, it should of just been held at FDR or postponed!!
This was not what I paid for and it was a totally different experience than what I was expecting. They should have moved the event to another date rather than an indoor stadium. They cancelled so many parts of the festival that should have happened and didn't make up for it at all.
The vibe was really good especially in the last few acts and all the performances were really good and the music was nice live.
Best concert experience I've ever had. Foster the People had so much energy and Pretty Lights was crazy and so fun!
Overall, my only complaint was that I was not allowed re-entry into the concert. Since it was an all day event, i was not able to see all the bands, or even half, since I did not want to be in the arena the entire day. I understand it was relocated due to weather, but re- entry should have been allowed. Thank you.
Great bands, only wish the venue was bigger and had more festival activities. My friend and I got there early but were bored after walking around the venue...which took five minutes. Hope it's outdoors next year!
This festival's change in venue completely changed the atmosphere for the worst. Some acts were completely absent from the new lineup, food bazaars were no longer there, and I felt like I was trapped.
The floor space was "over capacity" when you could see places to stand. I missed all of Foster the People set waiting in line for 50 minutes !!!! Was worth it to see Pretty Lights close, but still not worth the ticket price to not see Foster the PPL. refunds anyone? epic fail liacouras center. Kreashawn sucks ! she deserved all the boos she got !
Lets be real it sucked that this concert was confined to the Liacouras Center. When you are watching numerous bands in a row you need some fresh air in between. However, the bands were awesome. I was only present for the following: Foster the people: surprisingly original sound, they have more songs than "all the other kicks" that are just as awesome. Girl Talk: YO that guy never stopped jolting his body up and down, amazing! Pretty Lights: sooooooo gooooood, would love to feel that music pumping through my veins again.
The evening of day two presented some fantastic shows. Foster the People's fantastic remix of "Pumped Up Kicks" put the end to a sound set. Girl Talk got the crowd going with one of the loudest and most interesting run of mashups I've ever experienced. Finally, Pretty Lights produced a level of crowd enthusiasm the other acts couldn't possibly have mustered. The indie kids and electronic fans alike were bumping. Well done. Despite a perfect trio of shows, the change of venue KILLED the vibe. There were monstrous lines to get down to the floor, despite the space for (approximately) a hundred more people. Nobody paid 60+ dollars to stand in the rafters, that's for certain. Forcing dedicated fans to choose between the opportunity to get up close or experience the whole show but from afar is wrong. There should have been a posting on the website, or anywhere for that matter, relaying the protocol of the new location.
The headliners were amazing! But the other shows were lame and the event was too disorganized, people couldn't get to the floor and were mad about it (with a reason).
I really enkoyed the POPPED! music festival this past SAturday, sept. 24, 2011 in Philly... ONE ISSUE, HOWEVER, was that it shouldve been held at a better venue-it was way too crowded and congested. everyone i talked to there was either annoyed and or too hot. it shoulda been outdoors as originally planned considering it didnt even rain saturday...oh well
I only saw Kreayshawn, Foster the People, Girltalk, and Pretty Lights and I loved every minute of it. I was tired, dehydrated, and sore but that was completely worth it.
awesome! i wish this festival would go on tour to more cities in the northeast! love Girl Talk!
Went on Saturday to see a number of bands, but especially pretty lights. They wouldn't let anyone on the floor unless someone left the floor, and no one would leave the floor because you couldn't get back on the floor. No water or beer or food on the floor. Couldn't go to the food vendors because you couldn't leave the gym. Two bands advertised didn't play. Feel cheated. Oh yeah, all ages show was the worst--awful stupid college kids who cried about you standing too close to them.
This was originally suppose to be a festival in FDR park with tons of Philly Vendors and things to do. Due to crazy amounts of rain they had to move it inside and a lot of the attractions werent able to be showcased. But the show was still really great! They did everything they could to make sure the show went smoothly and was a success and it was! Can not wait till next year!
What was originally planned as a great festival turned into an expensive run down event... For starters, quest love was no where to be seen, j.period and black thought were also missing. They were 2 huge acts on the bill! The fact that it was re located from a 3 stage outside event to a closed in venue really killed the vibe. And all of the food trucks that were a great part of the festival ended up not even showing up... Really pissed about paying that kind of money for what i got out of it. Should of had the option to get a refund... As far as girl talk and pretty lights, they killed it!
