Solstice in the City

Solstice in the City is here ”kick off your summer at the Kimmel Center with a night of drinks, music, and spectacle! Visit our intimate Jazz Lounge to hear world-premiere work by our Jazz Residency Artists, or stop by Verizon Hall for performances by acclaimed experimental wunderkind San Fermin and headliner Real Estate, described by Pitchfork as 'a rock band several lengths ahead of the fuzzy beach bums with which they pine.' An ideal blend of breezy relaxation and suburban melancholy evocative of Yo La Tengo and the Feelies, these indie rock veterans promise to deliver a sublime evening. Kick back with Foosball, Skeeball, Ping Pong, and Hammocks at the Solstice Lounge. Meanwhile, Philly hometown favorite DJ MR BEST will transform Commonwealth Plaza into a late-night dance party beneath the soaring glass roof. The night ends with some percussive insanity courtesy of French provocateurs La Compagnie du Transe Express, who wowed hundreds of thousands of onlookers during the PIFA Street Fair in 2011. Cocktails and small bites by Chef Jose Garces will be available for purchase. $30 admission grants you access to all venues—all night long. What better way to welcome the summer?
