Pennsylvania Convention Center successfully hosted the Hijinx Festival this past weekend (Dec. 27-28th).
2018 event, which was the first year of the event, was completely sold out, making this year’s tickets in even more high demand! Sold out and held over 20,000 people in the convention center!
People from all over traveled to Philadelphia to see the lights, the artists, hear the bass, and soak in the culture of Philadelphia.
Day 1 fans got hype with Clozee, Griz’s debut of a new Lizzo remix, then mind-blown with Bassnectar and mesmerized by Zedds Dead insane bass and lights!
Day 2 kept the EDM energy alive with Big Wild’s live set, Porter Robinson’s fresh mixes, Skrillex performance !! and Excision + Slander to complete the EDM festival!
Thanking the staff and security for making this a safe area to enjoy both music and vendors.
A huge success for the EDM crowd, especially in the winter time 🙂
Hope to see everyone next year !

Located in Chicago’s West Loop neighborhood sits an unassuming warehouse, but encapsulated inside is the spirit of skate and Do-It-Yourself (DIY) culture. Such a venture couldn’t belong to anyone else but Vans.
House of Vans has been hosting pop-up shops all over the world to inspire, teach, and spread creativity. Over the weekend, Philadelphia was lucky enough to host House of Vans at a similar warehouse just off the Spring Garden Market-Frankford line stop. Of course in true Philly fashion, the weekend was filled with chaotic skate contests, overflowing drink tokens, and people throwing shoes onstage for Tierra Whack to sign during her performance.
House of Vans Philly opened their doors on Thursday to a full house (RSVP tickets sold out weeks in advance.) This may be partially due to Philly heavy-hitters headlining the performances for the day — Orion Sun, Hop Along and Tierra Whack. All three acts were a perfect addition to the event, as they have perfectly captured the essence of Philly DIY in respective scenes. The event also hosted acts Phantogram,Y La Bamba and hosted a special Philly Locals showcase which included Yowler, Arch of Love, Buddie and Cheeky.
The experience culminated through a series of music, workshops, art demos, local vendors, and, of course, lots of skateboarding.

The event hosted a series of workshops ran by Todd Francis, Jaqueline Quinn, Phil Jackson, Frances Quinlan, BJ Betts, Tim Gough, Jeffrey Wright, Matt Wohlab, and Lauren Cat West. Zine making, block printing, and mini-guitar lessons were some of the sessions that attendees had the opportunity to experience first-hand.
Philly is a city known for it’s murals all over the city so it seemed pretty fitting that the event featured a live mural painting by Justine Kelley, Kees Holterman, Keith Greiman, Kendra Dandy, Lauren Cat West, Matt Wohlrab, TJ McGlade, and Zo Perron.

Paul Maged FIGHTs TO THE DEATH
Paul Maged FIGHTs TO THE DEATH
Being situated near our beloved Philly and having grown up in New Jersey, I find myself drawn to checking out the local scenes of not only Philly, but also NYC and the surrounding metro areas. One of my recent discoveries, Paul Maged, resides just a bit North of us in that aforementioned city that never sleeps. With upcoming dates in the works, he’ll hopefully come down our way soon, but until…

Goo Goo Dolls dish on ‘Miracle Pill’ and their summer tour

Don’t let the sugary sweetness fool you: The new Goo Goo Dolls single “Miracle Pill” is a departure from their previous work in terms of sound, but the lyrical content goes against the grain, making a profound statement on the social media-crazed world we live in and its emphasis on instant gratification.
“Are your sad? Take a pill. Are you lonely? Get popular on social media.…

Aura Blaze Presents THE SPARKLING BLACK
Aura Blaze Presents THE SPARKLING BLACK
In the area of Central NJ that can’t fully be claimed by the NYC or Philly metro areas lies the town of Lebanon. As in much of Central NJ, there you’ll find NY sports fans alongside Philly fans. This is the area where Philly staples like Wawa are a mile down the road from North Jersey convenience stores like Quickcheck. It’s a different type of place than the hustle and bustle of North Jersey or…
