Artist Encounters
Upstairs at The Fillmore Philadelphia, The Foundry keeps live shows close to the stage in a roomy standing area. Strong sound quality shapes the concert, and staff hand out water between acts. An extensive bar and coat check cover practical needs during the event. Acts frequently stick around after shows to meet fans, adding a direct post-concert moment. Events are all ages. Listed hours run Monday through Saturday from 12:00 PM to 6:00 PM.
