Philly Music Fest celebrates 10 years of the annual city-wide festival October 12-18, 2026. Taking place at six independent venues in six different neighborhoods across seven nights, PMF is a non-profit organization. PMF highlights the thriving local music scene, then after paying all musicians and venues, PMF donates profits to music education programs for underprivileged kids ensuring the future of Philly music. PMF estimates an annual economic impact of $500,000, including an annual donation to music education of $100,000.

The lineup for PMF is stacked with nationally recognized headliners paired with up-and-coming future stars. Gregory Alan Isakov headlines two nights at Ardmore Music Hall October 12 & 13 with Madi Diaz and Caiola supporting. Mo Lowda & The Humble with Noah Richardson and Clover Stieve grace the stage at Fishtown's Johnny Brenda's, October 15 features two shows: RJD2, Solar Circuit, and vibraphonist Angelo Outlaw will pack the house at Milkboy while The Dillinger Escape Plan, Pyrrhon, and Caged head up the second annual metal night at Underground Arts.
