Great musicians are constantly coming through Philadelphia, why not enjoy them? Whether you get down to sweet sounds of The O’Jays or rock out to Yellowcard, this guide will help keep you in the know.

First, we’ll start with Madonna’s Confessions Tour. She has two dates at the Wachovia Center in July. They are July 12th and 13th.

If you can’t make it to the concerts at the Wachovia Center there is also a concert at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey. This concert will be held on July 16th.

Like the Madonna tickets, these tickets went on sale in April. There are still tickets available for both dates. It’s best you get these tickets as soon as possible.

Radiohead will be playing the Tower Theatre in Upper Darby. Tickets went on sale on the 6th of May. Due to popularity, I strongly advise anyone wanting to see these guys to make an immediate purchase. These tickets will not be available for long. The dates to see them are June 1st and June 2nd.

Those into Yellowcard will be excited to hear that they’re coming to our great city. The punk rock band that incorporates a violinist into their music will be playing at the Electric Factory.
