Adult Swim has announced the lineup for this year's festival, as they head east for the first time this summer for a block party in Philadelphia. The fest is set to take place at various venues in Philly’s Fishtown neighborhood on August 5th, 6th, and 7th, 2022. The inaugural Adult Swim Festival Block Party marks the festival’s first-ever installment on the East Coast, following two years in Los Angeles and two years as a virtual event.
The Adult Swim Festival Block Party will include a series of individually ticketed events at four venues in close proximity in Fishtown: The Fillmore Philadelphia, The Foundry, Punch Line Philly, and Brooklyn Bowl Philadelphia. Headliners for the three-day event include Run The Jewels, Philly native Tierra Whack, and Dethklok. Additional performers will be announced.
In addition to live music, the festival offers diverse mix of comedy, live panels, outdoor screenings, and exclusive merchandise celebrating Adult Swim. Michael Ouweleen, president of Adult Swim, said: “After several successful years in [Los Angeles] and online, we’re excited to bring the Adult Swim Festival to the East Coast. Fishtown is the perfect setting for what promises to be an unforgettable celebration of the city, Adult Swim and top talent who are at the forefront of the music and comedy worlds.”
Performances are individually ticketed and vary in pricing, with tickets to panel events available at no charge while supplies last. General tickets are on sale now; for full details, head here.
