ICE CUBES: POPPED! on the move

It’s no secret that POPPED! (Electric Factory-approved) and the Philly F/M Fest (Live Nation says hello with events like Deadmau5) take over Philly starting tonight, Sept 22. It’s all over our new Music Issue.

But while Joe Lekkas’ F/M enters its second year in place with events at the Legendary Dobbs, 2424, TLA and World Café Live, the all-outdoor POPPED! is taking its FDR Park-placed arrangement and moving it all indoors due to possibly inclement weather and flooding.

POPPED’s two-day love affair with the likes of Girl Talk, Yuck and cover girl Nikki Jean gets moved up to Temple's Liacouras Center for its two day stretch (1776 N. Broad St., Sept. 23-24). No word yet (and we’ve asked) on whether POPPED’s comedy and food components will get moved to the Temple University sports complex, too. Liacouras has its own concessions, so who’s to say? (Check poppedphiladelphia.com for further details.)

And remember, F/M has several outdoors shows (Cheers Elephant, Lady) as well as an outdoor/indoor BBQ with Birdie Busch, Viva Voce and Reading Rainbow, which, according to Lekkas, will go on no matter what the weather is. “All of our outdoor stuff is rain or shine,” says Lekkas. Let it snow, yo. (Details at phillyfmfest.com.)
