The XPoNential Music Festival returns to Camden the weekend of Sept. 20-22. Above, the National Reserve plays at the 2018 event.
WXPN's signature music festival will bring country, funk and rock acts out to Wiggins Park next month.
The XPoNential Music Festival, which has been rocking Camden for three decades, returns Sept. 20-22. The lineup includes 23 artists from various genres, including Northeast Philly crooner Khalil Amaru, who will perform "Dear June," his winning entry in WXPN's 24-hour songwriting contest.
The Walkmen, Guster and Rosanne Cash will headline the festival. The Walkmen and Cash, the daughter of country legend Johnny Cash, performed at the festival in 2010.
Tickets can be purchased on the festival's website, which notes that there will be no box office or will call at Wiggins Park this year. Single-day passes cost $79 for Friday and $89 for Saturday or Sunday. Three-day passes run $236. WXPN members, however, pay less, especially if they buy early. Three-day passes are still available to them for $177 until Sept. 9; after that, the price goes up to $201.
