Pop Break Live: XPoNential Music Fest Day 2: Amos Lee, Spoon, Chicano Batman, Charles Bradley, Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Stand of Oaks, Rhiannon Giddens, Dave Hause and the Mermaids, The Suffers, Foxygen, Xenia Rubinos, The Dove and The Wolf, and Cliff Hillis at the Camden Waterfront and BB&T Pavilion in Camden, NJ.
The absolutely brilliant Philadelphia-based independent and alternative radio station, WXPN, presented its annual XPoNentional Festival at the BB&T Pavilion in Camden, New Jersey.
The event featured an amalgam of big name talent performing on the same bill as burgeoning up-and-comers from the local New Jersey/Philly area as well as internationally.
On Saturday July 29, performances took place on all three stages, as opposed the night before where bands were forced to leave one stage (Wiggins Park) due to weather. So on this day performances happened at Wiggins Park, the Marina Stage, and the BB&T Pavilion
Pop Break’s Staci Altomari documented the second day’s action.
Check out Pop Break photos of Day 1 of the XPoNential Festival featuring Wilco, Conor Oberst, and others.
