WXPN announces the set times and stage schedule for their 32nd annual XPoNential Music Festival Presented By Subaru. Running for three full days, September 19, 20 and 21 at Wiggins Park on the Camden, NJ Waterfront, WXPN’s thoughtfully selected bill includes indie rockers Courtney Barnett and Sharon Van Etten & The Attachment Theory and the eclectic, genre blending WAR as headliners all performing on the Roland Traynor River Stage. Joining them at Wiggins Park is Greensky Bluegrass, Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Molly Tuttle, Soccer Mommy, Spin Doctors, Richard Thompson, Tune-Yards and more play throughout the weekend on the Roland Traynor River Stage and Marina Stage. Gates on Friday, September 19 will be at 4:30 PM and at 12:00 PM on Saturday and Sunday, September 20 and 21.
Celebrated for their signature blend of roots, blues, indie rockers, and singer-songwriters, the outdoor XPoNential Music Festival features WXPN’s “impeccably curated” mix of established, emerging and local artists, as cited by Philadelphia Magazine in naming it Best Music Festival in its 2023 “Best of Philly” awards.
Produced in partnership with the Camden County Board of Commissioners, the XPoNential Music Festival attracts audiences from Greater Philadelphia, Mid-Atlantic, and Northeastern US to Wiggins Park, which offers convenient access via public transportation, two waterfront stages in natural amphitheaters that produce great sound, lawn seating, and riverfront promenades that offer spectacular views of the Delaware River and Philadelphia skyline. In addition to its variety of artists, amenities that include free non-alcoholic beverages and an artist meet-and-greet area for WXPN members, a children’s activities area, and extensive food, beverage, and other vendor selections make the festival an enjoyable experience for music lovers of all ages.
