Festival Pier is synonymous with live outdoor music in Philly and will be the perfect home for our monthly free concerts."

The station was forced to find a new venue after being kicked-out of the its previous location the Piazza  at Schmidt's in the Northern Liberties section of the city. Nearby residents were outraged after they say an out of control party in early May featured intoxicated teens having public sex and urinating on the street.  Many claimed there was lack of security and Kushner Companies, the owner of the Piazza, placed the blame on Clear Channel.
