I can only speak for Philly (since it is in my backyard), but here is a partial list. The complete list is something like 40 acts at 20 minutes apiece. I think the equipment trucks alone will take up half of downtown Philly. Tickets started at $35 and went on sale at a moments notice. They sold out in 5 hours and scalpers are getting near $100 already. Well here goes a list. Will someone with more info fill it in. I may have confused a few performers. There is also a concert on July 4 in Philly with Eric Clapton and Joan Jett. Then there is some benefit for the victims of the MOVE incident with a bunch of named people (Bill Cosby and David Brenner). I think I am already confused. Gee, Philadelphia is going to be a hot place to be for the next few weeks. Cyndi Lauper The Hooters David Bowie Hall and Oates Ashford and Simpson Bryan Adams Til' Tuesday The Beach Boys Duran Duran Phil Collins (playing both shows! - courtesy of a Concorde SST) ...I lost track...sorry...think of your favorite musician, he/she/they'll be there.
