Deadmau5, All-American Rejects, Bebe Rexha, and more are headed to FIFA Fan Festival
With 10 days and eight nations remaining in the World Cup, Fan Fest's commitment to remain open for the full 39 days of the tournament includes four concerts starting Sunday.
The World Cup may have moved on from Philadelphia, and the United States may have bowed out of the tournament, but the FIFA Fan Festival in Lemon Hill is bringing in events designed to keep the party going.
As 10 days and eight nations remain in the World Cup, the Fan Festival’s commitment to remain open for the full 39 days of the tournament begins Sunday with four concerts, including pop star Bebe Rexha (July 17) and world-renowned electronic DJ Deadmau5 on July 16.
Typically, a Deadmau5 ticket starts at $85, according to secondary market sites. His concert, and the others, are free; fans just need to register on FIFA’s Fan Festival website for a daily ticket. Access into the festival is on a first-come, first-served basis with a max capacity of 15,000 people.
“Deadmau5 has shaped electronic music with his level of production and technicality. Bringing his unique live performance style to FIFA Fan Festival Philadelphia is something special,” Michael DelBene, executive producer of FIFA Fan Festival in Philadelphia, said. “We truly believe there is something in this lineup for everyone and we hope to see visitors and Philadelphians alike come out and join us at Lemon Hill for their favorite act.”
In addition to Deadmau5 and Rexha, singer-songwriter Wisin performs on Sunday, followed by the return of the All-American Rejects, a pop-punk band that was one of the early acts at the Fan Festival on June 13.
With the World Cup set to end July 19, DelBene and Philadelphia Soccer 2026 noted that there could be further acts to come in addition to local artists, “cultural organizations, and community groups.”
