The Dillinger Escape Plan, with Pyrrhon and Caged, perform at Underground Arts as part of the Philly Music Fest 2026.
The Dillinger Escape Plan play Underground Arts on Thursday, October 15, as part of the Philly Music Fest 2026. They're the headliner of a three-band bill that includes Pyrrhon and Caged, and the whole night is presented by Philly Music Fest and Rising Sun. For a band that usually plays larger stages, this is billed as a rare small-venue performance, so you'll be close to the front rather than watching from the back of a hall.
If you're not familiar with them, The Dillinger Escape Plan are known for volatile energy and technical mathcore precision. It's music that shifts gears without warning, and they've built their reputation on that kind of unpredictable, high-tension live show. This is a rare chance to see them in a room this size.
The show is part of the 10th anniversary edition of Philly Music Fest, the non-profit festival that runs from October 12 to 18. The festival supports musicians and children, and this date is one of the many performances they've put together across the city for the anniversary.

There's a full evening of music here, not just the headliner. Caged opens the night at 8 PM, followed by Pyrrhon at 8:50 PM, with The Dillinger Escape Plan taking the stage at 9:40 PM. If you want to catch all three, get there early; if you're only in it for the main act, 9:40 PM is when the headliner starts. The venue is Underground Arts, 1200 Callowhill St, in Philadelphia.
