Danny Wimmer, head of Danny Wimmer Presents, recently discussed the festival’s return with the media. He discussed not only the festival’s return but its expansion to two days this year and expectations in general for this year’s event. “When we came to Philadelphia last year, we knew there was a demand for this kind of festival in the market, but the response exceeded our expectations,” he said. Growing to two days in our second year was an obvious decision, and we’re looking forward to giving fans an even better experience in 2016.”
Geoff Gordon is President of Live Nation Philadelphia. He echoed Wimmer’s sentiments in his thoughts on the festival’s return. “Last year’s Monster Energy Rock Allegiance was a huge success on so many levels,” he said. “We were proud to bring this venue their first ever concert; a record-setting, sold out smash hit. The audience had such a great time enjoying a unique experience of music and lifestyle — we knew in 2016 we could turn it up a notch!”
