Nothing and Mannequin Pussy will ring in 2022 at Franklin Music Hall to benefit Prevention Point
Finally: a New Year’s Eve show for the punks. While there’s no shortage of awesome music-related parties for Philly to ring in 2022, there hasn’t — until now — been a gig for those who lean towards the louder end of the sonic spectrum. But after separately headlining Union Transfer this fall, Philly heavy shoegazers Nothing and cathartic rockers Mannequin Pussy will play New Year’s Eve at Franklin Music Hall, with DJ Sister Friend spinning and a special guest TBA.
Even better than the energy of the show is the cause it’s advocating for. The concert will be a benefit for Prevention Point Philadelphia — the harm reduction non-profit that works to promote health, empowerment and safety for communities affected by drug use and poverty.
Tickets are on sale now, more information can be found at the XPN Concert Calendar. Listen to recent faves by Nothing and MP below.
