This event was suppose to be held outside at FDR park but, due to flooding had to be moved to The Liacouras Center at Temple University. The bands were amazing but, the staff at The Liacouras Center were awful! They were rude, didn't understand that this was suppose to be a festival where people should be free to roam, and the food vendors were not allowed to sell inside and everything was WAY over priced!!!! If this event is held here next year, I will not be going. It should have been held at the Mann Music Center instead.

The Popped! music festival was moved from FDR park to the Temple campus due to rain and flooding concerns. The line-up went from three stages to one and a number of performers were cancelled. This was an unfortunate situation for the festival. The venue left much to be desired. Floor access was difficult, though seating around the stage was fine. The venue also stopped selling beer 2-3 prior to the last band going on stage. Come on!

I believe that the Popped Music Festival would have been a bigger success had it been outdoors as it was planned. I was disappointed in the staff, the location, and the rules set forth by the Liacouras Center. There was one point in the show where I left to use the bathroom and the usher informed me that I was not allowed to return to the pit where all of my friends were because there was only 15 minutes left. I would not have had a problem with this if he had informed me on my way out but he neglected to do so. The only reason I have given this event 3 stars is because of the performances that were seen. My friends and I made the best of the situation as I am sure the bands did as well. If they do this event in the future I only hope that they pick a location outdoors that they are not afraid of getting ruined during bad weather. I paid for a festival which was supposed to be a relaxing time outdoors with music, comedy, and good food and instead got a poorly planned and executed indoor concert with terrible lines and poor security.

POPPED! had a great mix of groups- some of whom I've never heard of and now who I listen to constantly. Time flew by and before we knew it, we were there 8 hours. Such a great time!

Granted, the whole event had to be moved on short notice because of the weather. But regardless, there were certain aspects of it that could have been a lot better.
I went on Saturday only and haven't heard anything about how Friday night was. I arrived as I think Rakim was finishing up... and then had to somehow live through Kreayshawn. For a radio 104.5 event, the artist should have been chosen a lot better. Kreayshawn was beyond horrible and Rakim didn't sound so good from the little I heard either.
Overall the crowd was rather blah. Even when Girl Talk and Pretty Lights played there wasn't much dancing to be had. The crowd was generally older than I expected but still I think it could have been much much more lively.

Once the headliners came on, re-entry to the floor was not allowed even though there was plenty of room left for more people down there. Despite that, the event staff were extremely nice and for some reason we were personally escorted back to the floor after getting much needed water. This was the one redeeming part of the night.

Despite it being indoors, the bands did great: Cage the Elephant, Foster the People, Girl Talk & Pretty Lights made it worth the trip down there. I didn't like no re-entry, so I could not enjoy the food trucks or that they didn't serving beer til 3pm on Saturday.

I was able to attend this event both nights. I had trouble finding my hotel and arrived late on friday. I really enjoyed Cage the Elephant that night. Saturday was there before they opened the doors, am so thankful that F'real was giving out milkshakes. Made for a good breakfast. I bought VIP tickets but entered through general admission both days and after talking to the right person I had no problem getting my bracelet to enter the VIP section. The shows on saturday were really awesome and definately compensated for the change of venue. Patty Crash was great, Budos Band<-- thumbs up. Zee Avi great music. Sun Airway suprisingly good. Kreayshawn worth the wait for sure. I stood in the front row for 6 hours waiting for her. Unfortunately my pictures didn't turn out that great because of my choice of camera. Should have went with the digital for inside. Girl Talk and Pretty Lights show were utterly mindblowing! The shows were great I had a blast!

The artists they had at POPPED! Music Festival were amazing. Was introduced to some new bands earlier in the day before headlining performances went on.
Big props to Foster the People for just an astonishing set. Thought Girl Talk was just simply great too. Really got the crowd going and I felt like I were at a rave or something.
Don't like electronic music too much but Pretty Lights was decent too.

comedy? food? music? only one of these 3 things actually happened, and half the acts were missing. I got an email saying the venue had changed and figured it wasn't a big deal-- they'd still honor my tickets. but I didn't realize that meant I'd only get to experience about 1/3 of the actual event. Would've been nice to know what I was getting into.

The Popped Music Festival should have taken place outdoors as it was originally intended. The acts were great, but each act played really short sets. If the event happens again in the future, they should have several stages and multiple acts playing at the same time. Also, the Liacouras Center is a terrible place to spend 8 hours on a Saturday!!
Overall, it lacked the festival feel.

The first 2 bands got cut for some reason which sucked because i wanted to see one of them. The day went by pretty fast although another downfall was the food selection was horrible! The last 4 acts were unreal! the whole place was a giant dance party!

This was not what I paid for and it was a totally different experience than what I was expecting. They should have moved the event to another date rather than an indoor stadium. They cancelled so many parts of the festival that should have happened and didn't make up for it at all.

Overall, my only complaint was that I was not allowed re-entry into the concert. Since it was an all day event, i was not able to see all the bands, or even half, since I did not want to be in the arena the entire day. I understand it was relocated due to weather, but re- entry should have been allowed. Thank you.

This festival's change in venue completely changed the atmosphere for the worst. Some acts were completely absent from the new lineup, food bazaars were no longer there, and I felt like I was trapped.
