The Dell continues summer tradition with Essence of Entertainment series - The Dell Music Center

IMPORTANT NOTICE:

Due to the hazardous air quality conditions affecting our region as a result of the ongoing Canadian wildfires, Praise Under the Stars, scheduled for Saturday, July 18, 2026, at 7:00 PM at the Dell Music Center, has been postponed out of an abundance of caution.

The safety and well-being of our guests, artists, vendors, and staff remain our highest priority. While we are disappointed to postpone this special event, we believe it is the responsible decision given the current environmental conditions.

A new concert date will be announced as soon as possible. All previously purchased tickets will be honored for the rescheduled event.

We sincerely appreciate your understanding, patience, and continued support of the Dell Music Center. Please stay safe, and we look forward to welcoming you back soon.

For Philadelphians who watched clips from New Orleans’ Ernest N. Morial Convention Center over Fourth of July weekend and wished they had been inside Essence Festival, the city has its own version much closer to home in Strawberry Mansion.
