Philadelphia concerts are a lot like Philly cheesesteaks: worth savoring. That’s no doubt in large part due to the city’s landmark concert venues, which attract top stars all year long. At the Electric Factory, Philadelphia has moshed to the Dropkick Murphys and grooved to Erykah Badu. The Kimmel Center, meanwhile, hosts jazz shows so electric, they just might inspire concert-goers to take up music lessons themselves. (That’s the best-case scenario; the flip side is that they might also forget how to behave themselves at a concert, smartphone etiquette and all.)
