WXPN, the non-commercial, member-supported radio station of the University of Pennsylvania, has again teamed up with promoter Live Nation to present performances at BB&T Pavilion on the Camden, New Jersey waterfront as part of WXPN's annual XPoNential Music Festival presented by Subaru. Performing on Saturday night July 28, 2018 at the BB&T Pavilion will be The War On Drugs, Sturgill Simpson and Preservation Hall Jazz Band.

This will be the third appearance for the popular band The War On Drugs, who played the festival in 2008 and 2012. 2018 will mark the third consecutive year that Preservation Hall Jazz Band has played the event, and the first appearance by Sturgill Simpson, whose album A Sailor's Guide to Earth won the GRAMMY for Best Country Album earlier this year.

The 2018 XPoNential Music Festival will take place Friday, July 27 through Sunday, July 29 at BB&T Pavilion and the adjacent Wiggins Waterfront Park. Reserved and lawn tickets for the Saturday, July 28 concert will go on sale to the general public this Friday, December 15 at 10 AM through Ticketmaster.com, the BB&T Pavilion box office, Ticketmaster outlets or by phone at 800-745-3000.

The XPoNential Music Festival presented by Subaru is WXPN's signature annual concert event that draws audiences from throughout the Greater Philadelphia area, Mid-Atlantic region, and Northeastern US. Now in its 14th year at Wiggins Park and 7th year at the adjacent BB&T Pavilion, WXPN produces the XPoNential Music Festival in partnership with the Camden County Board of Freeholders. The festival features the expertly curated mix of established and new artists enjoyed by WXPN members and listeners. The preferred summer music event is known for convenient access via public transportation, natural amphitheaters that produce great sound, plenty of activities for kids, extensive food, drink and vendor selections, and festival seating and riverfront promenades that offer spectacular views of the Delaware River and Philadelphia skyline.

The complete lineup of artists performing at the festival will be announced and more details will follow at a future date.
