As we approach the 100 year anniversary of its existence, Philadelphia’s iconic outdoor music venue is due for a huge makeover. The Dell Music Center is now scheduled for major renovations to take place.

A small gathering was held outside the venue with public officials, media members and members of the community to celebrate the projected $6.9 million dollar expansion of The Dell Music Center. There were concepts of the venue’s remodel on display for people to see what the venue will  replicate in due time. Renovations will include a new stage as well as a amphitheater roof to enhance acoustics.

Different members of the community as well as public figures went up to the podium to give their well wishes on the project and best memories of the Dell Music Center. Broadcasting legend and Classix 107.9’s own Lady B gave her sentiments on the venue and how it’s existence, more importantly, it’s affordability, has contributed to the longevity of the musical arts movement in Philadelphia.

 

“It’s a small price to pay for such a major cause. The fact that the Dell is affordable to our community is what I love about it the most.” Lady B said.  “If you look around at ticket prices today, some of us would have to literally mortgage our homes to make sure that our children receive quality entertainment, not the case with the Dell.”

This is a place where people come to experience a great time,:” Susan Slawson,  General Manager of the Dell Music Center, explained, “This just allows people to come in and experience a better time and let them know we care about what you’re walking into.”

Officials expected to start live music at the Dell this summer.
