[ATTENDED: October 15, 2026] Midfield
When this show was announced as part of Philly Music Week, I grabbed a ticket immediately. Three of the four bands were bands I had either seen or wanted to see. The only band I didn’t know was Midfield.
Turns out they are a pop punk band from Philly. Their songs are catchy and a lot of fun. The band was great and their singer Matt Kelly has a strong deeper voice but he occasionally adds a falsetto.
I wasn’t clear how many people knew them, although there were two guys standing next to me who knew all of their songs really well. There was also a mosh pit but only a few solo dudes were dancing in it.
They played seven songs in 30 minutes and if the guys next to me were an indication, the last song is their biggest. I really enjoyed them, as pop punk is my latest jam and I’d happily see them again.
