The backstory:
SNACKTIME originally started with free shows in Philadelphia's Rittenhouse Square.
When crowds grew so large that events were shut down, the group moved to indoor venues, where they sold over 900 tickets to their debut headlining show.
Since then, they have sold out headliners, played major music festivals like Boston Calling, Newport Folk, Roots Picnic, and Sea.Hear.Now., and supported national tours for Portugal. The Man, Fitz and The Tantrums, and Electric Guest.
This year, SNACKTIME embarked on their first headlining tour, performing at events including Lollapalooza, Okeechobee, Hudson River, and Winnipeg Folk festivals. The band is also preparing their debut album, produced by Justin Lucas.
Pairing performance with PrismaPhonik

The concert takes place August 14 at Spruce Street Harbor Park, with PrismaPhonik—an art and sound installation—featured throughout the park. PrismaPhonik includes 12 colorful prisms that light up and emit layered sounds from classical symphonic masterpieces performed by SNACKTIME.
PrismaPhonik is described as a glowing labyrinth where each prism represents a different orchestra musician and lights up while playing music as people move through the space. The experience is immersive, making it feel as though you are "in" the music, creating a unique blend of live performance and interactive art.
Details about the specific set list SNACKTIME will perform and the exact schedule for the event have not been disclosed. It is also not clear when the group’s debut album will be released.
