Beta Hi-Fi

This event is FREE, no tickets required!

Beta Hi-Fi is World Cafe Liveʼs FREE multi-day emerging music festival featuring some of the Philly regionʼs best new artists! Spanning from July 24- 27, we continue the tradition of providing a platform for local musicians to perform for a broader audience. Each night, three hand-picked artists will perform a 20-30 minute set to a rotating panel of judges from the Philly music scene. The winning artist from each night will return Saturday to compete for cash and other career-boosting prizes.

Beta Hi-Fi serves as a showcase for industry professionals and fans alike. Whether youʼre an artist, friend, family, or just a music lover, come hang out and discover new music!

JUDGES: Oaks Korogodsky (The Side Chicks – 2023 Beta Hi Fi winner), Katie Hackett (The Lunar Year), Dan Drago (25 O’Clock Podcast), John Vettese (WXPN)
