The citywide film and music festival is back for four days packed with performances by more than 100 artists. Events are scattered across the city, with higher concentrations in the NoLibs/Fishtown area (sorry Passyunk crowd, you’re close enough to Popped! this weekend). Check back with us tomorrow for more coverage; but for now, our list looks like this: Deadmau5 (Friday at Penn’s Landing), The Cocktail Slippers (Friday at Kung Fu Necktie), Birdie Busch (Sunday at the Ukie Club.), Murder by Death (Sunday at World Cafe Live) and the Dead Milkmen (Saturday at Penn’s Landing).
