Friends! James Haro and Kat Siciliano are pleased to announce a special show for the 2026 Philadelphia Fringe Festival - AN ACOUSTIC POP PUNK SING-ALONG – and Tickets are ON SALE NOW! Go to the Linktr.ee in the Going Acoustic bio 🔗

After their head-banging time at Quig’s with the Green Day Sing-Along in April, they decided to make a Pop Punk night of fun for the Philly Fringe. Come out Sunday, September 27th for a hand-picked hour of songs, from classic thumping, raging hits of old to the heart-on-your-sleeve, scream-it-in-your-bedroom bops of the recent past. Also, this time around the show is taking place in the 1st floor gallery at DVAA. Fringe audiences will enjoy the hooks and melodies reverberating from within the walls of the historic three-floor row home in the Bella Vista neighborhood. Bring your voice to the Fringe and we’ll sing it out loud!

50% of all proceeds will be donated to Da Vinci Art Alliance.

Run Time: 60 mins
Ticket Price: $10-20
PWYC Options $5+

September 27th @ 6:00 pm
704 Catharine Street
