Our Rich History
The Dell has been providing world-class entertainment to Philadelphians for the past 39 years. It is a municipally-funded and operated amphitheatre, established to provide high-quality, diverse, cultural entertainment inside the community at an affordable cost.
The Dell has hosted many nationally and internationally prominent artists. These legendary performances have included everyone from musical icons like Dizzy Gillespie, Ella Fitzgerald, Bill Cosby, Billy Eckstine and Sarah Vaughn; to classic soul singers like Patti Labelle, The Whispers, Frankie Beverly, Jill Scott and Teena Marie.
Native Philadelphians have a long-standing love affair with the Dell. Many have attended summer concerts in the park since they were small children and have since introduced new generations of friends and family members to the venue. The Dell is most popular among our thousands of season ticket holders. These customers enjoy the unique benefits of season membership like guaranteed (same) premium seating for all eight Essence of Entertainment summer shows, and no ticket surcharges on all season tickets purchased at the Dell Box Office.
