After being coined by The New Yorker as having “the Colgate white glisten of sixties girl group pop combined with an uncensored edge” for their acclaimed debut album, Habibi broke boundaries by introducing Farsi-sung tunes on their EP ‘Cardamom Garden’ that “shed rigid definitions of what constitutes American music” (Pitchfork). In 2020, a month before the world drastically changed, ‘Anywhere But Here’, the group’s prophetic sophomore album was released, prompting NPR’s Robin Hilton to call them a “noir girl-group.” As the world starts to re-emerge and awaken, the summer of 2021 is boding to be a hot one and Habibi is ready to dance.

All free tickets will be released the Monday prior to the next weekend’s concerts. Free tickets will be available on the Levitt Pavilion SteelStacks website or by visiting or calling the ArtsQuest Center Box Office, (610) 332-3378. An individual may reserve up to two pods per Levitt season concert. One ticket for a Levitt lawn pod is good for up to four people. One ticket for a table located on the Air Products Town Square is also good for up to four people. A ticket for a pod on the Levitt Lawn will be considered “unused” and will be released to the public for walk-ups if not scanned in by 15 minutes after the start of each show. Visit the “What to Know” page on levittsteelstacks.org for more information about policies and procedures.
