Celebrating Penn’s Homecoming Weekend! 

An indie superstar makes his Penn Live Arts debut! Widely regarded as one of the major music influencers of his generation, singer/songwriter and pianist Ben Folds has created an enormous body of work that spans pop albums with Ben Folds Five, solo releases, compositions for film/tv and more, with hits including “Brick,” “Rockin’ the Suburbs” and “The Luckiest.” With his signature charm, stirring melodies and cleverly brilliant lyrics, Folds makes a rare, one-night-only appearance in Philadelphia. This performance will feature an opening act by special guest Lindsey Kraft.

Ben takes audience requests! Here's how it works:

  1. Come to the show
  2. Write down a song request on the provided paper
  3. Fold it into an airplane
  4. Launch it on cue

Ben Folds is a special event and no discounts will be offered.
