ALT 104.5 WINTER JAWN

Written By Jonah van Bemmelen

Alt 104.5 Winter Jawn, Xfinity Live, Philadelphia, PA. 2/21/26.

This past Saturday, Philadelphia’s alternative music fans gathered under unusually pleasant late-winter skies at Stateside Live! for ALT 104.5’s Winter Jawn 2026. The free outdoor concert tradition brought high energy, community, and lots of live music to South Philly.

 

The original lineup featured performances by Lit, The Paradox, Bike Routes, John Faye, and Emo Night Brooklyn DJ sets with Alex Mac. The Paradox ended up having to cancel, but Aaron West & The Roaring Twenties stepped in last-minute and helped save the day.

 

Over the course of the afternoon, fans enjoyed live performances spanning alternative, punk, and indie sounds. Throughout the show there was plenty of moshing and crowd surfing as people danced and connected with the music.

 

Overall, Winter Jawn 2026 lived up to its reputation as one of Philly’s favorite winter music traditions: free, loud, and unforgettable.
