Giant Rooks

At Union Transfer

Center City, Philadelphia

Two lots behind the venue fill fast at sold-out shows; arrive early to park, one reviewer advises.
Reviewers praise the upstairs balcony for sightlines over the floor crowd; it is first come, first served.
A reviewer notes the merch booth sits right at entry, with bag check and security inside.

A former Reading Railroad luggage transfer station sets the stage for German indie outfit Giant Rooks, who bring pop and rock tracks like Wild Stare and Watershed to Union Transfer for one night.

Saturday, November 14, 8:00 PM

$31-$52
