Make The World Better Benefit w/Kurt Vile, The Districts & More at Union Transfer June 20

Connor Barwin’s Make The World Better Foundation, R5 Productions, and WXPN host a special fundraiser for the revitalization of Ralph Brooks Park in South Philly tonight. The big project will feature a state of the art basketball court, an urban farm, and a mural made by renowned artist, Steve “ESPO” Powers. The show features a stellar lineup that includes a headlining set from “constant hitmaker” Kurt Vile & his Violators. Vile will be joined by our most recent Philly Best Emerging Artist of the Year Poll Winners, The Districts, who have had a breakout year with their Fat Possum release and hefty touring schedule, which includes stints with Dr. Dog and White Denim. Rounding out the lineup will be Houston’s The Tontons. Union Transfer, 1026 Spring Garden St., 9pm, $25 – $300, All Ages – Bill McThrill
