Also new this week: two songs that stand out beyond the album calendar. Victony and Summer Walker linked with Don Toliver on the “SLICK (Remix),” and Statik Selektah pulled together Ab-Soul, Raekwon and Freddie Gibbs for “Champagne Wishes.” Worth a spin on their own.

The fall calendar is getting crowded, and a few newly confirmed dates bring big choices for Tri-State music fans. Philadelphia has a steady run of hip-hop and R&B from October into Thanksgiving weekend, Baltimore gets a pair of Jodeci dates and Doja Cat with Latto, and Newark’s Rock The Bells closes out November with a deep, multi-generation lineup.

One date deserves special attention: Doja Cat’s Philadelphia show and Rock The Bells in Newark are both listed for Sunday, November 29. They’re in different cities at the same time, so fans will need to choose their night.

Here’s the current rundown from Power JDM The Beat. Listings can change, so check the venue’s current event page before making plans.

Philadelphia’s schedule starts quickly, with JPEGMAFIA at the Fillmore on October 20, then a busy November that moves between arena shows, independent rooms and a Thanksgiving-weekend arena date.

  • Tuesday, October 20-JPEGMAFIA with redveil and Matt Proxy, the Fillmore Philadelphia, Philadelphia. The event is listed for 7:30 PM. Live Nation event details.
  • Monday, November 2-Chief Keef, the Fillmore Philadelphia, Philadelphia. The event is listed for 8 PM. Live Nation event details.

  • Thursday, November 12-Victoria Monét, the Met Philadelphia, Philadelphia. The show is listed for 8 PM as part of the Frequency of Love Tour. Live Nation event details.
  • Friday, November 13 and Saturday, November 14-A Boogie Wit da Hoodie, the Liacouras Center, Philadelphia. Both dates are listed for the 10 Years of Artist shows. Live Nation event details.
  • Tuesday, November 17-Pi’erre Bourne, Brooklyn Bowl Philadelphia, Philadelphia. The venue lists doors at 7 PM and the show at 8 PM. Brooklyn Bowl event details.

  • Sunday, November 29-Doja Cat with Latto, Xfinity Mobile Arena, Philadelphia. Doors are listed for 6:30 PM and the show for 7:30 PM. Official venue event page.

Two dates from the wider Philadelphia calendar need an extra check before they’re treated as confirmed. JoJo is listed for the Theatre of Living Arts on November 17, but the listing could not be confirmed in the venue results reviewed. Action Bronson is listed for Franklin Music Hall on November 19, but that date also needs direct venue confirmation. Check the TLA’s official listings and Franklin Music Hall’s calendar before making plans.

One schedule change to know: 6LACK’s November 27 show at the Fillmore Philadelphia has been marked canceled in current ticket listings. An older tour page may still appear in searches, so don’t rely on that page alone for the show’s status.

New Jersey

Atlantic City brings two R&B dates, while Newark hosts one of the month’s biggest hip-hop gatherings.

  • Friday, November 6-Babyface, the Tropicana Showroom, Atlantic City. The date appears on ticket and concert listings; check the Tropicana’s official site for the latest venue information.
  • Friday, November 27-Kem, the Borgata Event Center, Atlantic City. The Borgata Event Center page has venue information; confirm the event listing and ticket status there before setting out.
  • Sunday, November 29-Rock The Bells Festival 2026, Prudential Center, Newark. Doors are listed for 6 PM, with the show at 7 PM. The announced lineup includes LL COOL J, SWV, Method Man and Redman, Lil’ Kim, Kool G Rap, Kwamé, Onyx, Papoose, Raekwon and Ghostface Killah, Roxanne Shanté, Shyne, Sugarhill Gang, The Furious Five, Treach of Naughty by Nature, and a D-Nice-curated Club Quarantine set featuring David Banner, LeToya Luckett, The LOX and Rapsody. The lineup is subject to change. Prudential Center’s official event page.

That Newark festival lands on the same night as Doja Cat’s Philadelphia show. The two venues list start times only 30 minutes apart, and the cities are not next door to each other. Fans considering either date should plan for one show rather than trying to catch both.

Maryland

Before You Go

Confirm the date, start time, ticket status and age requirements on the venue’s current event page before traveling. Check whether the listed time means doors or showtime, especially for multi-act bills. Buy directly from the venue or its official ticketing partner when possible, and be careful with resale links shared through unfamiliar accounts or unsolicited messages. For Jodeci, note the separate Bensalem and Baltimore dates; for Doja Cat, note the Baltimore and Philadelphia dates.

Radio Talking Points

  • Philly’s packed November-5 to 7 minutes: Run through the quick succession of shows, from Slum Village and Pete Rock to Victoria Monét and A Boogie. Ask listeners what makes a city’s independent venues important alongside arena dates.
  • Producer legacy and live hip-hop-5 to 8 minutes: Use the Slum Village and Pete Rock bill to talk about production styles, Detroit’s hip-hop history and how classic catalogs reach newer audiences.
  • Two Jodeci stops, two different rooms-5 to 7 minutes: Compare the Bensalem and Baltimore dates. Talk about the group’s R&B legacy and how anniversary tours bring longtime fans and younger listeners together.
  • The November 29 choice-7 to 10 minutes: Doja Cat in Philadelphia and Rock The Bells in Newark are on the same night. Put the Rock The Bells lineup into context, then let the conversation turn to which show fans would choose and why.
  • Baltimore’s changing sound-5 to 8 minutes: Pair Earl Sweatshirt and MIKE with BBYMUTHA, Chance the Rapper and Doja Cat. Discuss the range of styles and audiences represented across the city’s fall calendar.
