The Trocadero Theatre, a 138-year-old, 1,200-person Victorian venue, has gone through many incarnations in its time on Arch Street–hosting vaudeville, burlesque, movies and, since 1996, pop music.

“The Troc” has long been known as a place to discover local Philly bands, but as the surrounding Market East neighborhood has transformed into a more desirable location in recent years, the lineup has leaned towards national acts.

The still-quite-diverse list of upcoming shows includes everyone from dance pop duo Chromeo to Swedish heavy metal act Opeth and Bow Wow as Shad Moss. (Wait, Bow has yet another alternate persona?)

Local hipsters get more excited about low-key weekday activities at the Troc’s smaller balcony space, including free movies on Mondays, along with Guitar Hero contests and $2 beers.
