From a press release:

While the next Camp Bisco hasn’t been announced yet, Philadelphia jam band and festival founders The Disco Biscuits will return to Northeastern Pennsylvania to perform at the Sherman Theater in Stroudsburg on Friday, March 4.

Doors at open at 7 p.m., and the all-ages concert starts at 8 p.m.

Tickets, which are $40 in advance or $45 at the door, are on sale now at the Sherman Theater box office (524 Main St., Stroudsburg) and online via shermantheater.com and Etix.

The Disco Biscuits are an entirely different band today than they were when they first broke out of Philadelphia in the mid-1990s. That’s not to say that they’ve abandoned their foundations, switched gears entirely, or set sail for distant shores.

They are still very much the trailblazers of “trancefusion” that they’ve always been, bridging the gap between electronic music and jam bands. They remain rock pioneers whose soul belongs as much to marathon dance parties as it does to live improvisational journeys. They still employ emerging technologies to help them create music that is 100 percent human, although perhaps not entirely of this Earth.

The Disco Biscuits’ annual music festival, Camp Bisco, came to The Pavilion at Montage Mountain and the adjacent Montage Mountain Waterpark in 2015 and made a permanent home in Scranton. 2020 would have been the 18th annual event, but it was canceled due to the pandemic, so they played back-to-back drive-in concerts in the Montage parking lot instead. Camp Bisco was canceled again in 2021; in its place, the band opted to bring their City Bisco event back to The Mann Center for the Performing Arts in Philly that same weekend, promising that Camp Bisco would return in 2022.
