NPR Music Presents: Tiny Desk Contest On The Road 2025

This is an All Ages Event. Doors open at 6:00 PM. All support acts are subject to change without notice. NPR Music?s Tiny Desk Contest is heading back on the road! Join us this summer as we travel to 10 cities for a one-of-a-kind concert. New this year, each stop will feature a different surprise Tiny Desk alum headliner, plus the 2025 Contest winner, Ruby Ibarra, and an up-and-coming artist from each city. For Philadelphia, the opener is De Tierra Caliente. Hailing from the Bay Area, Ruby Ibarra is a rapper, spoken word artist and director with a commanding presence. Her winning Tiny Desk Contest entry, "Bakunawa," which was inspired by the birth of her first child and Philippine mythology, is an intergenerational collaboration with Filipina artists that spans both genres and languages.
