HoagieNation

[1] Being described by Daryl Hall, HoagieNation is "a wonderful and colorful place where the citizens are united by a love of cold meat and Amoroso's rolls".

The festival has featured many artists, in addition to Hall & Oates, that are local to Philadelphia, including G. Love & Special Sauce, Tommy Conwell & The Young Rumblers, the Soul Survivors, and many others.

It was announced in 2019 that Festival Pier was "on sabbatical", according to Geoff Gordon, of Live Nation, which many took as a sign the venue was closed for good.

Guests planned to appear included Daryl Hall & John Oates, Squeeze, Kool & the Gang, The Hooters, Blues Traveler, Low Cut Connie, Melanie Fiona, Natalie Price, the Soul Survivors, and Down North.

[6] Festivities held as part of HogieNation have included a Hoagie Happy Hour sponsored by Dietz & Watson,[7] a WIP Hoagie Eating Contest,[8] a pre-party held the night before the 2018 festival,[9] and visits from many local Philadelphia food trucks and restaurants to serve area food staples.
