New Music Concert Series Presented By Wizard World Comic Con Debuts With Grimes In Philadelphia June 3rd At The Electric Factory

About Grimes
Grimes, the multimedia project of Canadian artist Claire Boucher, will kick off the live concert series at the Electric Factory in Philadelphia on June 3. Her new album 'Art Angels' had prime placement on basically every 2015 End of Year list, with No. 1 spots from NME, Stereogum, Gorilla Vs. Bear and others. Jon Pareles of the New York Times called the album "a solo tour de force," Stereogum said, "In 2015, nothing sounded better" and Rolling Stone called it a "triumph." Time Magazine named "Flesh Without Blood" the No. 1 song of the year while iTunes named 'Art Angels' the No. 1 Indie Album of 2015 and it finished out the year at No.1 most added on CMJ Radio. In 2015 alone, she graced the covers of The FADER, Nylon, Dazed and Confused, NME, Flare and more. She is currently featured in Vanity Fair's Disrupters portfolio alongside Michael B. Jordan, Spike Jonze, Dakota Johnson and A$AP Rocky. She is currently on the cover of the UK's AnOther Magazine.
