Last week, Kentucky-born rapper Jack Harlow travelled to DC on tour for his newly-released album Monica and performed at The Anthem, his first concert in the city in six years.

Gipsy Kings, featuring original frontman Nicolas Reyes, took stage at Vienna’s Filene Center at the Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts last Sunday in a crisp and lighthearted night at the venue.

My “Hometown Hero” Jack Harlow is making his way to D.C. this Tuesday, Aug. 25.

This past Tuesday, I spent the evening likely the closest I’ll ever be to an A-List actor watching alternative rock band Dogstar perform at the 9:30 Club.

A gentleman at heart, I thought from the start. You opened the cafe door and turned on the charm, inviting me into the safety of your arms.

With questions circulating about the future of Houndmouth, their show at The Anthem on Friday, Aug. 7, felt less like the band coming to D.C. and more like the band coming to Jesus.

As Lord Huron wrapped up the tour for their fifth studio album The Cosmic Selector Vol. 1 (2025) at The Anthem on Aug. 2, the band offered concertgoers the ultimate D.C. dream: an escape from reality. With the album’s central concept—a surreal, 1960s-style jukebox—Lord Huron transported the crowd into a world of alternative timelines and parallel universes.

Alternative rock band Dogstar is taking the stage at the 9:30 Club following the release of their newest album, All In Now.

Passion Pit, the indietronica band led by Michael Angelakos, returned to the 9:30 Club last week.

Oh, Lordy—buckle up! Houndmouth is on the road again, this time touring their newly released album, Lordy.
