King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard @ The Anthem [DC] - 10/24/2022
At their sold-out Anthem show in DC, the band played songs from nine of their 23 albums, a blistering two-hour set that highlighted the many reasons fans flocked to the band in the first place.
![Phoenix @ The Anthem [DC] - 9/16/2022](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6350538c4e985848148c1691/1669656231654-NH8JODKCEEFSQXYMP0GY/Phoenix_TheAnthem_MauricioCastro_20220916-6.jpg)
Phoenix @ The Anthem [DC] - 9/16/2022
Phoenix not only has a thing for earworms, but also eye-catching visuals. For their tour supporting 2017’s Ti Amo, the French band performed underneath a massive mirror tilted towards the crowd while standing atop a video screen that reflected outwards.
![CHVRCHES @ Anthem [DC] - 11/31/21](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6350538c4e985848148c1691/1669657928239-9QVCX8O8OM4DG94YFRFQ/CHVRCHES%28%C2%A9%EF%B8%8F2021+Hailey+Collins%29-4.jpg)
CHVRCHES @ Anthem [DC] - 11/31/21
CHVRCHES is back on tour for their 4th studio album, Screen Violence. Their new era puts an 80’s horror movie twist on their signature bright synth-pop style. Just after Thanksgiving, CHVRCHES brought the Screen Violence Tour to a packed crowd at The Anthem.
![Sylvan Esso @ The Anthem [DC] - 11/11/2021](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6350538c4e985848148c1691/1669659071326-ZS9ODYIIZBBDASJYHVP0/SylvanEsso_TheAnthem-20.jpg)
Sylvan Esso @ The Anthem [DC] - 11/11/2021
As you may already know, we’re big fans of Sylvan Esso here. And their latest stop in DC doesn’t really change that. Amelia Meath and Nick Sanborn continue to explore the space between the electronic and the organic, both in their latest album, 2020’s Free Love, and in their spartan but spectacular live performance.
![Marc Rebillet @ The Anthem [DC] - 10/16/21](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6350538c4e985848148c1691/1669659632855-H0KODPUVGZXAPQTK7BUS/MarcRebillet_TheAnthem_MauricioCastro-25.jpg)
Marc Rebillet @ The Anthem [DC] - 10/16/21
On Saturday night, The Anthem was filled with shower robe-wearing fans, a tribute to Rebillet’s livestream garb of choice, for an explosion of musical improvisation and wild stage antics. (Oh, and puppet sex. There was puppet sex.)
![Bleachers @ The Anthem [DC] - 09/24/21](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6350538c4e985848148c1691/1669659700576-FDJT40E6X7G3S9QPIPBQ/Bleachers_92421_TheAnthem-11.jpg)
Bleachers @ The Anthem [DC] - 09/24/21
Bleachers took the sadness out of Friday night when they brought the “Take The Sadness Out of Saturday Night Tour” to a sold-out show at The Anthem in the nation’s capital.
![Tyler Childers @ The Anthem [DC] - 12/13/19](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6350538c4e985848148c1691/1669662654820-9V7AY86O8ASZP3WX1HBN/TylerChilders_121319_TheAnthem+%28%C2%A92019+Joel+Richard%29-1.jpg)
Tyler Childers @ The Anthem [DC] - 12/13/19
Tyler Childers didn't talk much through a 23-song set that spanned the best of his early acoustic work and his two recent full-length studio albums, 2017's breakout Purgatory and 2019's Country Squire. Toward the end, he admitted he was feeling a bit under the weather, but it never showed through his two-hour performance.
![Sleater-Kinney @ The Anthem [DC] - 10/25/2019](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6350538c4e985848148c1691/1669663308396-2RTNURGOQ7XVEC9XLALV/Sleater-Kinney-Anthem-KG-20.JPG)
Sleater-Kinney @ The Anthem [DC] - 10/25/2019
Sleater-Kinney hit The Anthem with a 29-song set list last weekend, touring behind their new, controversial St. Vincent-produced album, The Center Won’t Hold.
![The Black Keys @ The Anthem [DC] - 10/12/2019](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6350538c4e985848148c1691/1669663490785-F662QTVWBEMBZGT6UXAB/Black-Keys-2019-KG-10.jpg)
The Black Keys @ The Anthem [DC] - 10/12/2019
According to Patrick Carney, The Black Keys rarely rehearse. You'd never know it from Saturday's electric performance at The Anthem, a scorching set filled with arena-sized riffs and drum fills.
![Lizzo @ The Anthem [DC] - 9/26/2019](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6350538c4e985848148c1691/1669664446786-R3VTJ5UQTIQB10LO787H/3FA13DC2-16A3-483A-B455-85DA0C90EF8A.jpg)
Lizzo @ The Anthem [DC] - 9/26/2019
Lizzo has described her concert experience as "Church with a twerk," and her sold-out two-night stint at The Anthem in Washington, D.C. was exactly that: A spiritual love affair of self-celebration and joy.
![Bloc Party @ The Anthem [DC] - 9/16/2019](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6350538c4e985848148c1691/1669665273640-J14MIUJ1QE9S20IZENN1/BlocParty_Cults_MauricioCastro-19.jpg)
Bloc Party @ The Anthem [DC] - 9/16/2019
Bloc Party’s Silent Alarm and 2000s British indie rock - name a more iconic duo. It’s iconic enough, at least, to pack The Anthem in 2019 in celebration of their debut album.
![Shakey Graves / Dr. Dog @ The Anthem [DC] - 9/13/2019](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6350538c4e985848148c1691/1669665387839-XVZV4WY8NWZLVCXFIOKU/Copy%2Bof%2BDSCF2696.jpg)
Shakey Graves / Dr. Dog @ The Anthem [DC] - 9/13/2019
Co-headliners Shakey Graves and Dr. Dog took to the Anthem’s stage to meet in the middle of their respective styles, which stretch from floor-stomping Americana to psychedelic indie rock.
![Jenny Lewis @ The Anthem [DC] - 9/5/2019](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6350538c4e985848148c1691/1669666387871-S7EQK7C0B9RA5V3VE3B7/JennyLewis-KG-12.jpg)
Jenny Lewis @ The Anthem [DC] - 9/5/2019
Lewis worked hard at (and succeeded) making sure the show at the cavernous venue, full of Vegas-styled pomp, stayed as intimate as possible.
Passion Pit @ The Anthem - 5/22/2019
Passion Pit recently celebrated the end of their 10th-anniversary tour of the album Manners at The Anthem in Washington, D.C., treating fans to songs from the album and then some.
Gary Clark Jr. @ The Anthem - 3/30/2019
Gary Clark Jr. is done being just the blues guitarist staple at your neighborhood music festival.
Interpol @ The Anthem - 2/15/2019
Underneath a giant disco ball, the stoic and dapper NYC group brought their dark and infectious music to The Anthem.
Beirut @ The Anthem - 2/14/2019
On Valentine’s Day, the Zach Condon-fronted musical troupe brought sublime new songs from Gallipoli along old favorites to The Anthem in DC.
A$AP Rocky @ The Anthem - 1/20/2019
Some would argue A$AP Rocky has put music on the backburner in favor of other creative ventures such as fashion, acting, and an art exhibition. But at a sold-out Anthem, A$AP Rocky reminded the crowd of his biggest strength - putting on the show of a lifetime.
Julian Lage Trio @ Union Stage - 11/28/18
A Fender Telecaster isn’t the first instrument that comes to mind when one thinks of jazz guitar. Jazz, after all, is a woman, better suited to the elegant lines of a Gibson ES or an Ibanez AF95 than the brutal “squareness” of a Tele. Indeed, Julian Lage’s arsenal includes several varieties of archtops and hollow bodies, but the Telecaster is his axe of choice, and with it, he is creating one hell of a legacy.
Freddie Gibbs @ U Street Music Hall - 11/27/18
Freddie Gibbs aka the Baby Face Killa’s roots lie in Gary, Indiana, but the Midwest veteran sounds like he’s plucked from the tree of hip-hop’s most influential artists from various regions. The gangsta grit of Three Six Mafia sprinkled with the southern flair of Scarface, and lyrical prowess of Ice Cube are traits that make Freddie Gibbs extremely versatile in his craft.
