DC's largest dedicated concert venue
Echostage
Why locals love it
Echostage is 30,000 square feet with high-end sound, top-notch LED and projection displays, and a smoking area to boot. Already, the venue has attracted EDM hotshots like Eric Prydz, Above & Beyond, David Guetta, Calvin Harris, and Tiesto among others. Whether you're new to the EDM scene, or a proper VIP, there is a corner of Echostage for you.
Why you should visit it
Echostage is clubbing in the truest sense--a music experience. With handheld LED lights for sale, a VIP balcony with two of its own bars and table service, and a ground floor area with bars, bodies, and fist-pumping, the loud music and big lights experience is at the ready. DC music aficionados especially love the German-imported sound-system.
Special tip
Even if you don't have the deep pockets for VIP seating, if you're 21+ you can access the two upstairs bar, which helps the wait time.
