We’ve listed free and ticketed events, so read the fine print. Reopening coincides with Pride, so there is so much to celebrate. Some spots like The Dew Drop Inn are taking it slow and not ready to host live music just yet, while others like Comet Ping Pong have started scheduling shows and are already sold out this whole month.īelow, we’ve rounded up some of the live entertainment-concerts, karaoke, dancing, etc.-you can attend this reopening weekend. 31 (but after that it’s Harry Styles, Celine Dion, Tame Impala and more through the fall). Capital One Arena’s first listed show is for Aug. The Warner Theatre’s first non-rescheduled event is listed for Aug. Black Cat’s first dance party is on July 17, with its first concert on July 24.

Reopening is a process, plus lots of musicians have only planned tours for the fall and winter, so many venues won’t have shows this weekend. Mayor Muriel Bowser’s decision to reopen businesses across the city was only announced one month ago. This doesn’t mean live entertainment is back everywhere immediately, though. Nowadays, expect more venues to look a lot like the Before Times. But per government rules at the time, patrons had to be seated, so we’d hardly consider that open. Some of these spots were welcoming customers. These venues were the first to close during the coronavirus pandemic and are the last to reopen. That means concerts and clubbing are back across the District. Bars, large venues, and nightclubs can welcome back patrons without any capacity limits.
