Time Out says

DC’s largest dedicated concert venue reopened in 2013 after major renovations. The 30,000-plus-square-foot space attracts everyone from deejays to emcees to big names in hip-hop and pop—this year’s lineup boasts Lorde, Cut Copy and DMX—and hits the sweet spot, size-wise, between 9:30 Club and the Verizon Center. Tickets can run pricier than at other DC music venues, and getting there is a bit tricky—if you don’t want to cab or drive, free shuttles run between the NoMa-Gallaudet Metro station and Echostage until 3 AM. Also worth noting: Headlining acts often don’t take the stage until after 1 AM, so be prepared for a late night. For parties, or just a more private experience, tables with bottle service are available in the upstairs mezzanines—which also offer better views of the stage.

What’s on

Layton Giordani

A 360-degree stage puts the crowd at the center of the action for Layton Giordani’s latest Washington, DC appearance, bringing the techno artist’s expansive sound to Echostage. Known for his driving productions and connection to the global electronic music scene, Giordani steps away from a traditional front-facing setup for a format designed around immersion and movement. The night pairs his extended DJ performance with a room-wide atmosphere, where shifting perspectives and heavy rhythms become part of the experience. Presented by GLOW, the event also features support from DANSYN and Monción, adding more layers to an evening built around contemporary club culture. Taking place at Echostage, the 18+ show highlights the scale and intensity that have made Giordani a familiar name among techno and electronic music audiences.
