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

Deorro

Deorro knows how to make a room move without overcomplicating the formula, blending festival scale EDM with Latin influences and the kind of hooks that have kept his tracks in rotation for years. His stop at Echostage pairs that familiar sound with a set from BOLO THE DJ, making this a late night built around heavy rhythms and a dance floor focus. The Northeast DC venue has long been a home for large scale electronic bookings, and this show fits naturally into that lineup with a producer known for crowd ready anthems and high energy sets. For fans who prefer their nights built around movement rather than standing on the sidelines, this is a straightforward invitation to spend a few hours immersed in bass, lights and a room full of people there to dance.
