The Anthem opened in 2017 and has quickly become one of DC's best live-music venues. The 6000-capacity hall books acts from Judas Priest to Lorde to Big Sean, though rock is the mainstay genre. Most tickets are general admission, standing. Get in line early on show day, and you could be front row for your favorite band.
