On The Hill:
Nothing But Thieves is on a roll and they don’t seem to be slowing down anytime soon. This English rock band’s 2015 debut album topped the charts and rocketed them to success. The band has played alongside Muse, Twenty One Pilots, George Ezra, and more over the last few years. Their latest release, Broken Machines, is incredibly well crafted and well worth a listen. The vocals will blow you away! If you got tickets to this sold out intimate show on October 31 at the Rock & Roll Hotel, I guarantee you will have an amazing time!
Around DC:
ZEDD, the Russian-German producer, DJ, musician, and songwriter that has blown up over the last few years, is coming to DC! Though he is now known for racking up his own Billboard Hot 100 hits, his early production credits include the likes of Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande. He has since collaborated with massive artists like Liam Payne, Hailee Steinfeld, Hayley Williams, and much more. Zedd will be performing with Grey and Lophile at The Anthem on October 21. Get your tickets here.
Singer-songwriter Noah Gundersen’s third LP, White Noise, showcases the best of what his indie-folk has to offer. Gorgeous vocals and masterful songwriting create a cohesive sound that will have you swooning. Some of Gundersen’s songs have even been featured in television shows like The Vampire Diaries and The Following in addition to an Emmy-nominated original song for Sons of Anarchy. Catch Noah Gundersen on October 24 at the 9:30 Club. Pick up your tickets now.
The Head and the Heart, the six-piece indie folk band responsible for hits like “All We Ever Knew,” is headed your way and you don’t want to miss them. Their third studio album, Signs of Light, showcases the band’s multi-layered sound that has been capturing the attention of fans around the world for years. The minimalist and somehow intense vocals, prominent percussion and soothing strings sections bring wonderment and spirit to the listeners. The Head and the Heart will take the stage at The Anthem on October 27. Get your tickets here.
Madeon has had quite the career in electronic music for being only 21. His debut album, Adventure, topped the Billboard charts with collaborations featuring members of Passion Pit, Bastille, and more. Even before this, Madeon had made his mark on the music world with production credits on Ellie Goulding, Coldplay, and Lady Gaga records. His music is incredibly energetic, and his live shows don’t disappoint! Don’t miss Madeon’s headlining set on October 28 at Echostage. This show is for those 18 and over and is selling out fast!

If you are into rock, Evanescence is no doubt a household name. The band formed in 1995 and is still alive and kicking. In support of their newest release, Synthesis, the band will be touring with a live orchestra for the very first time. This will not only add an ethereal sense to the haunting vocals of Amy Lee but also bring the music and the emotion to life. Catch Evanescence at the MGM National Harbor on October 31 to round out your Halloween evening. Pick up your tickets here.
