Lupe Fiasco this Friday, HFStival this Saturday, and more!

	The Show Goes On While a lot of shows feature a big headliner and a few lesser-known openers, this Friday's Lupe Fiasco show at Merriweather has really upped the ante.  Not only will you get Fiasco's over-the-top rhymes; you'll also get sets from four top-notch acts, including D.C.'s own mic wizard Wale, sweet R&B/soul singer Miguel, Maryland rising force Phil Adé, and U.K. rapper Tinie Tempah.  Don't miss out on one of the best hip-hop shows of the year.  Come to Merriweather Post Pavilion this Friday and get hyped in a major way.

September 16 5:30pm Gates click here to purchase tickets The Time Hath Come The definitive D.C./Baltimore-area rock festival of the 1990s and early 2000s, HFStival made its name by taking the best bands in alternative rock and jamming them all together for one insane concert experience.  Sounds pretty neat, right?  Experience it for yourself!  This Saturday, HFStival 2011 will grace the grounds of Merriweather Post Pavilion with high-caliber acts from pretty much every genre of rock imaginable.  Whether it's the folk awesomeness of The Avett Brothers, the Celtic punk sounds of Flogging Molly, or even the heavy jams of Maryland's own Clutch, this year's HFStival has enough raw rock power to go down as one of the best ever.

Along with an opening set from seasoned folk/bluegrass banjo player William Elliott Whitmore, this show at 9:30 Club will be a perfect celebration of artists whose acclaim has risen steadily over recent years. Don't miss this night of quiet brilliance when The Low Anthem arrive this Thursday. THE LOW ANTHEM w/ William Elliott Whitmore This Thursday! September 15 click here to purchase tickets Unbridled Energy German collective Atari Teenage Riot made a lasting impression on the alternative music scene of the mid-1990s with their blend of digital hardcore punk, industrial metal and blatant social and political messages. After disbanding more than a decade ago, they reformed last year with a brand new album, Is The Hyperreal?. Come enjoy Atari Teenage Riot's masterful musical bombast at 9:30 Club this Saturday. ATARI TEENAGE RIOT w/ Otto Von Schirach This Saturday!

Backed by his band, The Light, Hook will play Closer, Joy Division's second and final album, in its entirety. If they perform it nearly as remarkably as they did Unknown Pleasures, this night at 9:30 Club will once again do great justice to the seminal post-punk legends.
