Echostage

03/01/25I was here for a sponsored event - Bingo Loco by Fever!The space was very large. I did not feel cramped in the space.A good time was had.

My brothers and I drove hours for an Apashe show at Echostage, excited by its great reputation. Without warning or cause, we were kicked out before Apashe even came on. We had followed all venue policies and were given no explanation.The staff was rude and completely non-transparent, giving us zero explanation why they removed us from the venue. It felt like being punished for something we didn't do. I suspect they mistook us for another group and refused to admit their mistake. This was heartbreaking, and we received no refund. While the atmosphere seemed great, the staff ruined it--worst concert experience ever. I cannot recommend this venue.

The lighting is freaking amazing...drinks aren't badly priced, and the front staff are kind and respectful. The only probably is that I personally feel they allow too many people inside. No room to dance, people are pushy and rude.

My favorite club in DC! There is a huge dancefloor with ample room for how many people show up at each show except for the most popular artists. Tables are on the second floor, meaning that they don't block the view for those dancing. Screens are decent and there are some cool lasers and lights. Acoustics are great no matter where you stand. Plenty of bathrooms so you'll never have to wait. I don't drink so I can't comment on alcohol prices but there's free water! Do note that ADA accommodation seems pretty difficult to get here... I've emailed the club and they haven't responded to me in weeks. If you want it then you might have to pester someone about it.

Timmy Trumpet was my first time at Echostage. The parking situation really isn't the best in the area - feels super sketchy, and the area is quite dark and hard to find if you're coming in for a late night concert. My partner and I decided to use the valet parking for $30 (cash only) for ease near the venue and pregame in the car; I definitely wasn't feeling like $50 on a few drinks in the venue. Walking to the venue wasn't too bad from there. Lin for security was about a 20 minute wait. Security was really strict and wouldn't let us eat the rest of our Hi-Chew candies outside the venue and had us throw it out... I definitely was upset about that since they're a premium pre-rave candy. Overall, the lighting and the show was great, but the venue itself felt crowded and therefore less than clean. However, ladies there are an abundance of bathroom stalls so there will never be a wait for the bathroom so that is a plus; also semi-clean. Would I recommend? Only if it's someone you REALLY want to see. Other than that, there are definitely better venues in the areas that I would recommend over Echostage.

Awesome venue! Saw a 360 set for my queen Nora and it was so intimate and such a vibe. Great lighting and sound system, great crowd, friendly staff, cheap drinks, all around great time!

One of the best venues for edm sound but too loud at times even w quality ear plugs. No menu with drinks to see prices and such nor a smart code to scan a menu. No baskets to put personal belongings in for security. They get too many customers to not have this. Some of the lighting makes you feel like things are moving or coming at you or flashing like crazy. It can be fun but a lot to take in for a concert that lasted over 5 hours. I came right in at 9 PM left at 2:15 AM, and heard the music still blaring around 2:45 AM passing through on the outside. Maybe if they allowed in/out, this wouldn't be such a big deal to me, but that would put a strain on security and much higher prices too- definitely not an option here. Probably a good option for a Taylor Swift concert.I had nothing to drink and no (illegal) drugs and those effects are part of the lighting effects. I can't speak for others (rofl)Security does a good job here.Still would come but could do better.

I've been to many EDM concerts here. The acts that grace this locale are a good time. The paid lounge spaces are also comfortable and the bottle service is pretty attentive. It's the safety and the caliber of people either attending or surrounding the area that concern me. Parking has always been a challenge. Random guys looking for a good time and blatantly obvious what they're looking for have come up to me on occasion. I'd still come for the concerts, but would just suggest to be aware of yourself and of your surroundings. If you're going to drink, please be responsible for the amount you take and its source.

I really didn't care for this venue. I will try to avoid if possible in the future. I came to see Ella Mai and her and the band were good, but the venue was just lacking.GLOWS:- They worked hard to get everyone inside the venue in an orderly fashion. GROWS:-The stage is too small with the length of the venue. It was too far to the bar and impossible to see-The road is blocked off to cars after the show. Getting an uber on the main road was a difficult process.-it felt overly crowded. I didn't even attempt the bar.

Security and med team are trash. I was dancing and they stopped me to tell me I was too intoxicated???? Then walked me out and wouldn't let me back in nor get a refund. What kind of shit is that, ITS A DANCING VENUE. Don't know how this place makes top 10 in the US, it's bunk.
