I went to see Twenty One Pilots (for the 3rd time) at Echostage on September 8th for the Blurryface tour. The concert was amazing, but the environment was very, very sketchy. It's in the middle of probably one of the fewest spots that people venture through DC. (AKA, it was a warehouse area.) The staff was seemed cool. As we were waiting in line 4 hours before the doors opened, they were giving out free water this day, because the heat outside was un-Godly. Although, once we got inside the venue, the AC was on very low. They barely turned in up for the capacity of the people in the venue. (4,000 people). Also, once the opening act, Finish Ticket, jumped on stage, everyone was pushing their way toward the stage, which I expected, but I also expected for security to take care of the matter or at least alert the artist of what was going on. People were getting crushed, some started to faint, and I could have sworn multiple fights were about to break out because of the pushing and security was just standing there. (But they jumped in the crowd and almost elbowed my head trying to escort some kid out for using a Go Pro...) All and all, I enjoyed my time there. I saw one of my favorite bands play and learned a new technique on avoiding crazy crowds, but I would not suggest someone to go see a concert here. You can tell this place was made, specifically, for an EDM concert or late night shows, or Dubstep shows, shows like those, but if you wanna catch a band like Twenty One Pilots or anything else like that, trying catching them at another venue.
