Fun venue. Great sound and great lights, an overall good show every time I go. The only things that bothered me were the fact that people are not allowed to use their gloves or any sort of lights and also the fact that some of the employees outside of the smoking area looked very cold (especially with all the wind). I have been to this venue a few times during winter and the security outside always looks very uncomfortable. The least you guys could do would be to get some sort of small heater for these guys. You clearly have enough money to afford a heater. I just really do not like a company that doesn't take care of their employees.

If you want to be assaulted by emotionally unintelligent security staff, you should definitely check this spot out! Never in my 30 years of existence, have I ever been more disgusted by the absolute unprofessionalism. For some reason the the security staff believes that they are able to put their hands on anyone without justification. I cannot recommend others to go to this venue due to the lack of fundamental safety. If you would like a more un violated experience, check out soundcheck or 930 club.

Excellent venue for EDM! The staff is friendly and helpful. The lighting is incredible but the sound is too loud (use Loop earplugs! ). It would be nice if they consistently provided the approximate time that the headliner's show will start. Doors often open at 9:00PM with the main event not starting until midnight or past. The photos are from Martin Garrix on October 3, 2019.

This is a great place. So far I have been to two concerts and they were amazing. The place is quite nice and parking isn't as difficult as it should be. Inside the sound system is actually amazing. The rest rooms are very well maintained. The drink we had for the concert wasn't really great and mostly devoid of alcohol. Overall a nice convenient place to enjoy.

I have been to Echostage 6 times and 6 times I have been more and more impressed than before! Every event there seems like it took months to prepare with how well the lights and lasers seamlessly come together. I can definitely see why Echostage is #1 in the US for DJ venues.

Saw Alan Walker and Sam Feldt it was amazing! Very large venue, drinks are pricey but that's too be expected. Staff was friendly and very quick to crack down on fights. Would very highly reccomend for any artist. Hands down best venue ive ever been too.

Dude didn t come out until 11pm. Overcrowded
Oversold , kids getting hurt up front by getting crunched, no security to speak of, barely search anyone , not worth the trouble at all

Great venue size, plenty of restrooms to use. Lots of areas to dance away from main stage. Bars on both sides, no issue to get drinks. Second level for VIP areas have great views of the stage. Sound quality is amazing no matter your location

Place is always way too crowded, the police close off the area after the shows so getting a cab is a disaster, the people that go there are always way too drunk or rude. Only redeeming quality are the acts they get.

A awesome place to be on Sunday.

And a awesome place to be when you want to let your hair down on Saturdays

The staff, more specifically security is the worse. They were very rude and were even cursing at those attending the event I went to last night. Most of the people in attendance were young girls and women. Specifically a security staff cursed at my little sister about hand cream and lip stick she had in her bag. Greatly dampened the experience we had and would not recommend a venue that has staff like this.

BEWARE of this club if your trying to have a nice night ! Deserves 0 stars
Security disrespected / borderline assulated me with a gate , on the way in for no valid reason, really killed it for me , made the "mistake" of bringing my LED hoop *been dancing for 7 years * <3 (which was allowed in 3 years ago at this venue, something must have changed ) and was humiliated at the door !

I waited in a 25 min line in 35 degree weather, bouncer told me "that's not coming in the building" when I finally made it to the front of line (other security saw me with my hoop prior to front and never gave me any heads up)

I asked if I could pay to check it in, instead he ignored that request ,ejected me from the line ,and CLOSED THE GATE INTO ME (yes , interpret that exactly as it's written ! On me, as in ,shoved it into my ass nearly knocking me ,I wish I was lying ) no exaggeration !
I kept my cool (I work in customer service so , I tried my hardest to think how maybe this dude isn't just a POS ,maybe he had encountered some a hole or drunk / high kids that preemptively pissed him off prior to little me )

I followed all his directions and was respectful ,but he still ignored me and was nothing but rude. I had to go back to where I parked , put it in the car ,and walk all the way back , and wait in line all over again ,which the headliner "above and beyond" (which was a bucket list artist for me ) had already started !

They also do pat downs , that was new for me and for this place as well as over pack the club, I'm talking sardine level packed , hard to move ,breath, no wonder they don't want people with dance props in , yes there's liability , but shoot there's more of a liability parking your car in that neighborhood lol , if they let more light prop dancers in let's face it , they rather pack in the bodies than have more room to dance for us.

They let people carry on that are belligerently drunk ,staff didn't have a problem with two girls trying to fight in the bathroom either (just some commentary I overheard while trying to pee) , wooohoo what a night , this wasn't my first rave by far , but I just could not believe being treated with such animosity for no reason .Thanks venue staff I will never attend this venue again if I can help it! Not flow prop friendly ! Don't vote echostage as a top 100 club !

Place is one of the best for House Music concert. The parking situation is sort of a hassle if you do not get the two spots in front of the place and they range at about $40 bucks. The area is in a industrial park so it looks really shady. I would suggest booking parking online through Parking Panda ahead of the concert so you don't run into any issues. The headliners usually do not come out till after 11 PM even thought the doors open at 8. You will be waiting around for a while. The bar is over priced for what you get and the alcohol to mixer ratio is skewed. They will not let you in if you go in drunk. But you should go there to enjoy the music not to get drunk. There is a VIP section upstairs which seems cool have not been to it yet.

Good venue with a great lights/production value for concerts. Good bar service and enough reasonable parking options nearby. Not accessible from Metro, so be prepared to drive or employ other transit options. Also, Ubering at the end of a show is chaos if you stay at the venue. Walk out toward the roads and order your car from there if possible.

Greatest Staff, Greatest Experience in DC for a concert venue, Security is on point and fair, I have been to almost every show here and have not been offered any drugs or been over intoxicated. Cindy Berberich seems like she hangs out with the wrong people because I've been to almost every show is different because of the different promotions team hosting the event that night. Bring your dancing shoes.

Excellent venue for any edm show. It's not terribly large so there's a much larger connection with the artist. The drinks are outrageously priced, but that's expected at any and every concert venue.

Not my favorite venue. Super packed for slander and sound wasn't great. This is a big concert hall so be prepared for that. On the plus side, bar on the left side never had any wait, bartenders were very fast and friendly.

I would give this place zero stars if I could. I paid 100$ to see Rezz and the security wouldn't let me in. I let them search me over six times and asked them to brethalize me to prove I was sober. They continued to deny my entry. I will never reccomend this place or try to come again. It is a waste of time and money. I don't care who you want to see here it is a joke. Echostage is the worst venue I have been to.

I went to see Schoolboy Q. Doors opened at 9pm, Schoolboy didn't come on until 1am and was only on until like 145. There were four opening acts that were mostly all terrible, and they kept playing the same Kendrick Lamar songs over and over again to try to pump up the crowd. I don't know who's fault it was, but what it seemed like was that the venue was trying to help out it's friends instead of putting on a good show. Schoolboy even apologized when he came on for how long we had to wait and said that it wasn't his intention to keep the crowd waiting so long. All in all it was pretty disappointing.

Watch out gay comunity!!! This place discriminates if you are kissing with your partner, or showing any other kind of affection. They always say 'a girl said she was sexualy harrased or something to kick you our. Discrimination at its best! Shame on this place. All lgbt comunity say away from here!!!!!! They kicked us out for kissing, showing affection and they said later that some girls said they were harrased. Funny, again stay away from this place!
