Washington, D.C. this week: Guy Mantzur, Brutalismus 3000 and more

Echostage gets ODESZA behind the decks and a Berlin techno-punk riot, Tigres de la Noche runs late twice, and Weatherday brings Hornet Disaster to the Miracle Theatre.

There are 81 shows on the D.C. calendar this week, and most of the ones worth planning around don't start until well after the dinner rush. This is a week for late nights in Northeast, a couple of Ivy City warehouses-turned-clubs, and one Capitol Hill theater for the people who'd rather be home by midnight.

Thursday is the crowded one. ODESZA play Echostage at 8 p.m., with Nils Hoffmann opening, and the ticket listing bills it as a DJ set, so expect the duo working records rather than the full band-and-drumline production. If you'd rather go small, 6 SENSE takes over Transmission at 9 p.m., and AEREA starts at Tigres de la Noche at 10 p.m. ($28.38–$34.05).

Friday belongs to Brutalismus 3000, who bring their Harmony US Tour 2026 to Echostage at 10 p.m. ($48.15–$65.95) with 10cust, Pluko, Gabberbitch69 and Hissyfit stacked underneath. The Berlin duo announced their North American dates in September alongside the new single "Drop Your Spirit," so this is a band touring fresh material rather than coasting. For a later, looser night, AJ Christou goes on at Vera Cocina & بار at 11:15 p.m., with Garvin ($11.35–$56.75).

Saturday gives you a genuine choice. Weatherday play the Miracle Theatre at 8 p.m. with Cuni, Virtua dx and DIALS DIALS DIALS, on a run billed as the Hornet Disaster Tour 2026. *Hornet Disaster* is the album the project announced back in October 2024, and the 371-capacity Miracle is about the right size for music this fuzzed-out and intimate. Later, Guy Mantzur plays THRōW Social DC at 10 p.m. ($40). The venue sits at 1401 Okie Street NE in Ivy City, upstairs from Kick Axe Throwing, so it's a bar-and-games spot that turns into a dance floor once the melodic house starts. Over at Tigres de la Noche, Gabss starts at 10:30 p.m. ($17.03–$28.38).

If you only do one, Friday at Echostage is the loudest bet of the week. If you do two, take the Weatherday early show on Saturday and then head to Ivy City. Eat something first, and plan your ride home before 2 a.m. rather than after.
