Capitol Hill Block Party can be overcrowded and hot, and it is admittedly not for everybody. If you’ve already decided to roll right past it, we suggest these shows and festivals instead, some of which exist in direct opposition to CHBP, and some that are just trying to get their live music vibes on. If you decide to go to Block Party anyway, though, we’ll still be here for you with our Capitol Hill Block Party calendar.
1. Bat City Anti-Block Party
The Anti-Block Party is here and ready to peel back your ear drums. Consider this the darker, cheaper, more Eastlake-y alternative to the Capitol Hill Block Party. Expect a buckwild lineup of live acts and DJs, including Raw Dogs, FCON, and Murder Weapons, spanning over three days at both LoFi and Victory Lounge.
