    Decent venue, with not enough AC and oversold crowds. It was like a sauna party with way too many people. Staffs are rude. Do not recommend. Came here again for Oliver Heldens, and had an amazing night. Still hot and way too crowded tho. It’s okay if you wanna fit too much people and I do not mind, but you got to have some working AC so the crowd won’t get sticky and smelling

    One of the best indoor concert venues I've ever been to. Great staff and organization we felt safe and comfortable the entire time. We were impressed specifically by the security, it was very thorough. The bathrooms had tons of stalls and apparently a bunch of urinals. There was candy and mints in the bathroom for sale and also the bar was a long the entire length of the venue so you could always get drinks. Also free ice water and water bottles! Show was absolutely amazing and we enjoyed it without having to worry about the environment.

    Great venue!! I was very impressed by the staff and the cleanliness of Echostage! The staff is very well organized and helpful. The venue is kept clean and well laid out. There's no obstructed view from the main floor, which is awesome! The merch counter is in the corner, out of the way. Restrooms are either side of the building. There is a long bar on one side of the venue. They do have a coat check which is very nice - $5 pet item. I look forward to attending more events at Echostage!

    Spectacular venue for electronic music. Strict security (goes through wallets). Free water if you walk up to the security near the stages. A lot of bathroom space available. Great audio quality and open space for dancing.

    Echostage stands as the ultimate music haven in DC, reigning supreme as the largest venue. While EDM takes the spotlight, it graciously embraces various genres and artists. The VIP section boasts numerous tables with a stellar view of the stage and the sprawling dance floor. The dazzling light show and potent speakers create an epic audio-visual experience. Don't forget its sibling, Soundcheck, a smaller gem under the Club Glow Insomniac banner.

    Love coming here. Artist selections is diverse. The vibe is amazing. It’s a large venue. Doors open at 9pm for EDM concerts. It’s fine to arrive late. The opener usually starts at 10/10:30pm. Then the headliner will come on at 12/12:30pm. Getting an Uber or Lyft takes a while in the area that late cause of the sheer amount of people also getting rides. No problems going alone or with a group. Gone for Alan Walker, Illenium, and Adventure Club.

    Where do I begin… This is a seriously great night club and definitely worthy of being on DJ Mag’s Top 10 list yearly. It’s clean, the sound system is really good (bass is clear but it would be nice if there was a bit more like Flash or Culture), the mens room has like 40 urinals and 20 stalls, the bar is the length of the dance floor so you can get a drink if you’re near the front or back, the entrance to the bathrooms is at the front and the back so you don’t have to fight to get back to your friends, usually these clubs are hot but they blast A/C and it’s probably keeping this venue at 65degrees it’s perfect for dancing and not sweating, there were medics walking around the crowd making sure people weren’t passed out etc, they were also handing out free waters, also there were cases of water on the way out. Highly reccomend! Would love more clean bass 👍

    I have been to Echostage numerous times over the last decade. I am a frequent visitor in 2023. The club is wonderful with state of the art sound and lighting system. They frequently bring in the best DJs known around the world. People have a good time. Security is good and I feel safe even in a large crowd. The negatives are this: Parking is extremely expensive. It is best to ride share. Street parking is available but the neighborhood is known to be unsafe. Drinks at Echostage are overpriced. Ticket prices went up significantly since the new ownership took over. It costs me over $100 every time I go with Uber and ticket. BUT I am glad that we have Echostage. I wish there was some kind of a frequent guest membership.

    The Griselda concert was live!!!!! Echostage is not huge, so for the price I paid I was way closer than I feel like I should've been. The pics I posted were right before Griselda came out we worked out way way closer to the front. Had a blast going back very soon. Also no violence after the show so that was cool too.

    Great concert venue! Saw KSHMR and he did not disappoint. There were large screens, lasers, strobe lights, LED lights on the ceiling, smoke jets, confetti and more! If you like being visually stimulated, this place is for you. The bathrooms were large, clean and easy to get to. There is free bottled water in front of the stage and First Aid staff walking around to help people. Getting in the venue was fairly easy but there will be a line, even at 11pm. Leaving Echostage may be tricky if you didn’t drive. Public transit is not available after 2am and ride share is hard to get. I will be back!

    First time checking out this music venue space in DC. I loved the big space for DC standards. Multiple levels with plenty of bathrooms and attendants working the bathrooms too. Went to DC capital pride event and it was nice. Overall, plenty of staff to ensure your safety and good lighting along with DJs. It’s a great place to have a club night in the area.

    One of the best indoor venues I’ve ever been to. Staff is always awesome and looking out for you. They pass out water like crazy to make sure everyone is safe and sober by the time the concert is done. Staff is very alert and always feel safe coming here.

    Great venue! Outdoor spot to get some fresh air or smoke. Large bathrooms, so no long line, waiting for a stall. Music, lights, and sound are definitely on point. Drinks are overpriced, but the bartenders are fast and have great service, and an overall nice ambiance at the bar as well.

    Went there for the first time with my wife and we both had an okay time. The music was loud, which we didn't mind. We both brought earplugs and plus, who doesn't like some extra bass. The prices were as expected of any nightclub. The production was amazing. I've been to quite a few EDM nightclubs and this is certainly up there with the best. The crowd had to be our biggest gripe. Extremely crowded and not a single person had a lick of manners or plur. We had an instance where this couple forced their way forward into a spot that didn't even exist. They then proceeded to dance wildly by dropping to the floor and pushing people around them. Almost knocking people over in the process. The solution was to just find a new spot. It felt like every spot we went to people would force their way through without saying excuse me or sorry. We were fortunate to eventually find a nice spot in the back with a little space (seen in video.) Eventually, we found a nice spot by the shufflers and merch spot (seen in the picture). We were able to dance with limited limitations but sacrificing the production and view. Once the main act was over, the crowd cleared out and the vibes were much better. I still managed to have a good time and would give it another chance if I was back in D.C., but I wouldn't go out of my way to do so.

    Armin up close and personal! Great venue! Make sure you have your ID or a photo of your passport on your phone. Event parking next door is $40. Great bartenders! Water bottles get distributed. Crowd was courteous as much as crowds can be he he

    This venue is great, and my first visit this past weekend was one of my favorite concerts of all time seeing Two Friends (NOTD opened and were also amazing). The venue is ideal for EDM shows with the lighting layout (seriously insane lasers and lighting!). There is no seating if you are in GA, but the size of the venue ensures everyone has a good view even in the back. If you do want to sit, bottle service upstairs on the terrace is ridiculous and the views from there are also insane! We already had GA tickets but since it is my boyfriends fav, (I also love Two Friends) I decided to get us a table, one thing I learned is that concert admission is included so if you missed out on tickets to a show you REALLY want to see, you can get a group of friends and get a table that includes concert admission. I loved the bottle service, large leather couch like seating, and our server was a peach! The bathrooms are large and I never waited in line to use the bathroom (yes the ladies room had no lines) and the show was packed. The venue is out there and not located near much, so keep that in mind with planning since leaving and grabbing an Uber or Lyft can be a challenge if you don’t keep this in mind with the time you leave. All in all this was a great venue to see a show and I’d love to come back to see another show!

    The venue is beautiful as well as the production for shows. We love that there is a first aid room by the ATM. However being asked to pay $22 for some bottled water is a bit tad ridiculous. The bartender was rude , and was very demanding for us to hand over a card when we asked for water (not like we weren't going to pay), a bit unprofessional or not plur. Update: We went back and had a way better experience. (Had to give this beautiful venue another try) The bartenders upstairs are way friendlier and the drinks didn't taste like just alcohol with a splash of mixer. The venue was not packed shoulder to shoulder like that past couple times. There was plenty room to dance and the crowd was way friendlier. Shout out to the twitch streamer who was passing out water & thank you to the staff that were vibing at the rail and also passing out water.

    I have been going to shows since I was 15. Started going to festivals when I was 21. I am currently 34 years old and this venue raised the bar on every level. Sound quality visual effects and laser show were all on point. The bass filled my entire body and I was moved by the performance. Amazing staff security handed out as many bottled waters as you needed with no hesitation. I went to see Marshmello and it was the best performance I've ever witnessed.

    Everything was very good, unfortunately Alan Walker had us standing for like 4 hours waiting for him, but the 3 hours of his concert I feel destroyed and tired 😪🥲😭 but I love him very much

    This rating is more of a sentimental one than an honest assessment as they used to have far more live music acts than they do today. I saw the Replacements here and it was one of the best concerts I've been to in my entire life. It is a great venue for live music with great acoustics and is not too big and not too small. Today, it's more if a DJ live music venue. However, I hope that changes soon.

    Saw Logic perform June 2023 at Echostage and fell in love with the venue. Smaller, but extremely good quality concert venue. The security was great, plenty of bathrooms, and lots of bartenders. Looking forward to seeing more concerts here!

    Echo is an amazing venue. I'm here 2-3 times a week normally for EDM shows and it's by far and large one of if not my most favorite music venue. Drink prices are a bit high, and I'd appreciate chips and snacks sometimes being available outside of the bathroom attendants, but overall a great club ran by great people.

    This was my first time at this venue, and I was so so impressed. We saw Chelsea Cutler, and the venue and staff were so great. For starters, there were so many staff on hand to answer any questions and there was plenty of security to keep everyone feeling safe. For the actual experience, the sound system was phenomenal, the security guards passed out water bottles to the crowed between performances (!!!) and just went above and beyond the entire time. I will definitely plan on returning to this venue!

    I love Echostage! The layout is ideal for concerts and there's easy access to the bar areas for drinks or water. The bathrooms are easily accessible and have plenty of stalls to accommodate large groups. Really well designed venue and the lights and sounds were awesome!

    Great concert venue. Great ticket prices. Only down side is drinks are expensive. But they give out free water bottles, so I would say it's good to pregame a little. I was there with a friend who needed ADA access. Their ADA section was great. Really nice security guard there as well.

    Attended the Marshmallow concert at Ecostage yesterday and I've got some thoughts to share. Firstly, the venue itself is pretty decent, especially when it comes to the stage setup, lighting, and overall production quality – they really nailed it in creating a vibrant concert atmosphere. However, it wasn't all smooth sailing. The hall felt a bit too snug for the number of people there, making it feel congested at times. This was especially noticeable during the exit, which was quite a rushed affair. A note on cleanliness: by the end of the night, the floor was littered with discarded drink glasses and cans, which was a bit of an eyesore. While these issues did take away from the experience somewhat, overall, I'd still rate Ecostage as decently good. It's a venue with great potential, just needing a bit more attention to crowd management and cleanliness.

    Production value is great. The venue itself is awesome. The staff are so nice. They pass out waters for free up front. I was able to get ear protection from first aid when I forgot my own. They let me sit in ADA when my scoliosis decided to hurt badly midconcert. A previous time when my phone died and i needed a charge a staff member helped me out. All in all a great place to see an act.

    They always sell too many tickets. Other than that, nice great venue and the crowd completely varies between arts. Headbangers are the best

  • 5/5 Bridget L. 2 years ago on Google
    Great place for concerts! The sound is amazing 🤩. Well thought out venue. New artists as well as international names.

  • 5/5 Oscar S. 2 years ago on Google
    First time being here and the vibe is completely different compared to arena concerts. The crowd wasn't just standing around; they all had energy and jumped, clapped, sang, etc. On a sold-out show, it gets pretty crowded, so be prepared to be constantly touching someone. This combined with people drinking alcohol can get pretty crazy as there's people that dance and jump with their drinks in their hands and sometimes even throw them so be prepared to have some drinks spilled on you and be standing on a sticky floor, nothing too bad though. I do agree with everyone else though, after like an hour or two, it starts to get very hot. That stuff aside, I had a great night going to see Alan Walker and the crowd was amazing. Can't wait to come back to see illenium soon :)

    #1 Club in the World for good reason. Great DJ's almost every other night, and an amazing sound system. I pretty much live here half the month.

  • 5/5 Stacey M. 2 years ago on Google
    One of the best venues I've been to. Bar was well staffed and I never had to wait for drinks. Employees were friendly and not pretentious. You cannot bring glow sticks/ necklaces/ bracelets in. Stayed at the Holiday Inn around the corner and was within easy walking distance. Overall great experience.

  • 5/5 Millennial M. 2 years ago on Google
    I've lost count of the times I been here! First time I crowd surfed 😂 and I'm a big boy.. Just saw Excision and it was SURREAL, would definitely recommend Just make sure you're good with transportation!

  • 4/5 Timothy C. 1 year ago on Google
    Nearly 10 years going here. In recent years crowds can be downers depending on the artist. Medical staff and security are top notch. Drinks are pricey just like every other nightclub. Gorgeous festival esque LED wall and a giant Dance Floor. Tickets are affordable. Club has it all. Lasers, CO2 Cannons, confetti, & Trippy Visual effects. Rough area of town surrounding the venue and rip-off price parking are why it’s 4 not 5 stars. Travel in groups. And be prepared to cough up $40-60 Cash only for parking.

    I have gone to many raves for the past 6 years, and this is the best venue I have ever experienced. This venue is great. Very clean place, and pretty large. The best thing is that THEY GIVE US FREE WATER. They care a lot about your health and want to make sure you're not dying. The security is pretty strict, but I also feel a lot safer that way. I had so much fun!

  • 5/5 Kylie D. 7 months ago on Google
    My favorite club in DC! There is a huge dancefloor with ample room for how many people show up at each show. 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. 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. I included a couple videos I took: one from a trance show and another from a melodic dubstep one.

  • 5/5 Gaelen F. 1 year ago on Google
    The premier location in Baltimore for EDM music. Consistently attracting excellent acts, superb sound system, and wonderful visual display. Only criticism would be that the drinks are very expensive and not particularly strong.

  • 5/5 Amanda S. 1 year ago on Google
    Lots of bathrooms, clean, easy to access. Security thorough, great music, big crowd! Charlotte De Witt was great! Free water!

  • 3/5 hey n. 11 months ago on Google
    I went to see A Boogie in February & the line was so long but the doors opened on time & it moved fast. The venue was way too hot, security was passing out water bottles that they threw into the crowd…which is not a good idea because i definitely got hit in the ear with one smh.

  • 4/5 Liz T. 1 year ago on Google
    The show was definitely entertaining. Not sure why there needed to be the awkward female uniforms on the wait staff or such production around bottle purchases. It should be about the music. That said, all the staff and security were friendly and worked hard.
