Foo Fighters Opened the Anthem on the Waterfront

Foo Fighters headlined the Anthem’s opening night on October 12, 2017. Washington’s new Southwest Waterfront venue began with a sold-out show and a frontman who had grown up in the area.

Trouble Funk and the Struts appeared before the headliners. WTOP’s on-site report records the Foo Fighters opening with I’ll Stick Around and moving through songs from across their catalog. Venue founder Seth Hurwitz even joined them on drums.

For Dave Grohl, the night included memories of visits to the nearby fish market. For the Anthem, it established a musical connection to Washington on its first official night: a new concert hall introduced by an artist with roots in the region.
