Know Before You Go

Why it matters

The Anthem was purpose-built at Washington's Wharf with a movable stage that changes the room's capacity and sightlines, allowing it to bridge the gap between clubs and arenas.

Getting there

The Anthem is at The Wharf. L'Enfant Plaza and Waterfront Metro are both walkable, the Wharf shuttle serves the area, and parking is limited/expensive compared with transit.

Bag policy

The Anthem publishes current bag guidance in its official FAQ and can adjust it by event. Keep bags small and check the FAQ before leaving.

Local tips

The Wharf gives you food and drinks before the show, but it also gets crowded. Metro is usually the better answer than trying to drive directly under the venue.
