A major concert will be held Saturday on the Washington Monument grounds on the National Mall that could draw a large number of attendees.

The free concert and Earth Day rally sponsored by Global Citizen will feature No Doubt, Usher, Fall Out Boy, Mary J Blige, Train and My Morning Jacket. The event takes place between 11 a.m. and 7:30 p.m.

Due to the potential for crowding, Metro is encouraging concertgoers to use stations other than Smithsonian. Suggested Metrorail stations near the National Mall include:
• L’Enfant Plaza
• Metro Center
• Federal Triangle
• Archives
• Federal Center SW

Metro is advising customers that selected trains may bypass Smithsonian station if the station becomes crowded.
