Foo Fighters Will Play The 9:30 Club On Thursday To Celebrate Club's Reopening

WASHINGTON, DC — Foo Fighters will be performing at the 9:30 Club in D.C. Thursday night to celebrate the concert venue’s grand reopening after 18 months of being closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Visit Ticketmaster to buy tickets. Everyone entering the 9:30 Club, which holds up to 1,200 people, must provide proof that they are fully vaccinated for COVID-19, or provide a negative PCR test taken within the last 72 hours. Everyone must stay masked unless they are actively eating or drinking.

In fall 2017, Foo Fighters marked the official opening of The Anthem, the 6,000-person concert hall on The Wharf in D.C. Both the 9:30 Club and The Anthem are operated by the same company, I.M.P.

Dave Grohl, the frontman and founder of Foo Fighters, grew up in Fairfax County. "As a kid growing up in the D.C. punk rock scene, your first show at the 9:30 Club might as well have been Royal Albert Hall or Madison Square Garden," Grohl told the Washington Post in a 2010 article.

Tickets for Thursday night's show are limited to two per person. Tickets are non-transferable and must be picked up at will call Thursday night.

Starting Oct. 17, everyone attending events at I.M.P. venues will be required to show proof of a full vaccination against COVID-19. Until then, the venues' previously announced policy requiring proof of full vaccination against COVID-19 or a negative test from the past 72 hours, along with a matching photo ID, will remain in effect.

The policy applies to all I.M.P. venues: 9:30 Club, Merriweather Post Pavilion, The Anthem and Lincoln Theatre.
