DC is chocked full of some of the best clubs in the country, including the Rolling Stone-acclaimed 9:30 Club. With over five artists in September alone having to add a second show because their first was so high in demand, you can tell this fall’s DC roster for concerts is better than ever.

Check out the five best picks below.

  • 5. Clean Bandit at 9:30 Club (Sept 18) The fusion between Clean Bandit’s classical strings, electronic synths and plethora of undiscovered, featured artists is not to be missed. Get your tickets fast for their debut 9:30 Club performance.

  • 3. Kiesza at U Street Music Hall (Sept 29) The new “It Girl” in music is coming to U Street Music Hall on Sept 29. “Hideaway” singer Kiesza plans to bring the roof down with her ’80s and ’90s influenced music. Throwback to the future, anyone?

  • 2. Banks at 9:30 Club (Sept 26) The soulful songstress has been one of the year’s biggest breakouts, and with her album, “Goddess,” about to drop next week, this September show is bound to be one of the best of the season.
