Pop, Rock, Folk and Jazz: Fall Arts Music Preview 2016

Some of pop’s biggest acts will pass through town this season — and there are plenty of deserving alternatives if you can’t score tickets to Adele at the Verizon Center or Green Day at the 9:30 Club. For instance, for Adele-lovers there’s the phenomenal Andra Day at Lincoln Theatre, and check out PWR BTTM at The Rock and Roll Hotel, a scrappier and far gayer Green Day.

Speaking of gay, there are a plethora of LGBT acts to catch this season, from the Pet Shop Boys at the Warner and Indigo Girls at Rams Head Live, to Brandy Clark at the Birchmere and Mama’s Black Sheep at Jammin Java. But if you really want to get carried away and bounce, head over to The Howard for the one, the only Big Freedia.

ALL THINGS GO FALL CLASSIC

Yards Park at the Capitol Riverfront
M Street and New Jersey Avenue SE
allthingsgofallclassic.com

• Annual music festival moves to the Navy Yards area for its third year. Giddy group chants are about the only distinguishing characteristics of both headlining acts Empire of the Sun and Passion Pit, with third-billed Sylvan Esso finding far more appeal with the approach. The middle-tier acts are the real draws, from the sharp sometimes-bilingual synth-pop of rising French act Christine and the Queens, to the sludgy pop-rock of Scottish-born singer-songwriter Bishop Briggs, to the Brooklyn-based house duo Sofi Tukker. Also on tap: Pop Etc and rapper Ace Cosgrove (10/8)
