This season, the buzz in concert-land is mostly all concentrated in one area: the new Wharf neighborhood in D.C.’s Southwest Waterfront. Surely you’ve heard about the Anthem, the 9:30 Club’s built-from-scratch bigger brother, which opens next month with the Foo Fighters, LCD Soundsystem, and Tegan and Sara, among others.
Yet the 6,000-capacity Anthem is only the biggest of three music venues to come to the Wharf. Also opening Thursday, Oct. 12, is the 300-capacity Pearl Street Warehouse from the team behind Cantina Marina. Waiting in the wings: The 450-capacity Union Stage from the owners of Virginia’s Jammin Java, opening date to be announced.

Elsewhere, there’s the return — and expansion — of the All Things Go Fall Classic. There’s Tori Amos, who steps into Cher’s shoes to make her MGM National Harbor debut. Of course, Diva Central remains downtown. And in addition to Janet, Gaga, Katy and Bruno, the re-christened Capital One Arena presents a headlining show from the newest bisexual diva around, Halsey.

Cheyenne Jackson, Emily Saliers, Kesha, Billy Gilman, Rufus Wainwright — the season offers an impressive assortment of LGBTQ stars all around us. So get out and get your concert on.

ALL THINGS GO FALL CLASSIC

• After a year at Yards Park, the annual indie-pop festival returns to its somewhat smaller, original venue. But make no mistake, the Fall Classic is bigger than ever, expanding in its fourth year from a single Saturday outing with eight or so bands to a full, three-day weekend featuring 26 acts. The New York-based nu-disco/electro-pop duo and festival mainstay The Knocks help kick things off Friday, Oct. 6, along with headliner Galantis, the sharp Swedish electronic/dance duo. Bearson, jackLNDN, Win and Woo, and Lightwaves round out the first day lineup. Rising Atlanta rapper Young Thug leads a hip-hop-heavy bill the next day — Vince Staples, Saba, Kweku Collins, Jay IDK, Innanet James, April, and Vista — plus Norwegian alt-R&B producer Cashmere Cat. If you can only go for one day, though, it should be Sunday, Oct. 8, when the festival showcases three top-draw acts — Foster The People, Bleachers, and Betty Who — and also includes several promising up-and-coming acts, including Great Good Fine Ok, Fletcher, Foreign Air, Now, Now, and Young Futura. Single-day tickets are $64 for general admission or $150 for VIP, while a three-day pass costs $154, or $250 for VIP including quick entry, premium viewing areas, a dedicated cash bar, and festival swag.
