WASHINGTON — The District’s latest entertainment venue opens this week with a sold-out Foo Fighters show.

But before you rock out Thursday night, a soft opening Sunday gave a sneak peak of the stage and its many offerings at The Wharf destination, as part of D.C.’s new Southwest Waterfront development.

See photos from Sunday’s soft opening at The Anthem.
