You can’t throw a proverbial rock across the Potomac River without hitting a DMV music festival.
In recent weeks, Maryland hosted the M3 Rock Festival at Merriweather Post Pavilion, D.C. hosted Project GLOW Fest at RFK Stadium and Virginia hosted the Something in the Water music festival in Virginia Beach.
If you missed those events, don’t worry, there are plenty of other music festivals coming to the D.C. area this year.
