Celebrate the end of midterms with the some of the District’s best concerts of the year. Rock, pop and electronic dance music superstars grace the 9:30 Club and Echostage stages throughout this week and weekend.

Flight Facilities started when duo Hugo Gruzman and James Lyell began remixing an assortment of popular songs like “Heart Attack ft. Owl Eyes (Snakehips Remix)” in Sydney, Australia in 2009. Their first original song, “Crave You,” helped the duo rise on the charts.
In October 2014, Australian band Flight Facilities released their first album “Down to Earth.”

Teenage Fanclub, a Scottish alternative band, alternates between three writers who each sing their own pieces. The five-member band has released 10 studio albums and two compilation albums.
