Union Stage: The Pulse of DC’s Waterfront

From the moment our doors opened in 2017, our namesake venue cemented itself as DC’s go-to hub for high-quality, high-enjoyment shows in the city’s newest revitalized entertainment district. One of the first three anchor venues on the Wharf, Union Stage’s programming hit the ground running and hasn’t stopped–thanks to ingenuity and know-how from our staff, the Union Stage team was even able to keep bringing our community top-notch entertainment thanks to live-streams during the height of Covid pandemic. We know that a great show is nothing without high-quality amenities, high-quality community, and, of course, high-quality vibes; our commitment to bringing you a great night out doesn’t stop with the acts on-stage. Whether it’s our state-of-the-art sound and lighting systems, our best-in-town pizzas in the Tap Room upstairs, or a warm and welcoming, community-focused environment for everyone who steps through the doors, Union Stage is committed to bringing the DC scene the best of the best night after night.

Home to wish-you’d-been-there early career shows from the likes of Brent Faiyez, Orville Peck, Doja Cat, and Ethel Cain (just to name a few), underplays from established mainstays like The Hives, and a range of comedy, podcasts, open mics, drag shows, local legends, and more, Union Stage has a show for anyone looking for any vibe.
