Foo Fighters to Open Replica of D.C.'s Iconic 9:30 Club at The Atlantis.
The owners of Washington D.C.'s 9:30 Club are opening a replica of the original venue, called The Atlantis, with the Foo Fighters playing the first show on May 30. Nearly 40 other acts, including Gary Clark Jr., Billy Idol, and Maggie Rogers, will also perform at the 450-person capacity venue. Tickets for the opening shows will cost $44 and will be distributed through a lottery system to prevent scalping. The Atlantis will serve as a smaller venue for indie artists, and I.M.P., the company behind the 9:30 Club, hopes to solidify relationships with talent for more show dates.
