WASHINGTON, D.C. – Jan. 24, 2017 –I.M.P., the independent concert promotions and production company that owns the 9:30 Club, reveals today the long-awaited name of its new venue: The Anthem. The $60 million concert venue is part of The Wharf, the Southwest Waterfront development by PN Hoffman and Madison Marquette. Opening its doors for the first time October 12, 2017, and just blocks from the National Mall, The Anthem will have a flexible capacity of anywhere from 2,500 to a maximum of 6,000, with numerous seated and general admission configurations. It accomplishes this as the 9:30 Club does, via a moveable stage and backdrop, virtually undetectable from one capacity to another.
