Merriweather Post Pavilion

Throughout a catalog streamed nearly half-a-billion times and highlighted by multiple gold and platinum certified singles / albums, All Time Low have continually raised the bar for both pop and punk. Since 2003, the group has notched five straight Top 10 entries on the Billboard Top 200, spanning the gold-certified Nothing Personal [2009], Dirty Work [2011], Future Hearts [2015], and Last Young Renegade [2017]. The latter attracted tastemaker acclaim from the likes of Rolling Stone, Paste, and more as the band canvassed the world, headlining arenas on three continents. 2019 saw All Time Low celebrating the anniversary of Nothing Personal, an album that’s influence remains prevalent with Rock Sound citing its impact on Fall Out Boy, 5 Seconds of Summer, and more. After nearly two decades together, All Time Low rekindled the spark they first ignited in a Baltimore basement on their 2020 full-length studio album, Wake Up, Sunshine. These four lifelong friends walked into a tiny room, plugged in, and turned up with the same spirit, but with more experience, and proficiency gained from performing to millions worldwide. As a result, they delivered Wake Up, Sunshine, a captivating body of work featuring the hit single “Monsters” (feat. blackbear), which spent 18 weeks atop Billboard’sAlternative Airplay chart and became the longest charting song ever on the Alternative Radio Mediabase chart. A brand-new version of “Monsters” was released at the end of 2020 featuring both blackbear and global super star Demi Lovato. “Monsters” recently earned All Time Low nominations for “Alternative Song of the Year” and “Alternative Artist of the Year” at the 2022 iHeartRadio Music Awards, in addition to nominations for “Top Rock Song” at the 2021 Billboard Music Awards and “Favorite Rock Artist” at the 2021 American Music Awards. In 2021, the band returned with new singles “Once In A Lifetime” and “PMA” (Feat. Pale Waves). 
Tickets for all three DC/Baltimore area shows will go on sale at the same time, and will be offered as various combination tickets. The only way to attend The Atlantis and/or 9:30 Club shows will be to purchase a bundled ticket along with Merriweather Post Pavilion. Please view the options carefully, as each bundle offers specific details, not only for which show(s) you want to attend, but also whether you will have a Pit ticket or a seated pavilion ticket.Tickets available for multiple shows are extremely limited, and once sold out, you will not have the ability to exchange for a different bundle, so please choose carefully.

The Collective Encore

Our favorite native son celebrates his sixth album release at Encore. Every ticket comes with a signed copy of the album on limited edition vinyl.
Josh Christina’s UFOs over Phoenix Album Release Party
<ul><li>Your ticket includes a new limited edition green vinyl signed by Josh himself</li><li>It’ll be the first time the full album will be performed by the band live!</li><li>We will offer a special themed cocktail for the evening</li></ul>
The cosmos have aligned and the wait is over! Josh Christina, the musical maestro hailed as the 21st-century torchbearer of rock 'n' roll, is set to releasing his newest album, "UFOs Over Phoenix."&nbsp;
Five years in the making, "UFOs Over Phoenix" stands as a testament to Christina's resilience and dedication. The album's creation was put on hold due to the pandemic and the tragic loss of his grandparents to COVID-19. Now, emerging from these personal shadows, Christina brings an album brimming with raw emotion and live-recorded authenticity, inviting listeners into his world of sonic exploration. The inspiration behind "UFOs Over Phoenix" draws from the infamous Phoenix Lights conspiracy, paralleling an unexplainable relationship at its core. The song delves into themes of trust, suspicion, and the elusive nature of human connections, much like the mysterious UFOs that captivated Phoenix. With the current global fascination with UFOs, this track is both timely and timeless, weaving topical fiction into its rock 'n roll!
