“After throwing one of DC’s most epic parties this spring with Chris Lake and 10,000 electronic-music fans dancing against the backdrop of the iconic US Capitol dome, Club Glow is bringing the party back to Pennsylvania Avenue on Oct. 3 with legendary Grammy-winning DJ and producer Diplo leading a bill that includes tech house star Westend, singer/DJ Anabel Englund, breakout Monty Kiddo, DC’s own Ratalina and more.

The East Coast’s premier electronic-music event promotions company, Club Glow, will once again draw a crowd of thousands with electronic music’s biggest stars,

including Diplo, the Mad Decent founder, Major Lazer star and producer who pioneered blending house music, Miami bass music, favela funk and hip-hop, and forged iconic collaborations with Beyoncé, Justin Bieber, Skrillex and more.

A destination mini-festival just steps from the Capitol, National Gallery of Art and National Archives, the second Club Glow Block Party is sure to draw music fans from up and down the East Coast. The rain-or-shine Block Party will take place from 3-10 pm on Oct. 3 at 600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, with a sea of your favorite food vendors, activations and more.
