Baltimore has a pretty developed metal scene, nothing much here, though.

That said, Dave Grohl is opening a new club/venue at some undisclosed time in the near-ish future: https://twitter.com/TheAtlantisDC. It's supposed to be a recreation of the early 9:30 club, so expect something punk/hardcore/metal-friendly.

It's IMP (9:30, The Anthem, MPP, Lincoln) not Dave Grohl owned. They may broaden what is booked, but I would guess metal will be rare.

Also if it’s supposed to be a recreation of the original, it’s going to be pretty small. That venue was only rated for like 200 people. Atlantis will probably be a competitor to Union Stage, which holds 450, and Songbyrd, which has 200. Could be a bit of a replacement for Rock and Roll hotel, which was about 400 as well.

Ah, that's disappointing . . . I thought we were getting a new independently-owned venue.
