DC / Baltimore / DMV Global Music and More December 2024
Concert Calendar Gig List
Compiled &
curated list of area gigs by local and touring bands and djs by Steve
Kiviat. List is edited and updated
frequently (go-go shows are often just announced the week of the show; Lamont’s
soul shows also). Work your way down day by day. Sorry this is late this month.
Calendar is posted, updated, and viewable here on the blog,
and events tweeted @stevekiviat. Calendar is sometimes linked on my Facebook,
Instagram, Bluesky, & Threads. Email list coming soon. List includes
international (mainly African, Caribbean, Latin, Brazilian), roots, rap, soul,
go-go, rock, punk, pop, gospel, club dj dance and more DMV & Baltimore
& Annapolis gigs that I am interested in.
Lots of local Ethiopian and Go-go.
Additional gigs added after first posting have an *asterisk.* Events listed have been found on websites,
Instagram, Facebook, Twitter/x, email, postcards, flyers, tik-tok, What’s app,
& club voicemails.
