DC / Baltimore/ DMV Global Music and more April 2024 Concert Calendar Gig List

 

DC/Baltimore /DMV Global Music and More – April 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). Work your way down day by day.  A little late this month in posting.

Calendar is posted, updated, and viewable here on the blog, and events tweeted @stevekiviat. Calendar is sometimes linked on my Facebook, Instagram, Bluesky, & Threads. It 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, email, postcards, flyers, tik-tok, What’s app, & club voicemails.

 To submit events (for posting) or comments (that are not posted) e-mail stevenkiviat @ gmail.com
