DC / Baltimore / DMV Global Music and More October 2025 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 (gigs @ Bossa and go-go shows are often just announced the week of the show); Work your way down day by day.
Calendar is posted, updated, and viewable here on the blog, and events listings are posted on my Bluesky and Threads & sometimes still tweeted. Calendar is linked on my Facebook & Instagram (& now has its own DC Global Music pages there where I post updates & video clips of dc gigs). Email list coming soon.
Gig list includes international (mainly African, Caribbean, Latin, Brazilian, Asian), roots, rap, soul, go-go, rock, punk, pop, gospel, blues, & club dj dance and more DMV & Baltimore & Annapolis gigs that I am interested in. Lots of local Ethiopian and Go-go. Some jazz but I mainly leave that to Capital Bop. Also some movies w/ music themes, and music book events. Additional gigs added after first posting have an *asterisk.* Events listed have been found on websites, Instagram, Facebook, email, postcards, flyers, tik-tok, & club voicemails.
Sorry for late October posting. I will also be updating it.
To submit events (for posting) or comments (that are not posted) e-mail stevenkiviat @ gmail.com
