Hopefully you survived Cinco de Mayo (aka St. Patrick’s Day’s lame cousin) and you’re ready for the weekend, because it should be a good one.

The Plan
- Friday: It’s a weekend of sold-out shows. Tonight is Tame Impala and Yuck. Failing (or in addition to) that, Wolf + Lamb and Soul Clap hit U Hall in support of their DJ Kicks mix; it’s an important night for dance music.
- Saturday: Next up on Shows You Should Be At: CSS and Sleigh Bells co-headline at 9:30 Club. The perfect after-party, KIDS, is right down the street at DC9.
- Sunday: Two Next Big Things visit the nation’s capital: Donald Glover / Childish Gambino is at the Black Cat and James Blake is across town at the Rock and Roll Hotel. Predictably, both have been long sold out.
The Soundtrack
Low-Bee made his bones as half of Hollertronix with Diplo, so you know his party-starting skills are top notch. On Heavy Warmup Vol 6, Bee gets busy with some old school hip hop jams before breaking into some new school dancehall vibes. The perfect soundtrack for a BBQ this weekend.
