Join hundreds of thousands of DC, Maryland, and Virginia residents and visitors on the National Mall tonight for a star studded concert honoring our nation’s veterans.  The concert will feature the Black Keys, Rihanna, Bruce Springsteen, Dave Grohl, Metallica, Carrie Underwood, Eminem, and many more familiar names. For those of us who attended the pre-Inauguration concert honoring President Obama six or so years ago, this event promises to be similarly crowded and hopefully just as fun.  Look out for some rarely seen duets between some of these diverse musicians.  Make sure to check out the event map to find out where you can enter and exit the concert grounds, and pay attention to the list of items you cannot bring on the metro today.

Insider’s tip:  Skip the long lines on the metro after the show and grab a drink at Hawk ‘n’ Dove on Capitol Hill after the concert.
