Update 6/16/17: The concert already sold out.

Original: When a new concert venue at The Wharf holds its grand opening this October, the Foo Fighters will headline.

It’s a good fit for The Anthem, a $60 million venue on the Southwest Waterfront from the owners of the 9:30 Club, because Foo Fighters front man Dave Grohl has talked about how influential the original 9:30 Club on F Street was for him as a burgeoning musician growing up in Virginia.

“There was never any question about who would open. There was no Plan B,” said the chairman of I.M.P. and co-owner of the 9:30 Club and The Anthem, Seth Hurwitz, in a statement. “It was always just the Foos. I texted Dave some photos of the venue after we started building it and asked him ‘Who else should open it?’ He said ‘Nobody.’ That was the end of it.”

Hurwitz took Grohl on a walk-through during The Anthem’s construction, and it seems to have made an impression on the rocker. “The new place is set to become the number one venue in America, I sh!t you not,” said Grohl in a statement. “It has the illusion of a stadium, but the intimacy of a nightclub. It’s perfect.”

The forthcoming venue has a capacity of at least more than double the 9:30 Club—depending on how the stage is set up, it can accommodate between 2,500-6,000 people, versus the 9:30 Club’s 1,200.

Tickets for the October 12 show range in price from $100-$175 and go on sale this Friday at 10 a.m. Later this month, they’ll announce more than a dozen shows that will appear at The Anthem in 2017.
