The D.C. Funk/Punk spectacular—a celebration of the city’s history of funk and punk music—is happening at the 9:30 Club on May 5, and while the lineup is pretty great in its own right—Trouble Funk and The Don’t Need It’s are playing—it’s what the poster subtly hints at that’s really exciting: That the surprise guests will be Foo Fighters and Bad Brains.
The Post’s Alex Baldinger first figured out that the Foo Fighters are probably playing, spotting a unique symbol that only die hard ’90s alt-rock nostalgists would recognize (the symbol from the cover of Foo Fighters’ The Colour and the Shape). Upon closer inspection, I saw something that only harDCore nostalgist would immediately recognize and suggest that legendary D.C. hardcore band Bad Brains are also playing. Take a look at the poster below, specifically the image of the U.S. Capitol Building, and tell me I’m wrong:

Yeah, it’s basically this:

Considering that The Don’t Need It’s feature Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl (who’s also emceeing the event) and Bad Brains’ Darryl Jenifer and Dr. Know, I’d say this isn’t too much of a stretch.
Tickets for the show are on sale now only available at the 9:30 Club’s box office. There’s a two ticket limit per person. Box office hours can be found here.
