Ear-splitting local bands Citadel and Disciples of Christ opened, demonstrating once again the strength of D.C.’s metal scene. But as intense as those acts were, it would have been tough to top the sheer force of Richmond headliner Windhand, who delivered a crushing, raucous set that didn’t bring an assault on the eardrums so much as an invasion.

It quickly become a foodie destination—but it’s since grown beyond a bougie food market, hosting a drive-in film series, Washington City Paper‘s Crafty Bastards, and now, an outdoor electronic-music festival.

Saturday, a couple of thousand people flocked to Dock 5—the warehouse venue behind Union Market—for the first Union BBQ, a daylong festival booked by U Street Music Hall.

The lineup united a few different strains of local and international electronic music: The xx’s Jamie xx headlined the outdoor stage, with warm-up sets from former locals Tittsworth and Nadastrom, among others; the inside stage hosted a full and diverse slate, including Animal Collective’s Geologist and Deakin, Virginia resident (and Netherlands native) Martyn, and event co-organizer Will Eastman, alongside acts like Montreal’s Kaytranada and San Francisco’s Viceroy.

Below, scroll through Bandwidth’s photos from some of the night’s performances.
