The xx – Bandwidth http://bandwidth.wamu.org WAMU 88.5's New Music Site Tue, 02 Oct 2018 15:23:36 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.5.2 Photos: Union BBQ At Union Market http://bandwidth.wamu.org/photos-union-bbq/ http://bandwidth.wamu.org/photos-union-bbq/#comments Mon, 16 Jun 2014 15:17:42 +0000 http://bandwidth.wamu.org/?p=34185 When the redeveloped Union Market opened in 2012, it brought a new culinary emporium to a gentrifying section of Northeast. 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.
