Hatsune Miku
The Anthem — Washington, DC

Hatsune Miku brought her digital presence to The Anthem in Washington DC on May 5, 2024, delivering a 24-song set that ranged from early deep cuts to recent material. The show opened with her self-titled track before diving into fan favorites like "Vampire" and "World is Mine," but the real surprises came in the middle stretch—"Literacy" and "Fräulein=Biblioteca" showed off the stranger, more experimental side of her catalog, while "Hyper Reality Show" closed out the main set with the kind of kinetic energy that only a holographic performer can sustain. "Highlight" served as the final bow, leaving the crowd with something quiet and reflective after nearly two hours of relentless pop, rock, and experimental electronica.

DC's electronic and experimental music scene has always had an appetite for the unconventional—the city's history of underground synth and industrial acts created natural ground for Miku's brand of digital pop. The Anthem itself represents the district's shift toward mid-size venues that can handle both traditional rock bands and elaborate electronic productions. Washington's tech-forward audience and art crowd have repeatedly shown they'll engage with music that pushes beyond the physical, making it a natural stop for Miku's tour circuit.

Stay in Georgetown or Capitol Hill, both walkable neighborhoods with excellent restaurants and bars. Book a table at Kinfolk in Capitol Hill for refined New American cooking, or head to Pineapple and Pearls for something more elaborate if you want to splurge. During the day, the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden offers world-class contemporary art without the crowds of the main Smithsonians. Walk the C&O Canal towpath if the weather cooperates. Hit up one of the city's serious record shops like Smash! Records before the show.
