Three Days Grace
CFG Bank Arena — Baltimore, MD

Three Days Grace formed in Toronto in the late 90s and hit their stride in the mid-2000s with a brand of radio-friendly alternative rock that connected with people in genuine pain. Their debut album was solid, but it was "One-X" that cemented them as a legitimate force — that's where "I Hate Everything About You" and "Animal I Have Become" came from, songs about self-destruction and rage that somehow made it onto mainstream rock radio without feeling compromised. They've been remarkably consistent over two decades, releasing albums every few years without chasing trends or trying to reinvent themselves dramatically. If you've ever heard an alternative rock song about depression, self-harm, or emotional damage on the radio between 2005 and 2015, there's a solid chance it was them or it was heavily influenced by them. Adam Gontier left and came back, Matt Walst took over vocals, but the formula held. They're proof that you don't need to be innovative to be effective.

Their shows are legitimately intense. The crowd gets loud, sing-alongs are massive, and there's a real cathartic energy — people are working through something, and Three Days Grace meets them there. They're efficient, professional, rarely bad.

Three Days Grace rolled through Capital One Arena on March 17, 2025, proving they still know how to command a room. The set balanced their anthemic rage with deeper cuts—"The Mountain" and "Mayday" hit different live, less about radio hits and more about the weight they carry. "Chalk Outline" landed harder than expected, and closing with "Riot" felt like the only logical way to leave things. They've built something real with DC crowds over the years, the kind of loyalty that doesn't depend on singles alone.

Washington's rock scene has always been fragmented between hardcore punk politics and mainstream radio rock, which means Three Days Grace lands in an interesting middle ground. The city's seen plenty of post-grunge acts come through, but DC audiences tend to appreciate bands that don't take themselves too seriously. There's a solid contingent here for accessible hard rock that doesn't require a college radio education.

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.
