1. April 2: Muse

The three-member English rock band will be performing at Capital One Arena. The show starts at 7:30 p.m., and ticket prices start at just $44 on Ticketmaster if you don’t mind the nosebleeds. But if you’re a superfan, there are still some tickets left on the floor. If you live for alternative music, then this the show for you. Plus, it’s not super expensive if you’re OK with sitting in the back of the arena just to giving the band a try.

2.  April 5: Jess Glynne

This British R&B and pop singer will be performing at Lincoln Theatre in Washington, D.C. The show starts at 8 p.m., and this is a Friday so homework can’t even get in the way of your attendance. She is best known for her feature in “Rather Be” by Clean Bandit. If you’re looking for a concert full of ballads to dance it out with your friends, then this concert would be perfect. This concert is a little pricier starting around $60 because a lot of tickets have been sold already. However, there are more tickets available for her concert in Pennsylvania on April 6 if you can get the transportation.
