Taylor Swift: Reputation Stadium Tour
Nobody can put on a spectacle of a show like Taylor Swift can, and she is coming to the DMV area for two nights on Tuesday and Wednesday, July 10 and 11, at FedEx Field in Landover, MD -- right outside of Washington, D.C. Whether you want to take your younger sister, niece, or daughter -- or even if you want to rock out with your girlfriends -- this will be one of the biggest concert events of the summer. Purchase tickets for both nights, here. [caption id="attachment_10211" align="alignnone" width="960"]
Shakira: El Dorado World Tour
Shakira was actually originally scheduled to perform in January, so if you couldn’t make it to that show, you’re in luck because she's moved it to August! You can now see Shakira in concert on Saturday, August 11 at the Capital One Arena at 7 p.m. If you love Latin music, dancing, and upbeat songs that will get you into the summer party mood, this a great concert to attend.
