Events at 9:30 Club, The Anthem, Lincoln Theatre postponed

The coronavirus continues to postpone events around the D.C. area.

Concert promotions company I.M.P. announced that starting Thursday, all events scheduled at the 9:30 Club, Lincoln Theatre and The Anthem, as well as “9:30 Club Presents” shows at U Street Music Hall, will be postponed for the remainder of March.

The move comes after D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser recommended that gatherings of 1,000 or more people be suspended until March 31.

Patrons who have tickets for Wednesday night’s shows can choose to attend as planned or contact I.M.P. for a refund.

Patrons who have tickets for other shows in March will be contacted by I.M.P. about rescheduling a new show date. If you are unable to attend on the new date, you may request a refund or tickets to another show of similar value.

“The health of our employees, patrons, community and artists is paramount,” I.M.P. communications director Audrey Fix Schaefer told WTOP. “We’re hoping everyone takes the precautions health experts have been sharing. We look forward to seeing everyone in April and beyond.”

Shows will resume according to schedule on April 1.

US strikes Iran and Tehran fires back as hostilities flare again

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. military hit targets in Iran on Tuesday and Tehran fired missiles and drones in response as hostilities flare once again in an intermittent war that has lasted more than six months. The U.S. strikes followed others on Sunday that abruptly ended a month without military action and threatened to fully reignite a conflict that has spiked global oil prices and posed political problems for Republicans in November's midterm congressional elections. The renewed fighting comes after President Donald Trump had appeared to pivot toward trying to bend Iran to his will through economic sanctions. “If the failed Nation of Iran retaliates for this very justified attack, they will be hit again at a much harder and higher level, but it will not be the biggest attack of them all, that is waiting in the wings,” Trump warned on social media. U.S. Central Command said the latest strikes were in response to Tehran trying to attack commercial ships and American forces in the Middle East. Trump offered an additional explanation, telling Fox News in a phone call that U.S. forces struck Iran's radars.
