All Things Go 2025: The Artists We’re Most Excited About In DC, NYC And Toronto

What started in DC has grown into a multi-city, genre-blurring celebration of sharp songwriting, indie grit, and boundary-pushing pop. This year, All Things Go stretches across three cities: Washington, DC; New York City; and, for the first time, Toronto; all within one week. The lineups are stacked with fan favorites, buzzy newcomers, and artists who’ve been quietly reshaping music while the mainstream wasn’t looking. Here’s who we can’t wait to see.

Noah Kahan

Where to see him: DC (Friday Sept 26)

Few artists have had a sharper rise than Noah Kahan in the past couple of years. The New England singer-songwriter has become something of a Gen Z Springsteen with his raw and reflective music; and unafraid to wrestle with mental health, identity, and small-town claustrophobia. His Stick Season album and its deluxe edition are still dominating streaming platforms, and his shows feel more like massive therapy sessions with thousands of fans screaming along to every word.

Doechii

Where to see her: DC (Sunday Sept 28), NYC (Saturday Sept 27)

Following her Best Rap Album win at the GRAMMY this year, Doechii is a star in motion. Since breaking out with “Yucky Blucky Fruitcake,” she’s kept her momentum with bold, genre-defying tracks and a style that refuses to be boxed in. Her latest album Alligator Bites Never Heal proved she’s not afraid to experiment, and her live shows are packed with charisma and controlled chaos.
With her energy, sharp flows, and a whole lot of unpredictability, her set will be a must-see. She’s fun, fierce, and on the cusp of something big. Catch her now before she levels up again.

The Last Dinner Party

Where to see them: DC (Friday Sept 26), NYC (Sunday Sept 28)

The Last Dinner Party has turned skepticism into obsession. When the British glam-rock collective burst onto the scene, some critics questioned the hype. Then the debut album Prelude to Ecstasy dropped, and it shut everyone up. With gothic flair, baroque instrumentation, and hooks that hit hard, they’ve proved they’re more than just an aesthetic.
Their live shows are full theatrical experiences, part opera, part mosh pit. Expect drama, velvet, and maybe a little chaos. Their spot on this lineup feels like a coronation.

Maude Latour

Where to see her: DC (Sunday Sept 28), NYC (Friday Sept 26)

Maude Latour is the kind of artist who turns casual listeners into loyal followers in three songs or less. Her indie-pop catalog is full of clever lyricism, glittery synths, and a sense of emotional openness that makes it all feel intimate, even in big settings. Her newest track “Miss America,” released on April 25, 2025. The song is a tribute to queer love and a reflection on the state of the country.
She’s known for giving every set 110%, chatting between songs like it’s a sleepover, and pulling fans right into her orbit. Expect screaming, crying, and dancing in equal measure.

Remi Wolf

Where to see her: NYC (Saturday Sept 27), Toronto (Saturday Oct 4)

Remi’s not interested in staying in one lane. Her latest tracks pull from funk, alt-pop, and a little punk chaos. It’s messy in a good way. Her lyrics are weird and wonderful, and her delivery feels like she’s fighting off a giggle half the time.
Live, she’s a total firecracker. No backing track safety net, just full-force vocals and a whole lot of cardio. Her shows are colorful, sweaty, and deeply fun. You won’t walk away bored.

The Marías

Where to see them: DC (Friday Sept 26), NYC (Sunday Sept 28)

Chill, dreamy, and a little seductive, The Marías bring a mood. Their 2024 release, Submarine, took their psych-pop roots and gave them a pulse. They’ve added more movement to their sound without losing the hazy magic that made them stand out in the first place.
If you’ve seen them opening for Billie Eilish on her lastest tour, you know their set will be a palette cleanser. Grab a drink, sway a little, and let frontwoman María Zardoya’s voice wash over you.

Kesha

Where to see her: DC (Sunday Sept 28)

Kesha’s latest chapter has been one of resilience and reinvention. Kesha’s sixth studio album, . (PERIOD) is an unapologetic, unfiltered declaration of artistic freedom and fearless authenticity from the pop icon.
Her festival sets will deliver the hits. You’ll get “Tik Tok.” You’ll get “Praying.” You might even get glitter. But underneath all of it is an artist who’s survived a storm and come out swinging. Watching her perform now feels like witnessing something real and really powerful.

Charlotte Cardin

Where to see her: Toronto (Sunday Oct 5)

Montreal’s Charlotte Cardin keeps rising. Her second album, 99 Nights, built on the sleek minimalism of her earlier work and gave her more room to flex both vocally and emotionally. She’s carved out a niche that fuses French chanson drama with alt-pop edge.
She’s already huge in Canada, but this spot on the All Things Go lineup puts her in front of a fresh crowd, and that’s exciting. Her live vocals are killer, and she brings a quiet storm energy that sneaks up on you in the best way.

Joy Oladokun

Where to see her: DC (Friday Sept 26), NYC (Sunday Sept 28), Toronto (Sunday Oct 5)

Joy Oladokun is playing everywhere at All Things Go this year, and honestly, that feels right. She’s one of the most emotionally resonant songwriters out there, mixing folk, soul, and pop with lyrics that feel like journal entries you weren’t supposed to read but can’t stop re-reading.
Her most recent album, Observations From A Crowded Room, feels like a warm hug. And live, her voice is even more captivating. Joy doesn’t need pyrotechnics or choreography. Just a mic and your attention.

Reneé Rapp

Where to see her: Toronto (Saturday Oct 4)

Reneé Rapp is on a rocket. After breaking out in The Sex Lives of College Girls and making a Broadway name in Mean Girls, she dropped Snow Angel, one of the strongest debut pop albums in recent memory. As of a few days ago, she released her second album Bite Me. It’s sharp. It’s angsty. It’s funny. It’s queer. It’s real.
Her shows are an explosion of emotion, think Lorde meets Olivia Rodrigo with a side of Gen Z sarcasm. Get ready for catharsis.
