PowerPage Nightcap: From the Wharf to Indio
Friday’s concert news gave Baltimore listeners three very different clocks to watch. Inayah is due at the Wharf on Monday. Doja Cat has two arena dates a day apart next weekend, one in Baltimore and one in Washington. SZA’s Coachella shows are months away, but Friday was the day the festival put passes on sale. Tonight’s PowerPage Nightcap starts with the smallest room and works its way out to the desert.
Before Inayah sings a note of “Choose,” there’s a voice worth listening for. Union Stage says the recording draws on audio from one of the singer’s therapy sessions. That makes the single a particularly good introduction to the “Therapy Wasn’t Enough” tour. Listen to “Choose” before the show and hear how much the conversation tells you about the decision in the song. Doors at Union Stage open at 7 p.m. Monday, November 16th, an hour before showtime.
For Doja Cat, the choice comes after the encore. Both CFG Bank Arena on Friday, November 20th, and Capital One Arena on Saturday, November 21st, list a 7:30 p.m. start. Baltimore fans considering the Washington date have one extra piece of homework. The weekend Penn Line timetable changes that Saturday, and its last listed northbound departure from Union Station is 10:55 p.m. Compare the two arena nights while there’s still time to work out a ride home.
SZA fans planning for Coachella can use the same trick on a bigger map. Start with the day you need to be there. SZA headlines Sunday, April 11th, and Sunday, April 18th, in Indio. A Sunday flight home could mean leaving before the set you bought the pass to hear. Our Coachella guide lays out the two weekends and the festival’s separate shuttle and lodging options.
One record to play before Monday, one train to check before next Saturday, and one Sunday to keep free in April. That’s the weekend calendar through the ears of Inayah, Doja Cat and SZA.
