I.M.P. is an independent concert promotion and production company that puts on shows for 500 to 50,000 fans at a time. The company started small — small enough to fit into a kid’s bedroom. In the 36 years since I.M.P. opened its (bedroom) doors, it has presented more than 15,000 events, hosting millions of music fans. Some of the highlights include:

Lollapalooza – promoted every year it was a touring festival (1991 to 1996).
Merriweather Post Pavilion – took over operations and programming beginning 2004 and is ongoing today.
Virgin Festival – launched the U.S. festival, produced and promoted each year it existed (from 2006-2013).
Lincoln Theatre – began operating, programming and promoting starting 2013 and ongoing.

In addition, I.M.P. produces and promotes shows at other D.C.-area venues, including RFK Stadium, The Verizon Center, Echostage, Eagle Bank Arena, DAR Constitutional Hall, The National Mall, U Street Music Hall, the Music Center at Strathmore, and in Baltimore, The Modell Performing Arts Center at The Lyric and The Meyerhoff Symphony Hall.
