Austin isn’t letting up—and neither should you. This week’s concert calendar is stacked with legends, genre-benders, and future obsessions. Whether you’re chasing nostalgic synths, gritty punk, or sweaty dancefloor chaos, there’s a show (or five) with your name on it.

Monday, May 12

Toro Y Moi & Panda Bear at Stubb’s
A pairing so smooth it could cure your Sunday scaries. Expect psychedelic visuals, warped beats, and a crowd swaying in slow motion.

Chloe Moriondo at Antone’s
Sad girl pop with teeth. Chloe brings heart, humor, and hooks—don’t sleep on her rise.

Tuesday, May 13

Florist at Antone’s
Delicate, poetic, and quietly powerful. Florist’s music is a gentle ache in sound form—perfect for a tender Tuesday reset.

Wednesday, May 14

Empire of the Sun at Moody Amphitheater
Theatrical. Transcendent. Synth-pop you can see from space. Come for the hits, stay for the headpieces.

Matisyahu at Stubb’s
He’s still blending reggae, rap, and spirituality like no one else. A mellow, magnetic midweek option.

Wild Nothing at Radio/East
Your indie dreamscape awaits. Perfect for a twilight swoon.

Electric Six at Antone’s
High-voltage absurdity. Think dance-punk chaos and maybe a song about fire in the disco.

Buckethead at Emo’s
A mysterious guitar god in a KFC bucket. You’ll leave confused, amazed, and a little changed.

Lupita D’Alessio at Moody Center

Soulja Boy at Empire
Tell ‘em. Whether you’re here for the memes or the moves, it’s guaranteed fun.

Maribou State at Emo’s
Layered, electronic bliss. Think late-night vibes with a pulse.

Mike at Stubb’s
New York introspection meets chopped soul samples. One for the heads.

Wild Party at 3Ten
Appropriately named—expect jangly guitars and a good time.

Glowdeo at Far Out Lounge
Boots, beats, and disco western energy. This one’s gonna be loud and glittery.

The Damned at Radio/East
Punk royalty. Pure adrenaline, pure attitude.

Ivan Cornejo at Moody Center
Sad sierreño for the heartbroken and the healed. Bring tissues (and a date).

Bad Nerves at Mohawk
Fast, furious UK punk. No frills, all thrill.

I Hate Models at Concourse Project
Industrial techno to summon your inner demon on the dancefloor.
