This week’s batch of show announcements proves one thing: Austin’s live calendar never sleeps. Whether you're chasing mosh pits, moody synths, late-night DJ sets, or a night of laughs, there’s something freshly added to the docket—and some heavy hitters have officially joined the schedule.
First up, Kali Uchis is bringing her Sincerely tour to the Moody Center on August 31, riding high on the momentum of her critically acclaimed fifth studio album. It’s a massive pop/R&B moment that’s sure to sell fast. Just a few months later, Billy Strings returns for a two-night run—first at Moody Center on December 13, then a special intimate night at ACL Live on December 14. Whether you’ve seen him shred or not, this is peak-level bluegrass and jam band magic.
Latin pop fans should mark December 6 on their calendar: chart-topping duo Jesse & Joy will hit Emo’s, bringing a catalog full of romantic anthems and crossover hits. Over at Stubb’s, French disco-pop icons L’Impératrice are making their Austin return on October 26, with a show that promises groove-heavy euphoria under the stars.
Legacy acts are showing up strong too—Lionel Richie is booked for the Paramount Theatre on October 1, reminding us that timeless hits (and all-night long dance parties) never go out of style. And if comedy is more your speed, George Lopez is back in town for a show at ACL Live on July 18.
This week also brought surprises from the world of hip-hop, experimental soul, and alternative cool. NxWorries—the duo of Anderson .Paak and Knxwledge—land at Stubb’s on October 8, while Killer Mike will bring MICHAEL to life at Radio/East on September 12 in what’s guaranteed to be an electrifying, intimate set. On the rap front, NBA YoungBoy is making a big return with a headlining night at Moody Center on September 5—one of the most high-profile hip-hop bookings this fall.
Indie darling Neil Francis dropped a new Mohawk date for September 25, and Kyle Mooney—yes, that Kyle Mooney—is heading to Mohawk too, bringing his absurdist brilliance to the stage on August 1. Meanwhile, cult favorite Alex G will be playing Stubb’s on September 30, marking a rare Austin stop for one of indie’s most enigmatic singer-songwriters. And don't forget Hot Summer Nights: the beloved Red River mini-fest returns July 24–26 with a mix of locals, legends, and everything in between.
That’s just the beginning. Norteño superstars Intocable are bringing their massive catalog to the H-E-B Center on November 14, and rising Texas favorite Waylon Wyatt headlines Antone’s six days later. Over at ACL Live, rock powerhouse Nothing More announced a big play for January 24—expect a theatrical, high-octane show full of riffs and screams. Meanwhile, Matroda is locked in for an August 30 date at Concourse Project, bringing his punchy house beats and underground energy to one of the city’s best-sounding rooms.
Indie-electro cult favorites Anamanaguchi land at Emo’s on September 19, and German producer Christian Löffler brings his lush, moody electronica to Parish on July 17. Other just-announced highlights include Beach Fossils at Mohawk, soulful multi-instrumentalist Dargz at Antone’s, introspective rapper Phora at Empire, shimmering synth-rock trio Nation of Language, folk-pop darlings Oliver Hazard, post-punk mystics French Police, and retro-futurist producer The Polish Ambassador—all now officially on the calendar.
Even with our weekly “Just Announced” carousel on Instagram, we can’t fit every show in a square post. That’s why this feature is here—to keep you looped in on the full picture.
