Ripe Kessler Theater Tickets

Ripe Kessler Theater Funk and Pop Show

Ripe and the Kessler Theater close out Thanksgiving weekend on Sunday, November 29, with a high-energy dance party in Oak Cliff. Ripe is a funk and alt-pop band that first came together at Berklee College of Music in Boston. Today the group is based in Los Angeles, but its horn-powered sound still carries plenty of East Coast grit.

The band released its debut studio album, Joy in the Wild Unknown, in 2018. Then, in 2023, it followed with Bright Blues, its first album for Glassnote Records. In addition, Ripe has built a huge reputation as a live act, thanks to tight grooves, bright horns and nonstop energy. Because the band has toured relentlessly and played major festivals, its fan base keeps growing. As a result, a Ripe show often feels more like a party than a concert.

About the Kessler Theater

The Kessler Theater is a restored Art Deco theater in the heart of Oak Cliff. It first opened in the early 1940s, and singing cowboy Gene Autry once held a stake in the building. Since its 2010 reopening as a music venue, the room has hosted folk, rock, blues and soul acts from around the world. Overall, it offers a rare mix of history, comfort and great acoustics.

Show Details & Tickets

Ripe takes the stage at The Kessler Theater, 1230 W Davis St in Dallas, on Sunday, November 29, 2026, at 8:00 PM. Since this is a holiday weekend, the Ripe Kessler Theater show is a great way to burn off that extra pie.

Doors typically open about an hour before the show, which leaves time to find a good spot. In addition, Oak Cliff has a lively food scene, so a pre-show meal nearby is easy to plan. Parking can be tight on weekends, so it helps to carpool or use a rideshare.

There is always something worth hearing in Oak Cliff. In addition to this show, you can browse more upcoming concerts at The Kessler Theater on Texas Music Map.
