San Antonio: Spoon at Aztec Theatre
Spoon plays the Aztec Theatre in San Antonio on Wednesday, Dec. 30, 2026, at 8:00 PM, with tickets starting at $87. The show is the middle date of the Austin band’s three-night Texas run to close out the year, between the Longhorn Ballroom in Dallas on Dec. 29 and a New Year’s Eve hometown show at ACL Live in Austin.
Britt Daniel and drummer Jim Eno formed Spoon in Austin in 1993, and the band became one of the most acclaimed American rock bands of the 2000s. Albums like “Girls Can Tell,” “Kill the Moonlight,” “Gimme Fiction” and “Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga” were built on lean, rhythmic grooves and Daniel’s raspy voice, with songs such as “The Way We Get By,” “I Turn My Camera On” and “The Underdog” becoming indie rock staples.
Spoon’s most recent album, “Lucifer on the Sofa” (2022), returned to a rawer, more live-sounding approach and earned a Grammy nomination for Best Rock Album. In summer 2025 the band released “Chateau Blues” and “Guess I’m Fallin In Love,” its first new music in three years, and in 2026 it toured with New Zealand band The Beths. A year-end run through Texas has become a fitting way for the Austin band to celebrate at home.

The Aztec Theatre opened in 1926 near the San Antonio River and is known for its Mesoamerican-inspired design, with carved columns, murals and a giant chandelier. Restored in the 2000s, it now hosts concerts of every genre, and its size gives fans a closer look at a band that often plays much larger stages.

Doors typically open an hour before showtime. The Aztec Theatre is at 104 North St. Mary’s Street downtown, steps from the River Walk, with paid parking in nearby garages. The holiday week brings crowds downtown, so arrive early.
