Austin: Arlo Parks at Mohawk
September 10 @ 7:00 pm - 11:00 pm
$32
Arlo Parks brings her hushed, poetic take on indie-pop to Mohawk in Austin on Thursday, September 10, 2026, with doors at 7:00 PM. Tickets start at $32 for a night with one of the UK’s most acclaimed young songwriters.
Born in London, Arlo Parks broke through with her 2021 debut album “Collapsed in Sunbeams,” a hushed, diary-like collection of songs about mental health, queer identity, and adolescent friendship that won the Mercury Prize and earned her a Brit Award for Best New Artist. Her follow-up, “My Soft Machine” (2023), pushed her sound toward a dreamier, more expansive indie-rock palette while keeping the intimate, conversational lyricism that made her a breakout star.
Mohawk’s mix of an intimate indoor room and a sprawling outdoor patio makes it a fitting stop for an artist whose music rewards close listening but who’s also built a devoted, festival-ready fanbase — Parks has played major stages like Coachella and Glastonbury without losing the hushed intimacy that defines her records.
Parks has become one of the most decorated voices of her generation, collecting a Brit Award, a Mercury Prize win, and a growing list of collaborations with artists like Phoebe Bridgers. Fans making a night of Austin’s East Side scene can also check out Hotel Vegas, another East Side room known for its intimate, DIY-leaning bills, just a short ride from Mohawk.
Beyond any single show, Mohawk has built a reputation among touring artists and fans alike for pairing serious sound quality with a laid-back, unpretentious East Side atmosphere — the kind of room where a big production can still feel like a neighborhood show. The dual indoor-outdoor layout gives visitors flexibility to catch the full set from the stage-front crowd or hang back on the patio with a drink in hand, and the venue’s sound team has earned a name among touring crews for dialing in a mix that works for quiet, intricate songwriting and full-volume rock alike. It’s one of the venues most closely associated with Austin’s East Side music renaissance over the past two decades, and a regular stop for both emerging acts and established headliners passing through the city.
Doors open at 7:00 PM ahead of an 8:00 PM set. Mohawk’s indoor stage offers close sightlines for a performer whose quiet, emotionally direct songwriting is best experienced up close, while the outdoor patio bar stays open for anyone who wants air between sets.
