Austin: Switchfoot at Stubb’s Bar-B-Q
November 14 @ 7:00 pm - 11:00 pm
$72
San Diego rock band Switchfoot bring their Forever Now Tour to Stubb’s Bar-B-Q in Austin on Saturday, November 14, 2026, at 7:00 PM. Tickets start at $72, with Anberlin as special guests.
Formed in San Diego in the mid-1990s, Switchfoot broke into the mainstream with 2003’s “The Beautiful Letdown,” an album powered by the hit single “Meant to Live” that helped define early-2000s alternative rock radio. Fronted by Jon Foreman, the band has continued releasing music across two decades since, building a reputation for anthemic, hook-driven rock songs paired with introspective, searching lyrics.
Stubb’s outdoor amphitheater, with its big-room sound and downtown skyline backdrop, suits a co-headline bill built on two bands known for widescreen, singalong-ready rock choruses.
Anberlin, the Florida rock band joining Switchfoot on this run, made their own mark on 2000s alternative rock with albums like “Cities” and “New Surrender” before going on hiatus and later reuniting for new music and touring. Fans looking to make a full night of downtown Austin can also check out Mohawk, another well-known Austin venue nearby.
Stubb’s has been an Austin institution for decades, known as much for its barbecue as for the acts that have played its stage over the years, and the amphitheater’s blend of a covered stage with open sky above the crowd gives every show here a distinctly Austin feel. Visitors arriving early can grab dinner at the restaurant before heading out to the amphitheater, and the venue’s downtown-adjacent East Sixth Street location makes it an easy add-on to a broader night out in the city. Over the years the outdoor stage has hosted everyone from major national touring acts to local Austin favorites, and its combination of scale and character has made it one of the most recognizable concert venues in Central Texas.
Doors typically open about an hour before showtime. Stubb’s indoor BBQ restaurant is open beforehand for dinner, and the outdoor amphitheater offers both reserved and general-admission ticket options.
