Austin: Hilary Duff at Germania Insurance Amphitheater
2026-06-28 18:30 (America/Chicago) | Germania Insurance Amphitheater, 9201 Circuit of the Americas Boulevard, Austin, TX, 78617, United States
Austin knows how to welcome someone back in style. On Sunday, June 28, 2026, Hilary Duff brings The Lucky Me Tour to Germania Insurance Amphitheater at 9201 Circuit of the Americas Blvd. Doors open at 5:30 PM, and the show starts at 6:30 PM. Special guests La Roux and Jade LeMac join her for the evening. This is an all-ages show — and a full-circle moment for an entire generation of fans who grew up with one of pop music’s most enduring figures.

This is Duff’s first major tour since the Dignity Tour in 2007–2008 — nearly 20 years off the road. Furthermore, she initially returned to performing live in a few modest-sized venues that sold out in minutes before graduating to arenas across North America, Europe, the UK, Australia, New Zealand, and Mexico. Texas gets three dates on the North American leg — The Woodlands on June 27, Austin on June 28, and Irving on June 30. Consequently, the Austin show sits at the heart of one of the most anticipated comebacks in pop music in years.
Houston-born Hilary Duff rose to prominence in the early 2000s through her hit Disney Channel show Lizzie McGuire and launched her music career in 2002. Her debut album Metamorphosis arrived in 2003 and catapulted her to the top of the US charts, spawning hits like “So Yesterday” and “Come Clean.” Her self-titled follow-up came a year later. Then came Dignity in 2007, featuring “With Love” — the record that proved she could evolve beyond her Disney roots and command a pop identity entirely her own. Every album she released, including her 2015 work Breathe In. Breathe Out., debuted and peaked in the top five of the Billboard 200 charts.
Eleven Years Later, She Came Back with Her Best Work Yet
After years away from the studio — during which she starred in Younger and How I Met Your Father — Duff signed with Atlantic Records in September 2025 and released her sixth studio album, luck… or something, on February 20, 2026. She co-wrote the record with her husband and collaborator Matthew Koma. Additionally, she notably pulled the plug on the Disney+ reboot of Lizzie McGuire because the network refused to let her character actually grow up — and luck… or something makes crystal clear that growing up was exactly what she intended to do.
The result feels both daring and true to her convictions — with bold, honest swings on tracks like “Roommates,” “Adult Size Medium,” and “You, from the Honeymoon.” The album tracks the years that have passed since her teenage stardom — bringing existential questions, haunting what-ifs, self-deprecating reflection, and a healthy dose of cringe and nostalgia. Moreover, critics described it as a “lyric-heavy record, wrapped up in glittery synths and catchy melodies” — noting it’s packed with stories “as if it were a country record.”
Lead single “Mature” — an autobiographical look at an age-gap relationship — introduces the crisp, sophisticated pop sound that defines the record and nods toward personal reflections on love, loss, insecurity, and hope. Meanwhile, “You, from the Honeymoon” stands as one of the album’s highlights — a lilting, romantic-melancholic song that takes full advantage of Duff’s light, distinctive voice. Together, these songs make a live show feel like something more than a concert. They make it feel like a conversation between an artist and an audience that never really lost each other.
Lucky on the Road
The Lucky Me Tour spans 28 cities across North America before extending to Ireland, the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and Mexico — running all the way through February 2027. Therefore, Austin on June 28 doesn’t just represent a tour stop. It represents one of the first and best chances in the country to see Hilary Duff back where she belongs — on a stage, under the summer sky, doing what she’s always done better than almost anyone: making an entire crowd feel exactly like themselves.
VIP upgrade packages are available. Lawn chair rentals are also on offer for the evening. Plan accordingly, arrive early, and bring everyone who ever sang “Come Clean” in the rain.

New Braunfels: Hayes Carll at Gruene Hall
2026-06-12 20:00 - 23:00 | Gruene Hall, 1281 Gruene Rd., New Braunfels, TX, 78130
Hayes Carll opens a two-night run at Gruene Hall on Friday, June 12, 2026. Showtime is 8 PM at Texas’s oldest operating dance hall. Tickets start from $48 on StubHub.
Carll grew up in The Woodlands, north of Houston, and spent his early years busking the bars of Crystal Beach on the Bolivar Peninsula. He sharpened his craft at Galveston’s Old Quarter Acoustic Café — the same storied room that helped shape Townes Van Zandt — absorbing the Texas folk and country sounds that still run through everything he writes.
His 2008 Lost Highway release Trouble in Mind put him on the national map. “She Left Me for Jesus” won Americana Music Association Song of the Year, and he followed it with KMAG YOYO & Other American Stories (2011). In 2016, he earned a Grammy nomination for Best Country Song for “Chances Are,” later covered by Lee Ann Womack.

Recent albums What It Is (2019) and You Get It All (2021) on Dualtone Records keep his catalog growing. In 2024, he teamed with Band of Heathens to form Hayes & The Heathens. His songs have been recorded by Kenny Chesney, Brothers Osborne, and dozens more.

New Braunfels: Braxton Keith at Whitewater Amphitheater
2026-06-13 19:30 | Whitewater Amphitheater, 11860 FM 306, New Braunfels, TX, 78132, United States
Texas has a long history of producing country music’s next big thing. Right now, that next big thing goes by the name Braxton Keith. On Saturday, June 13, 2026, he takes the stage at Whitewater Amphitheater in New Braunfels, Texas at 8 PM. Joining him are openers Mae Estes and Chandler Pearson — two rising artists making serious noise of their own. This show already sold out at the box office, so StubHub stands as your only path to the riverbank.
Braxton Keith hails from Midland, and his music proudly reflects that fact. He didn’t grow up in a musical family. A college roommate at Angelo State University heard Keith singing through a dorm room door and pushed him to perform publicly. He took that chance and never looked back. Keith spent years honing his craft in West Texas bars and dance halls. Then, in 2024, everything shifted.
🎟️ Get your Braxton Keith New Braunfels tickets now
His single “Cozy” caught fire on social media and launched his career into a whole new orbit. By the end of 2024, he signed with Warner Music Nashville, which released his EP Blue. Furthermore, his debut album Real Damn Deal arrived in 2026, led by the viral breakout “I Own This Bar.”
A Debut Album Built for Texas Dance Floors
Real Damn Deal showcases every classic country sound under the neon — from Texas honky-tonk to Western swing — all delivered with his crisp, high-and-lonesome twang. The fiddle and pedal steel guitar aren’t just part of the production — they’re members of the band. Consequently, when you hear a Braxton Keith song, you never wonder whether it’s country. You already know.
The critics noticed immediately. Rolling Stone included him in their list of “Country Albums We’re Excited to Hear in 2026.” Amazon Music named him a “2026 Artist to Watch.” His breakout single “Cozy” earned RIAA Gold certification. Additionally, Keith logged over 130 shows in 2025, supporting Cody Johnson, Gavin Adcock, and Luke Bryan while extending his own headlining tour. He also made his Grand Ole Opry debut and performed at Stagecoach Festival earlier this spring.
Keith spent the post-pandemic years finding his sound in Lone Star State bars and dance halls before catching fire nationally. Therefore, a show at Whitewater Amphitheater — on the banks of the Guadalupe River under a Texas summer sky — feels like exactly the right setting. Whitewater holds 5,600 fans on the banks of the Guadalupe River, below the canyon bluffs, in the heart of the Texas Hill Country. It’s one of the most beautiful outdoor stages in the nation. Combine that with a debut-album artist at full momentum, and you get the kind of Saturday night people talk about all summer long.
Doors open at 6:30 PM, so arrive early to grab your spot, get a cold drink, and settle in before the openers kick things off. Parking runs $20 (credit card only). A clear bag policy applies.

New Braunfels: Hayes Carll at Gruene Hall
2026-06-13 20:00 - 23:00 | Gruene Hall, 1281 Gruene Rd., New Braunfels, TX, 78130
Hayes Carll returns to one of Texas’s most iconic stages on Saturday, June 13, 2026. He takes the floor at Gruene Hall in New Braunfels at 8 PM — a perfect pairing of one of the Lone Star State’s finest singer-songwriters with its oldest operating dance hall. Tickets are available on StubHub from $33.
Carll grew up in The Woodlands, north of Houston, and spent his early years busking the bars of Crystal Beach on the Bolivar Peninsula. He sharpened his craft at Galveston’s Old Quarter Acoustic Café — the same storied room that helped launch Townes Van Zandt — absorbing the Texas folk and country sounds that still run through everything he writes.
His 2008 Lost Highway release Trouble in Mind put him on the national map. The standout track “She Left Me for Jesus” won Americana Music Association Song of the Year and landed Carll on Letterman. He followed it with KMAG YOYO & Other American Stories (2011), which Spin ranked among the best country-Americana records of the year. In 2016, he earned a Grammy nomination for Best Country Song for “Chances Are,” later covered by Lee Ann Womack.
Buy Tickets
His catalog keeps growing. What It Is (2019) and You Get It All (2021), both on Dualtone Records, reinforced his standing as one of Texas’s most honest and durable voices. Artists from Kenny Chesney to Brothers Osborne have recorded his songs. In 2024, he teamed with Band of Heathens to form Hayes & The Heathens, releasing a self-titled record that brought full-band swagger to his familiar gift for plain-spoken storytelling.
If you haven’t caught Hayes Carll live, Gruene Hall is exactly where you want to do it for the first time — or the tenth. Grab your tickets on StubHub and spend a Saturday night the way Texas intended.

New Braunfels: Mack Geiger at Gruene Hall
2026-06-14 21:00 - 2026-06-15 00:00 | Gruene Hall, 1281 Gruene Rd., New Braunfels, TX, 78130
Mack Geiger brings his neo-traditional country sound to Gruene Hall on Sunday, June 14, 2026. Showtime is 9 PM. Tickets start from $69 on StubHub.
Born and raised on cattle stations in Central Queensland, Australia, Mack Geiger grew up immersed in the country life that fills his songs. His influences were rooted in 1990s country — the real stuff — and that reverence for traditional sound drives everything he writes.
In 2024, he won both the Brisbane Ekka Country Music Showdown and the Maleny Country Stars competition. His debut single “About Time” charted in Australia, and the follow-up “String By” hit #3 on Spotify’s Viral 50 USA and #30 on the Global Country Shazam chart — introducing him to American audiences well before his Nashville arrival.
Buy Tickets
He has since signed with Columbia Records and RECORDS Nashville. There’s something about a Queensland kid who sounds born in a Texas honky-tonk that just works on this dance floor.
Catch Mack Geiger early — this is the kind of show you’ll want to say you saw. Grab your tickets on StubHub before he outgrows the room.

New Braunfels: Radney Foster at Gruene Hall
2026-06-20 21:00 - 2026-06-21 00:00 | Gruene Hall, 1281 Gruene Rd., New Braunfels, TX, 78130
Radney Foster returns to Gruene Hall on Saturday, June 20, 2026. Showtime is 9 PM. Tickets start from $35 on StubHub.
Foster was born in Del Rio, Texas — a border town where pop radio, traditional Mexican music, and the outlaw country blasting from border station XERF all swirled together. He grew up absorbing all of it. By age 12 he was playing guitar; by 14, writing songs. After a stint at Sewanee University, a veteran songwriter advised him to move to Nashville, and he did.
His duo Foster & Lloyd made history when “Crazy Over You” became the first debut single by a duo to top the country charts. His 1992 solo album Del Rio, TX 1959 produced two consecutive top ten hits — “Just Call Me Lonesome” and “Nobody Wins.” He has since written eight number one singles, had his songs cut by Keith Urban, The Chicks, Brooks & Dunn, and Kacey Musgraves, and sold over 50 million records worldwide. He was recently inducted into the Texas Heritage Songwriters’ Hall of Fame.

His songs have always been the best kind of Texas country — rooted in real places and real feeling. A Gruene Hall set from Radney Foster is one of the great pleasures of the Texas music calendar.

The Woodlands: Hilary Duff at Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion
2026-06-27 19:00 | The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion, 2005 Lake Robbins Drive, The Woodlands, TX, 77380, United States
On Saturday, June 27, 2026, Hilary Duff brings The Lucky Me Tour to The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion in The Woodlands.

Miss it here and you’ll be driving to Austin on Sunday or Irving on Tuesday.
🎟️ Get your Hilary Duff The Woodlands tickets now
The Lucky Me Tour is Houston-born Hilary Duff’s first major tour since the Dignity Tour in 2007–2008 — nearly 20 years off the road. She initially returned to performing in a series of small venues that sold out in minutes before the tour expanded to arenas across North America, Europe, the UK, Australia, New Zealand, and Mexico. Additionally, the tour hits doubleheaders at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, Madison Square Garden in New York City, and Toronto’s RBC Amphitheatre — proof that Hilary Duff in 2026 isn’t a nostalgia act. She’s a full-scale arena headliner all over again.
The Career That Never Really Stopped — And the Album That Proves It
Hilary Duff rose to prominence in the early 2000s through her hit Disney Channel show Lizzie McGuire and launched her music career in 2002. Her 2003 debut album Metamorphosis catapulted her to the top of the US charts. It featured hits like “So Yesterday” and “Come Clean,” and a self-titled follow-up arrived just a year later.
Dignity was released in 2007. The record that proved she could step beyond Disney entirely and command a pop identity of her own, fueled by the hit “With Love.” Every album she released, including her 2015 work Breathe In. Breathe Out., debuted and peaked in the top five of the Billboard 200 charts.
Then she stepped away from music. She starred in Younger and How I Met Your Father. She became a mother of four. She pulled the plug on a planned Disney+ reboot of Lizzie McGuire because the network refused to let her character grow up. That decision signals exactly who Hilary Duff is in 2026. She wasn’t interested in going backward. Consequently, when she finally came back to music, she came back on her own terms.
In September 2025, Duff signed with Atlantic Records and released her sixth studio album, luck… or something, on February 20, 2026 — her first new record in 11 years. Co-written with her husband and collaborator Matthew Koma, the album takes bold swings on tracks like “Roommates,” “Adult Size Medium,” and “You, from the Honeymoon.” Moreover, critics described it as a lyric-heavy record “wrapped up in glittery synths and catchy melodies” — packed with stories “as if it were a country record” — high praise that ought to land well in Texas.
Lead single “Mature” — an autobiographical look at an age-gap relationship — introduces the crisp, sophisticated pop sound that defines the record. There are nods toward personal reflections on love, loss, insecurity, and hope. Additionally, “You, from the Honeymoon” stands out as one of the album’s highlights. It’s a lilting, romantic-melancholic song that takes full advantage of Duff’s light, distinctive voice. Together these songs make The Lucky Me Tour feel like something rare — an artist returning not to relive old glory, but to show everyone exactly who she’s become.
Lucky on the Road
The 28-city North American leg runs from June through mid-August before extending to Ireland, the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and Mexico — carrying the tour all the way to February 2027. Therefore, The Woodlands on June 27 isn’t just a tour stop. It’s the Houston area’s one and only shot at the biggest pop comeback of the summer.
The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion holds approximately 16,500 fans total — around 6,500 in reserved covered pavilion seating and roughly 10,000 on the general-admission lawn — and consistently ranks among the top-grossing outdoor amphitheatres in North America.
Note the venue’s strict bag policy: all bags and purses (unless clear) must be smaller than 4.5″ x 6.5″, and clear bags must be smaller than 12″ x 12″. Lawn chair rentals and garage parking upgrades are available through Live Nation. Plan ahead, arrive early, and prepare for a Saturday night in The Woodlands that feels long overdue.

New Braunfels: Cooder Graw at Gruene Hall
2026-06-27 21:00 - 23:00 | Gruene Hall, 1281 Gruene Rd., New Braunfels, TX, 78130
Gruene Hall welcomes Cooder Graw for a Saturday night of Texas country on June 27, 2026. Tickets start at $23, making this one of the summer’s most accessible shows on the Hill Country music calendar.
Rooted in San Antonio, Cooder Graw has spent more than two decades carving out a place in the Texas country tradition. The band built its reputation on the strength of live performance, working the honky-tonk circuit from the Alamo City to Austin and earning a loyal following among fans who prize authenticity over trend-chasing.
Over the years Cooder Graw has released a series of albums that blend traditional country arrangements with the loose, road-worn energy that defines the best of Texas music. Their songwriting draws on real-life experience — heartbreak, highway miles, and cold beer — delivered with a sincerity that resonates long after the last note fades.

The band continues to tour extensively, treating each show as a chance to connect with audiences in the settings that suit them best: dance halls, outdoor stages, and beloved Hill Country rooms like Gruene Hall. Their sets move between shuffles and slow burns, with plenty of room for the dance floor to fill up.

Irving: Hilary Duff at The Pavilion at Toyota Music Factory
2026-06-30 19:00 | The Pavilion at Toyota Music Factory, 300 West Las Colinas Boulevard, Irving, TX, 75039, United States
North Texas, your turn has arrived. On Tuesday, June 30, 2026, Hilary Duff closes out her Texas run with The Lucky Me Tour at The Pavilion at Toyota Music Factory in Irving. Showtime hits at 7 PM, with special guests La Roux and Jade LeMac opening the evening.
🎟️ Get your Hilary Duff Irving tickets now on StubHub
The Lucky Me Tour marks Hilary Duff’s first major headline tour since the Dignity Tour in 2007–2008 — nearly two decades off the road. After playing The Woodlands on June 27 and Austin on June 28, Irving closes out a three-city Texas sweep that represents the biggest pop homecoming the state has seen this summer. Additionally, following the North American run, Duff adds 19 more dates in Ireland, the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and Mexico — carrying the tour all the way to February 2027. DFW gets the last Texas show.
From Disney Darling to Billboard Chart-Topper
Hilary Duff rose to prominence in the early 2000s through her hit Disney Channel show Lizzie McGuire and launched her music career in 2002 with the Christmas album Santa Claus Lane. Her proper debut album Metamorphosis arrived in 2003 and catapulted her to the top of the US charts, spawning hits like “So Yesterday” and “Come Clean.” A self-titled follow-up arrived a year later. Then came Dignity in 2007 — the record that showcased her ability to shift genre styles with ease and proved she could command a pop identity entirely her own. Every album, including her 2015 work Breathe In. Breathe Out., debuted and peaked in the top five of the Billboard 200 charts.
Between albums, Duff built a second career as a respected actress. Now 38 and a mother of four, she spent years starring in Younger and How I Met Your Father while raising a family far from the pop music machine. She notably pulled the plug on a planned Disney+ reboot of Lizzie McGuire because the network refused to let her character actually grow up — a decision that tells you everything about the artist who returned to music in 2026.
The Album That Made Her Return Impossible to Ignore
In September 2025, Duff signed with Atlantic Records and released her sixth studio album, luck… or something, on February 20, 2026 — her first full-length record in 11 years. Co-written with her husband and collaborator Matthew Koma, the record pulls no punches. Bold tracks like “Roommates,” “Adult Size Medium,” and “You, from the Honeymoon” feel both daring and true to her convictions — songs written from a place of hard-won perspective that no 23-year-old could fake.
Critics called it “a lyric-heavy record wrapped up in glittery synths and catchy melodies” — and noted it’s packed with stories “as if it were a country record.” That line plays well in Texas. Lead single “Mature” — an autobiographical reflection on an age-gap relationship — introduces the crisp, sophisticated pop sound that defines the album and nods toward personal themes of love, loss, insecurity, and hope. Moreover, the setlist for the Lucky Me Tour will likely anchor around fan favorites like “Wake Up,” “So Yesterday,” “Come Clean,” and “Why Not” — anthems that an entire generation of Texas fans grew up singing.
Before the full arena run launched, Duff performed a series of intimate comeback shows that sold out in minutes — proof that the audience never left. They just waited. On June 30 in Irving, that long wait ends with one final Texas night that the DFW Metroplex will be talking about all summer.
The Pavilion at Toyota Music Factory is a unique boutique, open-air pavilion offering three flexible capacities: a 2,500-person intimate theater, a 4,000-person indoor theater, and an 8,000-person amphitheater. D-Magazine calls it the “Optimus Prime of live music venues,” and located at 300 W. Las Colinas Blvd. in the upscale, master-planned Las Colinas community, it offers quick, convenient access from anywhere in the Dallas-Fort Worth area — including easy access from DFW International Airport. Furthermore, premium seats, VIP club access, and 20 different restaurants and bars surround the venue — making this a full evening out, not just a concert.
Lawn chair rentals and fast lane access upgrades are available for this show. Arrive early, explore the restaurants and bars at Toyota Music Factory, and settle in for a Tuesday night that feels anything but ordinary.

Corpus Christi: Braxton Keith at Concrete Street Amphitheater
2026-07-03 20:00 | Concrete Street Amphitheatre, 800 Concrete St, Corpus Christi, TX, 78401, United States
Braxton Keith rolls into the Coastal Bend on Friday, July 3, 2026, bringing the Real Damn Deal Tour to Concrete Street Amphitheater. Showtime kicks off at 8 PM, with doors opening at 7 PM. The venue sits at 700 Concrete Street, Corpus Christi, TX 78401 — right in the heart of downtown, just steps from the bay. This is the eve of the Fourth of July. Braxton Keith on a summer night by the Gulf Coast? That’s a Texas tradition in the making.
🎟️ Get your Braxton Keith Corpus Christi tickets now
Concrete Street Amphitheater stands as South Texas’s premier outdoor concert, live music, and event facility. The facility rests on the grounds of a 1930s concrete plant that played a vital role in constructing the Corpus Christi Sea Wall. Furthermore, the natural bowl shape of the cement yard provides an ideal acoustic form — meaning every note Braxton Keith plays will hit you right in the chest. The venue boasts two stages, a food court, and walk-up bars, and holds up to 10,000 fans across general admission, reserved seating, VIP boxes, and VIP tables. In other words, this isn’t just a venue — it’s a South Texas landmark.
Braxton Keith hails from Midland, Texas, and pairs his love of 1980s country with old-school storytelling and contemporary hooks. He didn’t arrive in country music through connections or luck. Instead, a college roommate at Angelo State heard him singing through a dorm room door and pushed him to perform publicly. Keith took that nudge seriously and spent years grinding through West Texas dance halls before everything clicked.
Why Braxton Keith Owns Every Stage He Steps On
His 2024 single “Cozy” went viral, earned RIAA Gold certification, and landed him a deal with Warner Music Nashville. After that, his career took off like a West Texas dust storm. Keith logged over 130 shows in 2025, touring alongside Cody Johnson, Gavin Adcock, and Luke Bryan. Moreover, he made his Grand Ole Opry debut and performed at Stagecoach Festival — milestones that show just how quickly this Midland kid moved from dive bars to marquee stages.
His debut album delivers exactly what the name promises. Real Damn Deal showcases every classic country sound under the neon — Texas honky-tonk, Western swing, heartbreak ballads — all driven by his crisp, high-and-lonesome twang. Additionally, the fiddle and pedal steel guitar don’t just flavor the production — they anchor every track on the record. Consequently, when you listen to Braxton Keith, you never have to wonder whether it’s real country music. You already know.
His live shows emphasize two-step-ready grooves, sing-along hooks, and heartfelt ballads that spotlight working-class themes, long roads, and late nights. That’s exactly the kind of music Corpus Christi was built for. The Gulf breeze, the night sky over downtown, the salt air mixing with the sound of pedal steel — this July 3 show has all the ingredients for one of the summer’s best nights on the Texas coast.
Ticket prices run from $37.95 to $503.50, covering every level from general admission to full VIP experience. Free parking is available in several areas near the venue — look for signage and parking attendants as you approach. No cameras or recording devices are allowed inside.

Austin: Outlaw Music Festival with Willie Nelson at Germania Insurance Amphitheater
2026-07-04 15:30 - 23:00 | Germania Insurance Amphitheater, 9201 Circuit of the Americas Boulevard, Austin, TX, 78617, United States
Willie Nelson headlines the Outlaw Music Festival at Austin’s Germania Insurance Amphitheater on July 4, 2026, turning Independence Day into the ultimate Texas music celebration. Joining Nelson on the bill are Billy Strings, Wilco, and more — but this is Willie’s show through and through.
Born in Abbott, Texas in 1933, Willie Nelson is without question one of the most beloved figures in American music history. From his early days as a struggling Nashville songwriter to his emergence as a pioneer of the outlaw country movement in the 1970s, Nelson has always blazed his own trail — and he’s never stopped. Now in his nineties, he remains one of the most active performers in all of music, a living testament to the enduring power of Texas-bred creativity.
His catalog is staggering in its depth and breadth: “On the Road Again,” “Whiskey River,” “Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain,” “Always on My Mind,” “Pancho and Lefty” — the list goes on and on. Nelson’s singular voice, his beloved nylon-string guitar Trigger, and his timeless songs have made him an icon not just in country music, but in American culture writ large. Few artists alive have earned the title of living legend more fully.

The Outlaw Music Festival is a celebration of the spirit Nelson helped create — a touring festival built around authentic American music, free from commercial constraints. Past editions have drawn some of the most respected names in Americana and roots music, and the 2026 Austin show promises to be a true highlight of the concert season. Germania Insurance Amphitheater is a spectacular outdoor setting for an Independence Day festival, with the Texas summer sky as a backdrop.

Fredericksburg: Robert Earl Keen at Luckenbach
2026-07-04 19:00 | Luckenbach Texas Outdoor Stage, 412 Luckenbach Town Loop,, Fredericksburg, TX, United States
Asleep at the Wheel & Bob Wills’ Texas Playboys join the Fourth of July Celebration
If you’ve ever wanted to spend the Fourth of July the way Texas intended, this is it. On Saturday, July 4, 2026, the outdoor stage at Luckenbach Texas will be the site of one of the most authentically Texan Independence Day concerts imaginable. Three of the Lone Star State’s most storied musical acts will share the stage: Robert Earl Keen, Asleep at the Wheel, and Bob Wills’ Texas Playboys. Showtime is 7 PM, and with a capacity of 9,000, this is the kind of night where the whole Hill Country comes together to celebrate America — Texas style.
🎟️ Get your Robert Earl Keen Fourth of July Celebration tickets
Luckenbach Texas blends small-town charm with legendary music history. The historic dance hall and outdoor stage host country, Americana, and Red Dirt acts all year long, giving fans an easygoing Hill Country setting to two-step, sing along, and make new memories. Waylon Jennings put it on the map with “Luckenbach, Texas,” Willie Nelson has thrown picnics here, and Jerry Jeff Walker captured the laid-back spirit on Viva Terlingua recorded right there in the dance hall. It is, without argument, one of the most spiritually significant pieces of real estate in Texas music — and on the Fourth of July, there is nowhere else on earth quite like it.
Headlining the evening is Robert Earl Keen, the beloved Texas songwriter who has spent four decades writing and performing songs that feel like pages torn straight from the heart of the Lone Star State. From the rowdy sing-alongs to the heartbreaking ballads, Keen’s music is the soundtrack of countless Texas lives. He is set to return to Luckenbach for this Fourth of July Celebration — and for fans who know his deep connection to this place and this state, that’s about as good as it gets.
Sharing the stage is the incomparable Asleep at the Wheel, the Austin-based western swing institution led by the towering Ray Benson that has been keeping Bob Wills’ legacy alive and electrified for more than five decades. The band has spent decades bringing together all-star lineups to honor the tradition of western swing, collaborating with the likes of George Strait, Willie Nelson, and Robert Earl Keen himself — and their live show is a flat-out joyful, fiddle-and-steel-guitar explosion that’ll have every soul on the grounds dancing before the second song is done.
Rounding out this once-in-a-summer lineup are Bob Wills’ Texas Playboys — the living, breathing continuation of the band that the King of Western Swing himself built. Hearing the Texas Playboys perform on a warm July night in the Texas Hill Country isn’t just a concert; it’s a direct line back through the history of Texas music itself.
Most events at Luckenbach are general admission, so arriving early is the smart play — claim your spot near the stage or settle in at a picnic table under the ancient oak trees. Bring your lawn chairs, your boots, your dancing shoes, and your love of country. The Hill Country breeze, the smell of cedar and wildflowers, the fireworks of a Texas Fourth of July, and three legends on one outdoor stage — this is an evening that will live in the memory long after the last note fades into the night sky.
Luckenbach’s motto has always been “Everybody’s Somebody,” and on the Fourth of July 2026, everybody who makes it out to Fredericksburg is going to feel like the luckiest somebody in Texas.

The Woodlands: Outlaw Music Festival with Willie Nelson at The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion
2026-07-05 14:00 - 18:00 | The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion, 2005 Lake Robbins Drive, The Woodlands, TX, 77380, United States
The Outlaw Music Festival has always been Willie Nelson’s show. No corporate polish, no compromise — just Texas music the way it was built to travel. On July 5, 2026, the Outlaw Music Festival The Woodlands stop lands at Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion. Willie Nelson headlines alongside a hand-picked bill of fellow travelers.
Nelson has been at this since before outlaw country had a name. The Abbott, Texas native wrote “Crazy” in 1961. Nashville said it was unrecordable. Patsy Cline proved them wrong. He moved back to Texas when the industry got comfortable. He settled in Austin and built something that was really just country music played honestly. He is still touring at 92. He remains the most Texas thing in American music.
Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion sits among the tall pines of The Woodlands, north of Houston. It is a proper outdoor room for a man who has always preferred the road to the studio. The Outlaw Music Festival at Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion is one of the best shows on the Texas summer calendar. Also at Cynthia Woods this summer: Flatland Cavalry on July 18th. Tickets for the Outlaw Music Festival in The Woodlands start from $39 on StubHub.

New Braunfels: Randy Rogers Band at Whitewater Amphitheater
2026-07-11 19:30 | Whitewater Amphitheater, 11860 FM 306, New Braunfels, TX, 78132, United States
The Randy Rogers Band, with special guests Pat Green and Slade Coulter, will take the stage at Whitewater Amphitheater in New Braunfels. The show is already sold out at the box office — because when Texas music royalty comes to the Hill Country, fans don’t wait around.
🎟️ Get your Randy Rogers Band New Braunfels tickets now
Whitewater Amphitheater is nestled on the banks of the Guadalupe River, below the canyon bluffs, and right in the heart of the Texas Hill Country. It’s not simply another live music venue, but a true destination. Whitewater is a one-of-a-kind outdoor music experience, a summer tradition, and a bucket-list play for Texans and visitors alike. There is no stage in the state that sets the scene quite like this one, and no lineup this summer more deserving of it.
The Randy Rogers Band was founded in San Marcos, and has spent more than 20 years bringing the Texas country tradition to dedicated fans around the nation and beyond. The band has eight studio albums, global streaming numbers in the hundreds of millions, and a reputation for must-see country-rock performances. RRB has charted seven singles on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart, two Top 10 hits at national country radio, and numerous Texas Country Radio chart number ones — securing its place in the pantheon of Texas musical giants. Fronted by San Marcos native Randy Rogers himself, this six-piece brotherhood is the kind of band that turns a concert into a communion where the crowd sings every word right back at the stage.
Few relationships in the music business are more complicated than those among band members. The Randy Rogers Band is a unique brotherhood fueled by a shared passion for making great music and a strong commitment to each other — a bond that forms the foundation of everything they do. Apple Music calls them “grassroots heroes who mix rock ‘n’ roll with roadhouse country,” and after more than two decades of road-worn, heart-on-sleeve shows, that description still fits like a well-worn pair of boots.
And the supporting lineup? Pure Texas gold. Pat Green is a Texas music legend with a career spanning over two decades, albums like Three Days and the gold-certified Wave on Wave capturing the essence of Texas life and propelling him to national acclaim. He has sold over two million albums, earned three Grammy nominations, and racked up 13 number ones on Texas Radio — with beloved tracks like “Wave on Wave” (which reached number three on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart) still hitting as hard today as the day they came out. Having Pat Green on the same bill as Randy Rogers Band isn’t just a bonus — it’s a full-on Texas music celebration.
Rounding out the evening is rising Texas artist Slade Coulter, who brings fresh Hill Country energy to open the night before two of the genre’s most beloved acts take over.
A note for anyone still on the fence: this show is sold out at the box office, which means StubHub is the place to secure your spot. Clear bag policy is in effect, and parking is $20 (credit card only), so plan accordingly and get there early to soak in the Hill Country atmosphere before the music starts.

New Braunfels: Them Dirty Roses at Gruene Hall
2026-07-11 21:00 - 23:00 | Gruene Hall, 1281 Gruene Rd., New Braunfels, TX, 78130
Them Dirty Roses bring their high-energy country rock to Gruene Hall on July 11, 2026. Tickets start at $47 — a fair price for one of the more electrifying live acts working the Texas music circuit today.
Based in Texas, Them Dirty Roses combine the swagger of classic rock with the storytelling tradition of country music. Since forming, the band has developed a reputation for live shows that run long and loud, with twin guitars carrying much of the energy.
Their recordings capture the raw spirit of the band at its best — songs about hard living, burning love, and life on the road, delivered with a grit that sits somewhere between the Rolling Stones and Waylon Jennings. It’s music built for dance halls, and Gruene Hall is exactly the kind of room where it comes alive.

Them Dirty Roses have been relentless road warriors, building their fan base one sweaty show at a time across Texas and beyond. The band’s growing catalog continues to win over listeners who want their country music to carry some real danger in it.

New Braunfels: Billy Bob Thornton & The Boxmasters at Gruene Hall
2026-07-16 19:00 - 21:00 | Gruene Hall, 1281 Gruene Rd., New Braunfels, TX, 78130
Academy Award winner and music devotee Billy Bob Thornton brings The Boxmasters to Gruene Hall on July 16, 2026. With tickets starting at $104, this is a rare chance to see one of entertainment’s most multifaceted performers in an intimate Hill Country setting.
Billy Bob Thornton may be best known for films like Sling Blade and Bad Santa, but his passion for music runs just as deep as his love of storytelling on screen. He formed The Boxmasters in the mid-2000s as an outlet for his lifelong devotion to 1960s rock and country sounds — British Invasion melodies filtered through an unmistakably Southern sensibility.
The Boxmasters have released a string of albums that showcase Thornton’s encyclopedic knowledge of vintage pop and country. Drawing on the Everly Brothers, Merle Haggard, and early Beatles with equal confidence, they craft original material that sounds both familiar and fresh. Live, the band delivers a tight, energetic set that leaves no doubt about the seriousness of the project.
Buy Tickets
Thornton brings genuine passion to every Boxmasters performance, and intimate venues like Gruene Hall showcase that intensity in a way larger arenas simply cannot match. He and the band have toured consistently, maintaining a working musician’s commitment to the live experience rather than coasting on celebrity.
This is one summer show you won’t want to miss. Billy Bob Thornton & The Boxmasters at Gruene Hall on July 16 — secure your tickets on StubHub while they last.

Edinberg: Grupo Frontera at Bert Ogden Arena
2026-07-16 20:00 - 2026-07-17 00:00 | Bert Ogden Arena, 4900 S I-69 C, Edinburg, 78539, United States
It doesn’t get more Texas than this. Grupo Frontera kicks off the U.S. leg of their Triste Pero Bien C*brón Tour right where it all began — their hometown of Edinburg. The show is at Bert Ogden Arena on Thursday, July 16, 2026, with showtime at 8 PM. The Rio Grande Valley is ready to receive them like the arena-filling heroes they’ve become.
Grupo Frontera has won three Latin Grammys, earned two 2026 Grammy nominations, and boasts more than 38 million monthly listeners on Spotify.
Before they conquer arenas coast to coast, they come home to the Valley first, giving Edinburg fans the most electric Thursday night the 956 has seen in years. Bert Ogden Arena also will host a second night on July 17, so if July 16 sells out, grab Night 2 before that goes as well.
🎟️ Get your Grupo Frontera Dallas tickets now Thurs. July 16 | Fri. July 17
The tour supports their third studio album, Lo Que Me Falta Por Llorar, and takes its name from their collaboration with Myke Towers.
Groomed in The Rio Grande Valley
Grupo Frontera formed in the Rio Grande Valley — specifically around Edinburg and McAllen — and comprises lead vocalist Adelaido “Payo” Solís III, accordionist Juan Javier Cantú, and four other members deeply rooted in the Mexican-American communities of South Texas. Early on, they played weddings and quinceañeras just to keep the lights on. Their breakthrough arrived in 2022 when a TikTok cover of Morat’s “No Se Va” racked up millions of views and led to a deal with Universal Music Latino. From there, the rise was relentless.
“Bebé Dame,” their collaboration with Fuerza Regida, shot to the top of the Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart in December 2022 and reached number 25 on the Billboard Hot 100. Then came the moment that changed everything. Their 2023 Bad Bunny collaboration “Un x100to” debuted at number five on the Billboard Hot 100 — the highest-charting regional Mexican track at the time — and topped charts in both Mexico and the U.S. Furthermore, their debut album El Comienzo, produced by Grammy-winning producer Édgar Barrera, reached number two on the Regional Mexican Albums chart and number four on the Top Latin Albums chart. An accompanying tour included a guest appearance during Bad Bunny’s set at Coachella and a performance at Mexico City’s iconic Zócalo square for Independence Day.
The Texas Legislature formally recognized the band’s achievements, noting their nominations in 15 categories at the 2023 Billboard Latin Music Awards — including Artist of the Year — and their win for Hot Latin Songs Artist of the Year. Additionally, Grupo Frontera earned two Grammy nominations for the 2026 ceremony — their first Grammy nods — competing for best Música Mexicana album for their EP with Fuerza Regida, Mala Mía, and their solo EP Y Lo Que Viene. Vocalist Payo summed it up plainly: “It’s something you would never think, that someone who plays our style of music would be nominated.”
Critical Acclaim
The GRAMMY organization described their second album, Jugando a Que No Pasa Nada, as featuring “bright accordion lines and a high-energy blend of urbano party anthems, cumbia-inspired ballads, and forays into pop — a masterful display of the group’s mixed cultural background.” That same electric energy defines their live show. Consequently, a Grupo Frontera concert isn’t just a concert — it’s a full-on celebration of Texas border culture brought to an arena stage.

Bert Ogden Arena opened in August 2018 in Edinburg, Texas, and stands as the largest indoor entertainment facility in South Texas, with a capacity that expands up to 9,324 for concerts and major events. The 219,000-square-foot arena serves as home to the Rio Grande Valley Vipers — the NBA G League affiliate of the Houston Rockets — and hosts a year-round lineup of concerts, sporting events, and family shows at the heart of the Rio Grande Valley.

New Braunfels: Flatland Cavalry at Whitewater Amphitheater
2026-07-17 20:00 | Whitewater Amphitheater, 11860 FM 306, New Braunfels, TX, 78132, United States
There is a reason Texans call Whitewater Amphitheater the Red Rocks of Texas. Nestled on the banks of the Guadalupe River, below the canyon bluffs, and right in the heart of the Texas Hill Country, Whitewater Amphitheater is not simply another live music venue — it is a destination. A one-of-a-kind outdoor music experience for a diverse crowd of both Texans and tourists. A summer tradition. A bucket-list play. And on Friday, July 17, 2026, that destination gets one of the most exciting acts in Texas country music when Flatland Cavalry brings their Work of Heart Tour to the riverbank at 8 PM, with openers Bottomland and Telander warming up the crowd.
🎟️ Get your Flatland Cavalry New Braunfels tickets now on StubHub
Fair warning: this show is already sold out at the box office — which tells you everything you need to know about where Flatland Cavalry stands right now in the Texas music landscape.
Born and built in Lubbock, Texas, Flatland Cavalry has spent a decade becoming one of the most beloved bands to ever come off the High Plains. Whether hot-trotting in a 12-passenger van in the early days, caravanning on colossal treks with Willie Nelson, Luke Combs, and Lainey Wilson, or headlining their own months-long tours with a Who’s Who of historic venue sellouts along the way, Flatland Cavalry remains “at the fore of the red dirt renaissance,” according to Rolling Stone.
The band is out on the road behind their brand-new fifth studio album, Work of Heart. The 12-track album is a collection of songs written while touring and taking their music on the road — things experienced, emotions felt, and real life lived. Frontman Cleto Cordero noticed the word “heart” appeared often when this batch of songs came together, and the result is Flatland’s most personal record yet. The past couple of years have been full of milestones for the band — their first ACM Award nomination for Group of the Year, their first RIAA Gold certification for breakout single “A Life Where We Work Out,” and featured placements on Taylor Sheridan’s hit shows Yellowstone and Landman.
With four albums, six number-one singles on the Texas Country Music Charts, and over 500 million streams to their name, Flatland Cavalry has put in the work and earned every seat in every sold-out venue they’ve played. Hearing them perform those songs live — on a warm July night with the Guadalupe River rolling behind the stage, canyon bluffs framing the sky, and cypress trees swaying in the Hill Country breeze — is an experience that reminds you why Texas music is unlike anything else on the planet.
With a capacity of 5,600, Whitewater Amphitheater hosts some of the hottest and legendary names in music in one of the most beautifully unique and intimate settings in the country — on the river and under the stars. Seating options include general admission, preferred sections, and VIP Sky Boxes with private bars and premium sightlines. Doors open at 7:00 PM, so plan to arrive early — parking fills fast for a sold-out show of this caliber, and you’ll want time to get situated before Bottomland and Telander kick things off.

New Braunfels: Gary P. Nunn at Gruene Hall
2026-07-17 20:00 - 22:00 | Gruene Hall, 1281 Gruene Rd., New Braunfels, TX, 78130
Gruene Hall welcomes Texas music legend Gary P. Nunn on July 17, 2026. Tickets start at $42 — an evening with one of the defining figures of the Lone Star State’s rich musical heritage.
Few artists can claim a connection to the Texas music story as deep as Gary P. Nunn’s. A founding member of Michael Martin Murphey’s band and later the Lost Gonzo Band, Nunn became part of the inner circle of the progressive country movement that flourished in Austin during the 1970s, sharing stages with Willie Nelson, Jerry Jeff Walker, and the vanguard of the cosmic cowboy era.
His song “London Homesick Blues” — with its immortal refrain about wanting to go home with the armadillo — became the unofficial anthem of Austin’s outlaw country scene and served as the theme for the iconic Austin City Limits television program during its landmark early years. Nunn has released numerous solo albums over the decades, but it is his live performances that have always showcased the depth of his catalog and the warmth of his storytelling.
Buy Tickets
Now well into his fifth decade as a performing artist, Gary P. Nunn shows no signs of slowing down. He continues to play the Texas dance hall circuit with the same commitment to his music and his audience that has defined his career from the beginning. A Gruene Hall show is the perfect setting for an artist whose work is rooted in exactly this kind of beloved Texas institution.
Don’t miss Gary P. Nunn at Gruene Hall on July 17 — grab your tickets on StubHub and spend a summer night with a genuine Texas music legend.

The Woodlands: Flatland Cavalry at Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion
2026-07-18 19:30 - 22:30 | The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion, 2005 Lake Robbins Drive, The Woodlands, TX, 77380, United States
West Texas country doesn’t get much better than Flatland Cavalry, and on July 18, 2026, the Lubbock-born band brings that sound to Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion in The Woodlands. The Flatland Cavalry Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion show is a chance to see one of the most honest bands in Texas music playing one of the finest outdoor stages in the state.
Flatland Cavalry formed at Texas Tech University in Lubbock and built their following the old-fashioned way — playing dance halls and honky-tonks from the Panhandle to the Hill Country. Their 2021 album Welcome to Countryland showed a band expanding beyond their West Texas roots without losing what made them worth hearing. Lead singer Cleto Cordero writes about real places and real feelings. That specificity is rare, and it shows.
Cynthia Woods is the right room for this kind of music — open air, tall pines, an amphitheater that rewards bands who can hold a big stage with an honest sound. If you’re making a summer of Texas music, Willie Nelson and the Outlaw Music Festival play Cynthia Woods on July 5th. Tickets for Flatland Cavalry at Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion start from $25 on StubHub.

Laredo: Grupo Frontera at Sames Auto Arena
2026-07-18 20:00 | Sames Auto Arena, 6700 Arena Blvd., Laredo, TX, 78041, United States
Laredo, the Gateway City, sits at the crossroads of two countries, two cultures, and two languages. Nobody understands that border identity better than Grupo Frontera. On Saturday, July 18, 2026, the Rio Grande Valley’s most celebrated band brings the Triste Pero Bien C*brón Tour to Sames Auto Arena, with showtime at 8 PM. This is more than a concert. It’s a South Texas celebration on the banks of the Rio Grande.
🎟️ Get your Grupo Frontera Laredo tickets now
The Triste Pero Bien C*brón Tour takes its name from the band’s collaboration with Puerto Rican star Myke Towers and supports their third studio album, Lo Que Me Falta Por Llorar — a record built for big rooms, big speakers, and big Saturday nights.
Building a Hit Machine
Grupo Frontera formed in the Rio Grande Valley — the same South Texas borderland that gives Laredo its soul. The band quickly rose from playing weddings and quinceañeras to headlining arenas coast to coast. Their music reflects exactly the world Laredo lives in every day.
The six-piece band built their sound around a high-energy blend of norteño, cumbia, and regional Mexican styles. They fuse traditional border sounds with contemporary production — música that crosses every line on the map and sounds like it belongs right here on the Texas-Mexico border.
Their breakthrough arrived in 2022 when a TikTok cover of Morat’s “No Se Va” racked up millions of views and led to a deal with Universal Music Latino. Then came hit after hit. “Bebé Dame” with Fuerza Regida shot to number one on the Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart and reached number 25 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Grupo Frontera’s Bad Bunny collaboration “Un x100to” debuted at number five on the Billboard Hot 100 — the highest-charting regional Mexican track at the time — and topped charts across the U.S. and Mexico. Consequently, their debut album El Comienzo, produced by Grammy-winning producer Édgar Barrera, reached number two on the Regional Mexican Albums chart and number four on the Top Latin Albums chart.
The Accolades Keep Coming
The Texas Legislature formally recognized Grupo Frontera’s achievements, including their 15 nominations at the 2023 Billboard Latin Music Awards and their win for Hot Latin Songs Artist of the Year. Additionally, the band earned two Grammy nominations for the 2026 ceremony — their first — competing for best Música Mexicana album for their EP with Fuerza Regida, Mala Mía, and their solo EP Y Lo Que Viene. Pollstar reports that one of Grupo Frontera’s 2024 San Antonio shows alone grossed over $1.6 million off nearly 14,000 tickets — proof that this band fills rooms and then some.
The Laredo date falls right at the heart of a landmark Texas run. They open the tour in Edinburg on July 16, then hit Laredo on July 18, San Antonio on July 19, Austin on July 22, Houston on July 23, and Dallas on July 24. Therefore, Laredo stands as stop three of six consecutive Texas dates — the kind of hometown sweep a South Texas band earns, not inherits.
Sames Auto Arena opened in October 2002 and has established itself over two decades as the premier entertainment destination in South Texas and Northern Mexico. The 178,000-square-foot facility holds up to 10,000 fans for concerts, features 14 luxury suites, six meeting rooms, and a private club — and boasts the largest indoor convention space in South Texas. Furthermore, the economic impact on the local community exceeds $100 million annually. Past performers at Sames include Elton John, Bad Bunny, Shakira, Julio Iglesias, Ricky Martin, Santana, and ZZ Top — and on July 18, Grupo Frontera joins that company on their hometown turf. Additionally, the arena sits conveniently near the Laredo International Airport, with hotels within walking distance of the venue.
No outside items are permitted at Sames Auto Arena. Tickets at the will call window require the original credit card and a photo ID. Arrive early — this is the kind of show that fills every seat before the first note drops.

Red dirt country star Stoney LaRue brings his soulful sound to Gruene Hall on July 18, 2026. Tickets start at $37 for a night of heartfelt Texas music from one of the genre’s most gifted singer-songwriters.
Raised in the Texas panhandle, Stoney LaRue came up through the red dirt music scene that stretches from Stillwater, Oklahoma to the Texas plains — a tradition built on honest songwriting, road-hardened bands, and an unbreakable bond between musicians and the fans who follow them. He released his debut album in 2002 and quickly established himself as a distinctive voice in a genre already rich with talent.
LaRue’s sound draws on country, rock, and folk, anchored always by his expressive baritone and an ability to write songs that feel both deeply personal and universal. Tracks like “Down in Flames” and “Shame on Me” became staples on Texas country radio, and albums like The Weekly Prophet and Alright solidified his reputation as one of the red dirt scene’s essential artists.

The tour supports their third studio album, Lo Que Me Falta Por Llorar, and takes its name from their collaboration with Myke Towers. After Dallas, the run continues west through Phoenix, Las Vegas, and a packed California stretch before heading north to Portland, Seattle, Denver, Chicago, and the East Coast. Nevertheless, the Texas run stands apart. Few tours in regional Mexican music history have ever stacked Edinburg, San Antonio, Austin, Houston, and Dallas in a single week. This is a homecoming on a grand scale — and American Airlines Center’s 21,000-seat capacity gives Dallas the stage it deserves.
Groomed in The Rio Grande Valley
Grupo Frontera formed in the Rio Grande Valley — specifically around Edinburg and McAllen — and comprises lead vocalist Adelaido “Payo” Solís III, accordionist Juan Javier Cantú, and four other members deeply rooted in the Mexican-American communities of South Texas.

The Woodlands: Christopher Cross at Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion
2026-08-07 18:45 - 22:00 | The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion, 2005 Lake Robbins Drive, The Woodlands, TX, 77380, United States
Before he was sweeping the Grammys, Christopher Cross was a San Antonio kid who grew up on Texas music. On August 7, 2026, Cross returns to his home state. He headlines the Christopher Cross Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion show in The Woodlands as part of a triple bill with TOTO and The Romantics.
Cross’s 1979 self-titled debut changed the sound of American pop radio overnight. “Sailing” and “Ride Like the Wind” were immaculate and unhurried. In 1981, he swept all four major Grammy categories — Record, Song, and Album of the Year, plus Best New Artist. No one has matched that since. For a kid who learned guitar in San Antonio, that kind of staying power is something earned, not assigned.
TOTO bring their own deep credits to the night. These are the Los Angeles session musicians who wrote “Africa” and played on more hit records than anyone has properly counted. Together, Cross and TOTO at Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion make for a rare bill of genuine craftsmen. The following night at Cynthia Woods: Whiskey Myers and The Black Crowes on August 8th. Tickets from $29 on StubHub.

The Woodlands: Whiskey Myers & The Black Crowes at Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion
2026-08-08 18:30 - 22:00 | The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion, 2005 Lake Robbins Drive, The Woodlands, TX, 77380, United States
East Texas has been producing hardbitten rock and roll for a long time, and Whiskey Myers is the latest proof. On August 8, 2026, the Palestine, Texas band plays Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion in The Woodlands as direct support for The Black Crowes. Whiskey Myers at Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion should rattle the tall pines north of Houston.
Whiskey Myers formed in Palestine, Texas in 2007 and spent years grinding the circuit before their self-titled 2019 album broke them wide. That record debuted at number one on the Billboard country charts. No radio singles. No industry push. It got there on word of mouth, relentless touring, and songs that sounded lived-in from the first listen. Frontman Cody Cannon writes with a specificity that separates real Texas country from the Nashville variety.
The Black Crowes bring thirty-plus years of Southern rock credibility to the bill. They rebuilt the band from the ground up after a decade apart and sound better for it. This same tour moves to Dallas the following night — The Black Crowes and Whiskey Myers at Dos Equis Pavilion on August 9th. Tickets for Whiskey Myers at Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion start from $25 on StubHub.

Austin: TOTO, Christopher Cross, The Romantics at Germania Insurance Amphitheater

San Antonio’s own Christopher Cross joins TOTO and The Romantics for a night of classic rock and pop at Austin’s Germania Insurance Amphitheater on August 8, 2026. It’s a triple bill of enduring hits from three of the era’s most beloved acts, anchored by one of Texas’s greatest musical exports.
Christopher Cross was born in San Antonio, Texas, and burst onto the national scene with his self-titled debut album in 1980 — an album that swept the Grammy Awards, winning Album of the Year, Record of the Year, Song of the Year (“Sailing”), and Best New Artist. It remains one of the most decorated debut albums in Grammy history. Cross’s smooth, sophisticated soft rock sound captured the spirit of an era, and his voice — warm, distinctive, and immediately recognizable — set him apart from every other artist on the radio.
“Sailing,” “Ride Like the Wind,” “Arthur’s Theme (Best That You Can Do),” “Think of Laura,” “Never Be the Same” — the hits just keep coming with Cross, whose run of early-’80s success produced some of the most beloved songs of the decade. His San Antonio roots and his Texas pride have never wavered, making him a natural fit for a Texas Music Map feature.

Dallas: Whiskey Myers & The Black Crowes at Dos Equis Pavilion
2026-08-09 18:30 - 22:00 | Dos Equis Pavilion at Fair Park, 1818 First Avenue, Dallas, TX, 75210, United States
The night after rocking The Woodlands, Whiskey Myers and The Black Crowes head south to Dallas. On August 9, 2026, the Whiskey Myers Dos Equis Pavilion Dallas show brings this co-headline tour to Fair Park — one of the best outdoor rooms in North Texas.
Whiskey Myers is the Palestine, Texas band that cracked the Billboard country charts in 2019 without a single radio push. Their self-titled album got there on relentless touring and songs that sounded lived-in from the first listen. They are the kind of band Deep Ellum used to mint — hard-playing, straight-talking, and not interested in Nashville’s opinion. Frontman Cody Cannon’s voice sounds like it was worn in by years of late nights and honest work.
Dos Equis Pavilion at Fair Park sits in the heart of Dallas, a city with deep roots in Texas music history. The Black Crowes have been at this for thirty years and sound sharper for the time away. If you’re making a weekend of it, this same tour played Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion in The Woodlands on August 8th. Tickets for Whiskey Myers at Dos Equis Pavilion Dallas start from $25 on StubHub.

New Braunfels: Flatland Cavalry at Whitewater Amphitheater
2026-08-17 20:00 | Whitewater Amphitheater, 11860 FM 306, New Braunfels, TX, 78132, United States
There is a reason Texans call Whitewater Amphitheater the Red Rocks of Texas. Nestled on the banks of the Guadalupe River, below the canyon bluffs, and right in the heart of the Texas Hill Country, Whitewater Amphitheater is not simply another live music venue — it is a destination. A one-of-a-kind outdoor music experience for a diverse crowd of both Texans and tourists. A summer tradition. A bucket-list play. And on Monday, Aug. 17, 2026, that destination gets one of the most exciting acts in Texas country music when Flatland Cavalry brings their Work of Heart Tour to the riverbank at 8 PM.

Born and built in Lubbock, Texas, Flatland Cavalry has spent a decade becoming one of the most beloved bands to ever come off the High Plains. Whether hot-trotting in a 12-passenger van in the early days, caravanning on colossal treks with Willie Nelson, Luke Combs, and Lainey Wilson, or headlining their own months-long tours with a Who’s Who of historic venue sellouts along the way, Flatland Cavalry remains “at the fore of the red dirt renaissance,” according to Rolling Stone.
The band is out on the road behind their brand-new fifth studio album, Work of Heart. The 12-track album is a collection of songs written while touring and taking their music on the road — things experienced, emotions felt, and real life lived. Frontman Cleto Cordero noticed the word “heart” appeared often when this batch of songs came together, and the result is Flatland’s most personal record yet. The past couple of years have been full of milestones for the band — their first ACM Award nomination for Group of the Year, their first RIAA Gold certification for breakout single “A Life Where We Work Out,” and featured placements on Taylor Sheridan’s hit shows Yellowstone and Landman.
With four albums, six number-one singles on the Texas Country Music Charts, and over 500 million streams to their name, Flatland Cavalry has put in the work and earned every seat in every sold-out venue they’ve played. Hearing them perform those songs live — on a warm July night with the Guadalupe River rolling behind the stage, canyon bluffs framing the sky, and cypress trees swaying in the Hill Country breeze — is an experience that reminds you why Texas music is unlike anything else on the planet.
With a capacity of 5,600, Whitewater Amphitheater hosts some of the hottest and legendary names in music in one of the most beautifully unique and intimate settings in the country — on the river and under the stars. Seating options include general admission, preferred sections, and VIP Sky Boxes with private bars and premium sightlines.

Canyon: Charley Crockett at The Lumberyard Canyon
2026-08-27 18:30 | The Lumberyard Canyon, 850 North 23rd Street, Canyon, TX, 79015, United States
Out on the High Plains of the Texas Panhandle, the sky goes on forever and the horizon feels like it belongs to you. It’s the kind of country that puts things in perspective — wide, open, and honest. Which makes it just about the perfect setting for Charley Crockett, one of the most authentic voices in American roots music, when he rolls into Canyon, Texas on Thursday, August 27, 2026 for his Age of the Ram Tour. Showtime is 6:30 PM at The Lumberyard Canyon, located at 850 North 23rd Street — and this is one West Texas evening you won’t want to miss.
🎟️ Buy Charley Crockett tickets in Canyon, TX at The Lumberyard — West Texas’s premier outdoor concert venue
The Lumberyard is Canyon’s premier outdoor concert venue — a vibrant space designed for live music, community, and unforgettable nights under the West Texas sky, complete with a full stage, professional sound, and colorful lighting. With a capacity of 5,000 people and the wide-open Panhandle air as the backdrop, there’s no better place in the region to take in a show of this magnitude. The Lumberyard also features an on-site restaurant with an outdoor patio, so come hungry, come early, and settle in for the kind of Texas evening that reminds you why you live here.
And the headliner? Well, Charley Crockett doesn’t need much of an introduction in the Lone Star State. Tapped by Garden & Gun as an artist “shaping up to be one of country music’s most prolific torchbearers,” called a “must-see live performer” by Rolling Stone, and a “force to be reckoned with” by CMT, Crockett has spent the better part of a decade building a sound that is impossible to imitate and impossible to ignore. His signature “Gulf & Western” style — described by NPR Music as “very 21st century and very vintage” — weaves together country, blues, soul, Cajun, and R&B into something that feels both ancient and brand new every time it comes out of the speakers.
His latest album, Age of the Ram, caps what’s being called the “Sagebrush Trilogy” and carries a distinctly cinematic quality, built around a concept album framework anchored by a recurring theme that gives the record an ambition and depth beyond anything in his already remarkable catalog. Hearing those songs performed live, under an open West Texas sky with the last of the summer heat fading and the stars coming out over the Panhandle — that’s not just a concert. That’s an experience.
The Canyon date kicks off a landmark stretch of Texas dates for Crockett on the Age of the Ram Tour, followed immediately by two nights at Billy Bob’s Texas in Fort Worth and a Sunday show at Floore’s Country Store in Helotes — making this the first shot at catching him on what amounts to a Texas homecoming run. Canyon gets him first.
For every ticket sold, Crockett is contributing $1.00 to the Last Prisoner Project, a nonprofit organization working to free individuals incarcerated for cannabis-related offenses and repair the harms of the war on cannabis — because Charley Crockett is that rare artist who puts his money where his mouth is.
Chair rentals are available for this show, so check availability when you grab your tickets. As with any show at The Lumberyard, arriving early is the smart play — get a bite to eat on the patio, find your spot, and soak in the atmosphere before the music starts.
Canyon, Texas, this is your moment. Don’t let it pass you by like a tumbleweed on a dry Panhandle road.
