SUMMARY:Austin: The Mavericks at ACL Live
DESCRIPTION:The Mavericks bring their genre-blurring mix of country\, rock and roll\, and Latin rhythm to ACL Live at the Moody Theater in Austin on Friday\, August 7\, with tickets starting at $39. The show lands as part of the band’s “Music Lives On” tour\, a run shaped by a loss the group is still absorbing: longtime frontman Raul Malo died in December 2025 after a long illness\, and the surviving lineup — drummer Paul Deakin\, guitarist Eddie Perez\, keyboardist Jerry Dale McFadden and returning bassist Robert Reynolds — is carrying the catalog forward with a rotating cast of guest vocalists standing in on lead. \nFormed in Miami in 1989\, The Mavericks built their following on Malo’s operatic tenor and a sound that never sat still\, sliding from honky-tonk shuffles to bolero ballads to horn-driven Tejano without losing the thread that tied it together. The band picked up two Grammy Awards along the way\, plus a stack of CMA and Americana Music Award nominations\, and their most recent studio album\, 2024’s Moon & Stars\, leaned into the same restlessness that’s defined them for three and a half decades. \n\nBUY TICKETS\n\nACL Live at the Moody Theater has hosted plenty of tribute nights and full-circle moments since it opened downtown in 2011\, and this one carries extra weight. The 2\,750-seat room’s tight sightlines and warm acoustics suit a band built around vocal interplay and horn charts\, and Austin crowds — many of whom caught The Mavericks at their commercial peak in the mid-1990s — are likely to treat the night as part wake\, part party. \nGet your tickets on StubHub. \nThe band’s catalog runs from their 1994 breakout What a Crying Shame through 2020’s Spanish-language En Español\, and Malo’s death has prompted a wider reckoning with what he built: a body of work that made room for pedal steel and mariachi horns inside the same three minutes. Fans who want more of what this venue does particularly well should look back at Bob Schneider’s annual Valentine’s Day stand at ACL Live\, another night built around an outsized vocal personality and a horn section that doesn’t quit. \nDoors at ACL Live typically open around 7 p.m. for an 8 p.m. show. Parking is available in the attached garages off Willie Nelson Boulevard\, and the venue sits an easy walk from Second Street’s restaurant row for dinner beforehand.

SUMMARY:Austin: Neon Rodeo at ACL Live
DESCRIPTION:Neon Rainbows brings its beloved queer country dance night to the big stage on Friday\, Aug. 21\, 2026\, when Neon Rodeo takes over ACL Live at the Moody Theater in Austin. Doors open at 7 p.m. for the 8 p.m. show\, with tickets starting at $50\, and the bill stacks up fast: Next of Kin\, The Cowgays\, Ed West\, and drag performer and activist Brigitte Bandit all share the night. \nNeon Rainbows started in 2012 as a monthly line-dancing social for Austin’s LGBTQ+ community\, teaching two-step and country line dances to a crowd that country music had rarely made room for on its own terms. What began as a handful of dancers in a small room has grown into one of the longest-running queer country nights in the country\, drawing regulars and first-timers alike who want to two-step without having to explain themselves. Neon Rodeo is the event’s biggest swing yet\, taking that community dance floor out of its usual haunt and putting it on one of Austin’s most storied stages. \n\nBUY TICKETS\n\nACL Live at the Moody Theater sits right on West Willie Nelson Boulevard in the heart of downtown Austin\, a 2\,750-capacity room built for exactly this kind of night — big sound\, a wraparound mezzanine\, and enough floor space for a crowd that actually wants to dance instead of just watch. For a lineup built around line dancing and two-stepping\, that room makes a real difference; it’s less a concert hall and more a dance hall with a Hollywood-caliber sound system\, and Neon Rodeo is set to use every inch of it. \nGet your tickets on StubHub before the show sells out — floor tickets have already been moving fast. \nAustin has never lacked for country dance halls\, but most of them\, like the historic Broken Spoke\, built their reputation on a tradition that didn’t always make space for everyone. Neon Rodeo and the broader Neon Rainbows community have spent over a decade updating that tradition rather than rejecting it\, proving two-step and line dancing belong to anyone willing to learn the steps. Brigitte Bandit\, a fixture of the bill\, has become one of Austin’s most visible drag performers and LGBTQ+ advocates\, adding a performance edge to a night that’s built as much around community as it is around music. \nDoors open at 7 p.m. with the show starting at 8 p.m. Parking is available in the Moody Theater’s attached garage and several downtown lots nearby; given the dance-floor format\, comfortable shoes are worth the trade-off for style.

SUMMARY:Austin: ZZ Top at ACL Live (Saturday Show)
DESCRIPTION:ZZ Top\, the trio Texas has claimed as its own for more than half a century\, opens a two-night stand at ACL Live at the Moody Theater on Saturday\, Aug. 22\, 2026. Doors open at 7 p.m. for the 8 p.m. show\, tickets start at $137\, and Austin’s own Mike “The Drifter” Flanigin opens. \nBilly Gibbons\, Frank Beard and Dusty Hill formed ZZ Top in Houston in late 1969\, pulling from two rival bands — Gibbons’ Moving Sidewalks and Beard and Hill’s American Blues. Their third record\, 1973’s Tres Hombres\, broke them nationally on the strength of “La Grange\,” and 1983’s Eliminator turned their blues-boogie foundation into an MTV-era phenomenon\, going Diamond on the strength of “Sharp Dressed Man” and “Legs.” Elwood Francis has held down bass since Dusty Hill stepped away from touring in 2021\, and the band’s chemistry has barely missed a beat. \n\nBUY TICKETS\n\nACL Live sits in the same downtown Austin blocks where the city’s blues tradition still runs deep\, and a hometown-adjacent stop for a band the state has officially designated a Texas Hero carries extra weight. Gibbons has spent decades trading licks and stories with the same scene that built clubs like Antone’s Nightclub\, and a ZZ Top show in Austin always feels a little like a family reunion. \nGrab tickets on StubHub before Saturday’s show sells out. \nRock and Roll Hall of Famers — inducted by Keith Richards himself — ZZ Top have sold hundreds of millions of records and toured four continents without ever losing the “tone\, taste and tenacity” that’s defined them since Houston in 1969. The band returns to Austin for two nights\, Aug. 22 and 23\, giving fans a rare chance to catch back-to-back shows from a band still touring hard more than 55 years in. \nDoors open at 7 p.m. with the show at 8 p.m. Parking is available in the Moody Theater’s attached garage and nearby downtown lots.

SUMMARY:Austin: ZZ Top at ACL Live (Sunday Show)
DESCRIPTION:ZZ Top closes out its two-night Austin run at ACL Live at the Moody Theater on Sunday\, Aug. 23\, 2026\, with doors at 6:30 p.m. for a 7:30 p.m. start. Tickets start at $115\, and Mike “The Drifter” Flanigin\, the Austin B-3 organist\, opens both nights. \nFormed in Houston at the tail end of 1969 out of two rival bands — Billy Gibbons’ Moving Sidewalks and Frank Beard and Dusty Hill’s American Blues — ZZ Top built its reputation on blues fundamentals long before “Sharp Dressed Man” and “Legs” turned 1983’s Eliminator into a Diamond-certified crossover hit. Elwood Francis has manned bass since Dusty Hill stepped back from the road in 2021\, keeping the band’s three-piece chemistry intact. \n\nBUY TICKETS\n\nSunday’s show wraps up a rare back-to-back stand in the city that helped shape the sound Gibbons and company have spent 55-plus years refining. Austin’s blues scene\, still centered around rooms like Antone’s Nightclub\, has long counted ZZ Top among its extended family\, and a two-night booking at ACL Live is as close to a hometown victory lap as the band gets these days. \nBuy tickets on StubHub for the second and final Austin date before it’s gone. \nOfficially designated Texas Heroes and inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame by Keith Richards\, ZZ Top has sold hundreds of millions of records and toured four continents on the strength of what the band calls “tone\, taste and tenacity.” Sunday’s show closes the Austin leg of their 2026 tour on a high note. \nDoors open at 6:30 p.m. with the show starting at 7:30 p.m. Parking is available in the Moody Theater’s attached garage and nearby downtown lots.

SUMMARY:Austin: Buddy Guy at ACL Live
DESCRIPTION:Buddy Guy brings his “Damn Right Farewell Tour” to ACL Live at the Moody Theater in Austin on Friday\, Aug. 28\, 2026\, a stop billed as “Buddy Guy 90” for the blues legend’s 90th year. Doors open at 7 p.m. for the 8 p.m. show\, tickets start at $121\, and Texas guitarist Ally Venable opens. \nBorn July 30\, 1936\, in Lettsworth\, Louisiana\, Buddy Guy moved to Chicago in 1957 and became a house guitarist at Chess Records\, backing Muddy Waters\, Howlin’ Wolf and Sonny Boy Williamson while developing the raw\, showmanship-heavy style that would define Chicago’s West Side sound. He went on to open Buddy Guy’s Legends\, the Chicago blues club he still owns\, and to mentor a generation of guitarists who openly credit him as a foundation — Jimi Hendrix reportedly taped their conversations\, and Eric Clapton has called him the best guitarist alive. \n\nBUY TICKETS\n\nGuy’s fingerprints are all over Austin’s own blues lineage. Stevie Ray Vaughan cited him as a direct influence\, and the city still marks that connection with the Stevie Ray Vaughan statue on Lady Bird Lake\, just blocks from ACL Live. A farewell stop from Guy carries extra weight in a city that owes so much of its blues identity to the tradition he helped build. \nBuy tickets on StubHub while seats remain for one of Guy’s final Austin dates. \nA Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee and multiple Grammy winner\, Buddy Guy has spent nearly seven decades turning raw Chicago blues into arena-scale showmanship\, influencing everyone from Hendrix to John Mayer along the way. At 90\, he’s still touring hard\, and the Damn Right Farewell Tour gives fans across the country a final chance to see him do it live. \nDoors open at 7 p.m. with the show starting at 8 p.m. Parking is available in the Moody Theater’s attached garage and nearby downtown lots.
