SUMMARY:Austin: Blue October at Bass Concert Hall
DESCRIPTION:Blue October brings its 20th Anniversary World Tour to Bass Concert Hall in Austin on Friday\, Dec. 11\, 2026\, at 8:00 PM\, with tickets starting at $110. The Houston band is performing its breakthrough album “Foiled” in its entirety\, and Jess Woodland opens the show. \nSinger Justin Furstenfeld formed Blue October in Houston in 1995 with his brother\, drummer Jeremy Furstenfeld\, and violinist Ryan Delahoussaye. The band’s mix of alternative rock\, raw confessional lyrics and violin set it apart from the start\, and after years of steady touring across Texas\, “Foiled” (2006) made them national stars. Its single “Hate Me\,” written as an apology to Furstenfeld’s mother from the depths of addiction\, became a top 5 alternative radio hit\, and “Into the Ocean” followed it onto pop and rock playlists. \nBuy Tickets \nTwenty years later\, “Foiled” remains the band’s best-selling record and the emotional core of its live show. Hearing it start to finish means “Hate Me\,” “Into the Ocean\,” “She’s My Ride Home” and “X Amount of Words” in the order fans first heard them. Furstenfeld has spoken openly about his recovery and mental health over the years\, and the band’s long run of albums since\, from “Approaching Normal” to “Spinning the Truth Around\,” has kept a loyal following coming back. \nGet your Blue October tickets on TicketNetwork \nThe anniversary tour is a long Texas homecoming\, with stops in Abilene\, Lubbock\, Irving\, Beaumont\, San Antonio\, Hidalgo\, Corpus Christi and two nights in Houston. Austin’s date lands at Bass Concert Hall\, the University of Texas’s largest theater\, whose seated room and strong acoustics suit an album-in-full show. See more shows on the Bass Concert Hall venue page on Texas Music Map. \nDoors typically open about an hour before showtime. Bass Concert Hall is on the UT campus at 2350 Robert Dedman Drive\, with paid parking in nearby campus garages. Friday nights in December bring holiday crowds downtown\, so plan to arrive early.
