- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
Spring is here, and summer is coming. In the Live Music Capital of the World, that means music is coming. Lots and lots and lots of it — from big concerts at major venues both inside and outside, to smaller shows at theaters and concert halls, to niche festivals that fill the gap between South by Southwest and Austin City Limits Music Festival.
Our Austin360 Spring-Summer Concert Guide gathers hundreds of options for music fans from April through September. Things might change as the pandemic continues, but for now, it looks like a hot time in the hot months ahead.
April 21
H.E.R. at Waterloo Park. More than just a singer, the 24-year-old R&B artist flexes an astonishing range of skills in her live shows. She seamlessly switches instruments throughout her sets, laying down melody on keys, fierce licks on guitar, bubbling grooves on bass and tasteful beats on the drum kit. Best known for sultry love duets with the likes of Bryson Tiller and Daniel Caesar, the Grammy-winning singer is adept at using the framework of a love song to explore the nuances of hard-won self-discovery. $32.50 and up. 7:30 p.m. waterloogreenway.org. — D.S.S.

April 22
Billy Strings at Waterloo Park. Still in his 20s, new-school bluegrasser Strings emerged from Michigan over the past decade to become one of the top draws in Americana music, thanks to a high-energy live show that has attracted fans from jam-band and indie-punk realms. He followed up his Grammy-winning 2019 album “Home” with last year’s acclaimed “Renewal.” $58-$110. 8:30 p.m. waterloogreenway.org. — P.B.

April 23
Bon Jovi at Moody Center. The band’s most recent album, “2020,” finds Jon Bon Jovi and crew in a reflective mood, creating earnest rock songs about reaching your own potential (“Limitless”) and the profound challenges facing our country today (“American Reckoning”) alongside the formulaic clichés repurposed as arena anthems that have always been their bread and butter (“Beautiful Drug”). Bon Jovi, who just turned 60 last month, is the only remaining original member of the group. The set list from the early tour dates is liberally sprinkled with your favorite hits, but reports indicate that the hair metal titan, who was forced to cancel some dates due to COVID last year, might not be at full vocal strength. $129 and up. moodycenteratx.com. — D.S.S.

Robert Finley at 3Ten. Austinites got introduced to Finley a few years ago when the Black Keys’ Dan Auerbach brought him out as a special guest at an “Austin City Limits” TV taping. The 68-year-old bluesman has had a late-career resurgence with records on Auerbach’s Easy Eye Sound label. The latest, last year’s “Sharecropper’s Son,” deals with Finley’s childhood in rural Louisiana. $20-$23. 8 p.m. 3tenaustin.com. — P.B.

Justin Bieber at Moody Center. The teen sensation turned 20-something bad boy turned redemption-rocking man of faith rolls into town for what appears to be his first Austin concert. (It is certainly priced like a once in a lifetime experience.) The tour is centered around Bieber’s pandemic release “Justice,” a sprawling release that explored a wide sonic palette, but recent set lists have also mixed in early bops like “Baby” and “Boyfriend.” According to reports from recent shows, the global superstar has also taken preach and praise breaks to share his renewed faith with his Beliebers. Jaden (Smith), Eddie Benjamin and Teo open. $298 and up. 7:30 p.m. moodycenteratx.com — D.S.S.

April 29
My Morning Jacket, Madison Cunningham at Waterloo Park. After gradually building a sizable audience with six albums from 1999 to 2011, My Morning Jacket noticeably slowed down over the past decade, releasing just 2015’s acclaimed “The Waterfall” plus a subsequent set of “Waterfall” outtakes in 2020. It wasn’t necessarily clear the Kentucky band would continue, especially since leader Jim James issued several solo albums during that stretch. But MMJ returned last fall with a self-titled album that re-established the band’s reputation for merging indie-rock with psych-tinged folk and country. Opening act Madison Cunningham, a Southern California singer-songwriter, earned a Grammy nomination for her latest release. $38-$202. 7 p.m. waterloogreenway.org. — P.B.

April 29-30
George Strait, Willie Nelson, Randy Rogers Band at Moody Center. Though the new UT-campus arena’s first shows are April 20-21 with John Mayer, this Texas-themed triple bill is billed as the Moody Center’s official grand opening bash. It’s also a two-day 89th birthday party for Willie, which is fitting given that he was born just before midnight on April 29, 1933, but his birthday was recorded on his birth certificate as April 30. It’s a rare treat to have Nelson and Poteet native Strait, who’s had more chart-topping country hits than any other artist, on the same bill. (King George will turn 70 in May.) Opening both nights is the San Marcos-based Randy Rogers Band. This show ain’t cheap; upper-level tickets start at $375, with stage-side seats going as high as $3,000. 7:30 p.m. moodycenteratx.com. — P.B.
April 30
Christone “Kingfish” Ingram at ACL Live. The 23-year-old blues guitarist shaped his sound at the Delta Blues Museum in hometown Clarksdale, Mississippi, where he took guitar lessons as a child. With a deep voice, an intuitive approach to phrasing and a knack for coaxing emotion from his six-string, he has become one of the leading voices in the new generation of blues players. Earlier this month, Ingram won his first Grammy, taking home the contemporary blues album award for his 2021 release, “662.” Maggie Rose opens. $25-$45. 7:30 p.m. acl-live.com — D.S.S.

Willie Nelson Birthday Tribute at Luck TX. If those Strait/Nelson shows at the Moody Center are too rich for your blood, this Sunday show at Nelson’s ranch west of Austin is a more than worthy alternative for celebrating the Red Headed Stranger’s birthday. Co-presented by Luck and Bruce Robison’s venture Next Waltz, the concert will feature an appearance by Willie himself plus sets from Nashville’s Margo Price, Colorado’s Nathaniel Rateliff and three-named Texans Robert Earl Keen, Ray Wylie Hubbard and Vincent Neil Emerson. $35-$150. 7 p.m. luckpresents.com. — P.B.
Snow tha Product at Emo’s. Raised by undocumented immigrants in California, the artist born Claudia Alexandra Feliciano has spent a decade steadily rising through the ranks to become the head chingona in charge of the Latinx hip-hop underground. Rapping in English and Spanish, she slips hard topics like immigration and social justice into rowdy, ratchet rap shows. $27. 7 p.m. emosaustin.com. — D.S.S.

Henry Rollins at Paramount Theatre
May 3
The Who at Moody Center. Roger Daltrey is 78 and Pete Townshend is 76, so hopes to die before they got old didn’t pan out. Still, if you went to see The Who at the Erwin Center in 2015, you know that these Rock and Roll Hall of Famers still have a lot left in the tank. The touring lineup includes Pete’s brother, Simon Townshend, on guitar and drummer Zak Starkey, son of Ringo Starr. Expect strings, too: The Moody Center site notes that the tour stops will feature “some of the finest orchestras in the U.S. and Canada.” $41-$302. 7:30 p.m. moodycenteratx.com. — P.B.
Rosanne Cash at Paramount Theatre. Being Johnny Cash’s daughter may have helped in terms of name recognition, but it was clear that Rosanne had the goods as a singer-songwriter from the moment her breakthrough single, “Seven Year Ache,” hit the airwaves in 1981. Across four-plus decades, she’s released 14 albums and won four Grammys, winning wide acclaim for her incisive songwriting set to richly melodic acoustic-based arrangements. Tickets for the originally scheduled Feb. 15 show will be honored. $30-$75. 8 p.m. austintheatre.org. — P.B.
Orville Peck at Stubb’s
Juan Wauters at Mohawk indoor
Cimafunk “Austin City Limits” taping at ACL Live

HAIM at Waterloo Park. Sisters Alana, Danielle and Este formed the band that carries their surname in California in 2007. During the South by Southwest Music Festival in 2012, their career began to pick up steam, as the alt-rock trio piqued the interest of industry insiders and tastemakers. The following year, they won the inaugural Grulke Prize for developing U.S. act. Now, with three albums, a slew of hit singles and a movie (“Licorice Pizza”) under their belts, they return to remind us that family ties can create powerful rock synergy on one of Austin’s biggest stages. Faye Webster opens. $47.50 and up. 7:30 p.m. waterloogreenway.org. — D.S.S.

Bamako to Birmingham: Amadou & Mariam and Blind Boys of Alabama at Paramount Theatre. Amadou Bagayoko and Mariam Doumbia met at Bamako’s Institute for the Young Blind in the 1970s. Originally marketed as “the blind couple of Mali” in West Africa, they came to prominence in Europe in the early 2000s after scoring a hit on French radio. Subsequent tours with the likes of Coldplay and U2 made them one of Mali’s biggest exports. The original members of the Blind Boys of Alabama, including current bandleader Jimmy Carter, met as children at the Alabama Institute for the Negro Blind in the late 1930s. Winning popularity with their tight-laced gospel harmonies toured through the segregated South during the Jim Crow era, they would later help soundtrack the Civil Rights movement. In recent years, the group has collaborated with Justin Vernon (Bon Iver), Taj Mahal and Valerie June. This show brings the two groups together for a lively cross-cultural outing. $35-$60. 8 p.m. austintheatre.org. — D.S.S.

Robert Earl Keen at Round Rock Amp. He’s retiring from the road (what, it doesn’t actually go on forever?) later this year, so catch Keen while you can. He’s a true Texas troubadour, one of the state’s top draws among Americana artists for several decades. This is also a good chance to see the northern suburb’s new outdoor amphitheater, run by the folks who operated the now-shuttered Nutty Brown Cafe southwest of town. 6 p.m. $45-$200. roundrockamp.com. — P.B.

Patti Smith at ACL Live. Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2007, Smith, now 75, occupies a singular place in American music. From the influential 1975 proto-punk album “Horses” to her 1978 hit single “Because the Night” to her 1988 anthem “People Have the Power” to her 2010 National Book Award-winning memoir “Just Kids,” she’s consistently transcended boundaries with works of passion and compassion. $40-$100. 8 p.m. acl-live.com. — P.B.

Joining her is Oklahoma troubadour Fullbright, whose long-awaited follow-up to his 2014 sophomore album “Songs” is tentatively due out later this year. $59.50. 8 p.m. May 7, 7 p.m. May 8. gruenehall.com. — P.B.

Ben DeLaCreme at Emo’s. Any reservations we might have had about including drag queens in our regular music listings were laid to rest when “RuPaul's Drag Race” star Trixie Mattel drew a huge crowd at Austin City Limits Music Festival for her sparkling set of ballads, pop ditties and costume reveals. Trixie’s castmate, Ben DeLaCreme, won more challenges than any contestant in “Drag Race” history when the two shared the screen on the third season of the reality franchise's “All-Stars” spin-off. Self-described as “terminally delightful,” Season 6’s Miss Congeniality bolsters her vaudevillian sensibility with serious vocal chops. Her new, marriage-themed show combines original songs, comedy and burlesque. $45-$55. 7 p.m. emosaustin.com. — D.S.S.

Dave Matthews Band at Moody Center. It’s a new venue for one of America’s top-drawing musical acts, after three stops in the past decade at Circuit of the Americas’ outdoor amphitheater. Expect the same blend of multiple genres into an organic sound that has put the DMB at the top of the jam-band circuit since they arose from Virginia in the 1990s. $95-$1,176. 7:30 p.m. moodycenteratx.com. — P.B.
King Hannah at Mohawk indoor
Darius, Cezaire at Parish

Angélique Kidjo at Bass Concert Hall. On her 2021 album “Mother Nature,” the 61-year-old Beninese Afropop artist delivers sharp observations about the climate crisis and global injustice with her forceful voice and wraps her sweeping calls for pan-African unity in jubilant rhythm and harmony. Her fifth Grammy win this month makes her the most awarded African musician of all time, and the cast of up-and-coming Afrobeat stars who contributed to “Mother Nature” cement her status as a living legend who’s helping to shape the next generation. For this show, Kidjo will be revisiting her 2018 project “Remain in Light,” a recreation of the 1980 Talking Heads album. $10-$55. 7:30 p.m. texasperformingarts.org. — D.S.S.

H-Town Throwdown at Round Rock Amp. Get ready to party like 2001 and the world just discovered the slowed-down grooves and souped up cars of Houston’s storied rap scene. This all-star cast of H-Town heavies includes a pantheon of kingpins from Geto Boys’ Scarface to UGK’s Bun B to the People’s Champ Paul Wall. If that’s not enough heat for you, Slim Thug, Z-ro, Lil' Flip, Mike Jones, Lil' Keke and DJ Michael 5000 Watts round out the bill. $30 and up. 6 p.m. roundrockamp.com. — D.S.S.

Omar Apollo at Emo’s. After releasing three critically acclaimed EPs, the steamy R&B/pop singer dropped his debut full-length in April. It’s a sprawling album that includes guest appearances from Daniel Caesar and Pharrell Williams. The Indiana native’s silky falsetto and heartfelt balladry in English and Spanish have earned him indie heartthrob status; the new release aims to push him into the realm of mainstream hit-makers. Deb Never and Niko Rubio open. $29.50 and up. emosaustin.com. — D.S.S.
Danzig, Cradle of Filth, Crobot at Stubb’s
Anomalie at Antone’s

The Eagles at Moody Center. When the Eagles last played Austin at the Erwin Center in 2015, Glenn Frey was still with them. His death in 2016 left Don Henley as the only remaining founding member. But guitarist Joe Walsh and bassist Timothy B. Schmidt, both of whom joined the Eagles in the 1970s, are still aboard, and the addition of platinum-selling country star Vince Gill to the lineup is an intriguing development. $195-$1,243. 8 p.m. moodycenteratx.com. — P.B.

Raveena at Parish. For the past several years, this Indian American artist has been wooing us with soft-filter, queer-love anthems and introspective R&B explorations. On her latest release, “Asha’s Awakening,” a concept album about a Punjabi space princess, she stretches her sonic palette, mixing sunny pop songs like “Mystery” with the sparse hip-hop seduction “Secret” (featuring Vince Staples) and “Asha’s Kiss,” an airy bedroom burner with a steady tabla backbeat and passages in Hindi. Technically sold out. parishaustin.com. — D.S.S.

Carrie Rodriguez's Laboratorio at Stateside at the Paramount. Austin violinist and singer-songwriter Rodriguez began these Laboratorio shows a few years ago and recently brought them back after an extended pandemic break. Past shows have mostly focused on connections with other local performers of Latin music, but this show broadens the series’ geographical and topical horizons. Singer-songwriter Gaby Moreno is a Guatemala native who lives in Los Angeles, while Oscar Cásares is a University of Texas creative writing professor and author of the books “Brownsville: Stories” and “Amigoland.” $25-$150. 7 p.m. austintheatre.org. — P.B.

They’ve released three excellent records in the past five years, including last year’s “A Few Stars Apart.” Expect selections from all of them in this two-night stand. $40-$45. 6:30 p.m. stubbsaustin.com. — P.B.

Grupo Fantasma with Joe Bataan at Paramount Theatre. The mighty 9-piece from Austin via Laredo has thrilled audiences around the globe with their world-class blend of hip-shimmying cumbia and border funk for over two decades. For this performance, the group will be joined by Joe Bataan, an Afro-Filipino artist who grew up in Spanish Harlem in the ‘50s and ‘60s surrounded by R&B, Afro-Cuban and Puerto Rican music. His synthesis of those sounds over a career that spanned four decades and 23 albums earned him the title “King of Latin Soul.” Group Fantasma will play a short set before backing Bataan for the rest of the night. Brown-eyed soul band Eddie and the Valiants from San Antonio opens. $20-$45. 8 p.m. austintheatre.org. — D.S.S.

Her commercial peak came with 2009’s “Middle Cyclone,” which reached No. 3 on the Billboard charts. She’s released just two solo albums since then and seems due for another, though those years also produced a splendid collaboration with K.D. Lang and Laura Veirs, plus a few more records with the New Pornographers. M. Ward opens. $36-$66. 8 p.m. austintheatre.org. — P.B.

Mavericks En Español at ACL Live. The Mavericks arose from Florida in the 1990s as a country band, but they were always destined to be more than that, largely because of spectacular singer Raul Malo’s Cuban heritage. They wove in elements of Latin, jazz and other styles along the way, winning a Grammy for 2017’s “Brand New Day.” But 2020’s “En Español” was a breakthrough, the group’s first all-Spanish album. They’ll focus on that material at this concert, which brings them back to the room where they taped the “Austin City Limits” TV show without an audience during the pandemic. Maggie Rose opens. $32-$50. 8 p.m. acl-live.com. — P.B.

The Suffers at Mohawk. When we caught up with the Houston band’s vocal powerhouse, Kam Franklin, during SXSW, she said she used the pandemic break as a boot camp to build her already-formidable skills. As the band charges into their second decade, she believes “this is the tightest we've ever been,” she said, “and the most connected that we've ever been. We are ready to show a healthier, more energetic, more free version of the band.” This party celebrates the release of the band’s third studio album, “It Starts With Love,” which comes out on June 3. mohawkaustin.com. — D.S.S.

Ishibashi just released a 10-year anniversary edition of “151a,” the debut full-length that launched his solo career.

Herb Alpert & Lani Hall at Paramount Theatre. Still touring at age 87, Alpert has led a legendary life, from his 1960s instrumental hits leading the Tijuana Brass band to co-founding the influential label A&M Records with Jerry Moss. He’s won eight Grammys (plus a Lifetime Achievement Award) and a Tony; was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2006; and received the National Medal of Arts from President Barack Obama in 2013. He’s worked often over the decades with his wife, singer Lani Hall; she’ll join him for this concert. Tickets to the originally scheduled Jan. 27 date will be honored. $35-$55. 8 p.m. austintheatre.org. — P.B.

Jimmy Buffett at Moody Center. Though Buffett has long been big enough to play the biggest hall in town, occasionally Austin gets treated to smaller-venue shows, because he typically rehearses here with his band before heading on tour. We last saw him with a yard full of Parrotheads at Stubb’s in 2015, but this time he’s helping to break in the new Moody Center. Expect plenty of margaritas to be served when he revisits the city where he wrote “Margaritaville” in the 1970s. $54-$969. 8 p.m. moodycenteratx.com. — P.B.
Earthgang at Emo’s. It is very tempting to cast the Atlanta duo, who lace sharp lyricism with syrupy Southern harmonies, as the next Outkast. Like the “ATLiens,” they unwind street wisdom and understand the power of a soulful hook. But their sound is distinctly post-trap, with a millennial approach to social issues that informs songs like the mental health check-in “Strong Friends.” Along with the rest of their Spillage Village crew, which includes Dreamville labelmates J.I.D. and R&B singer 6lack, they are emerging as leaders of the next generation and this is probably your last chance to catch them at a mid-size venue. $38-$99. 7 p.m. doors. emosaustin.com. — D.S.S.

Calexico at Scoot Inn. Touring bands largely stayed off the road over the past couple of years, but Arizona’s eclectic Calexico kept busy enough in the studio to produce two albums. “Seasonal Shift” came out in December 2020, followed this month by “El Mirador.” It’s now been a quarter-century since Joey Burns and John Convertino spun off from Giant Sand to create this cinematic desert-rock band with Mexican influences, and they seem to get better with each passing year. $30-$35. 6 p.m. doors. scootinnaustin.com. — P.B.

Weather Station at 3Ten. Singer-songwriter Tamara Lindeman’s Canadian outfit is known for elegantly arranged indie-folk music that incorporates horns and winds, but there’s also activism in their approach: “Ignorance,” the group’s acclaimed 2021 album, addressed climate change. Last month’s “How Is It That I Should Look at the Stars” is the Weather Station’s sixth album since its 2009 debut, “The Line.” $20-$23. 8 p.m. 3tenaustin.com. — P.B.

Denzel Curry at Stubb’s. For the most part, the rapidly rising Miami rapper eschews club bangers for reflective self-exploration on “Melt My Eyez See Your Future,” his fifth studio album. He flexes his jazz chops over a feathery vocal hook from Bridget Perez on “Mental” and gets battle ready with funk innovator Thundercat on “The Smell of Death.” Will it be a kinder, gentler Curry show? Maybe, but we still predict at least three mosh pits will break out before the night is over. Redveil, Skiifall and Playthatboizay open. $32.50. 7 p.m. stubbsaustin.com.— D.S.S.

Brandi Carlile at Waterloo Park. When Carlile first gained attention with her 2005 self-titled debut album, it was hard to know just how influential and broad-reaching her music would become. Early on, she was more of an indie-folk artist, but she soon gravitated toward Americana, winning a Grammy in that category for her 2018 album, “By the Way, I Forgive You.” Then came a crossover into country: She spearheaded the formation of supergroup the Highwomen, and she produced a comeback album for Tanya Tucker. Her live performances are very much a band affair, with twin brothers Tim and Phil Hanseroth a significant part of her sound and show. $125-$365. 7 p.m. waterloogreenway.org. — P.B.

Purity Ring, Dawn Richard at ACL Live. Oh what’s that, you like your shimmery synths with a side of sweaty ecstasy? Well here’s the double bill you’ve been waiting for. Expect Canadian trip-pop duo Purity Ring to serve up kitten-voiced savagery and evocative electronics on the twice-delayed tour for their 2020 album, “Womb.” Richard, a New Orleans native who first grabbed the national spotlight as a member of Diddy-engineered girl group Danity Kane, brought the house down with her futuristic remixes of classic NOLA grooves at SXSW. $31 and up. 8 p.m. acl-live.com — D.S.S.

King Princess at Stubb’s. Three years after she dropped her debut full-length, “Cheap Queen,” the Brooklyn bedroom-pop artist who became an international sensation with queer anthems like “1950” has a new album on the way. As of press time, there’s no release date for “Hold On Baby,” but the lead track is a soaring ode to lifelong friendships, and we’re guessing this would be a lovely show to share with your old-school besties. $32.50. 7 p.m. doors. stubbsaustin.com. — D.S.S.

James Taylor at Moody Center. Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? Check. Presidential Medal of Freedom? Check. Grammy MusiCares Person of the Year? Check. There’s not much Taylor hasn’t done in his 50-plus-year career, but he’s still making records, winning a traditional pop vocal Grammy for his 2020 album “American Standards.” That one featured material from 20th-century masters such as Henry Mancini and Rodgers & Hammerstein, but expect this show to be filled with many of Taylor’s own American standards. $59-$1,114. 8 p.m. moodycenteratx.com. — P.B.

The Head and the Heart, Dawes at ACL Live. Splitting with co-founder Josiah Johnson a few years ago was a difficult hurdle for Seattle-based indie-folk outfit the Head and the Heart, but Jonathan Russell stepped up as leader and kept the band on track. “Every Shade of Blue,” due out in late April, is the group’s third album for Warner/Reprise after two Sub Pop releases that launched their career. Opener Dawes, led by brothers Taylor and Griffin Goldsmith, is capable of headlining sizable venues in its own right, having been ingrained in Southern California’s fertile folk-rock scene for more than a decade. $40-$65. 8 p.m. acl-live.com. — P.B.

Gloria Trevi at Waterloo Park. The career trajectory of the so-called Mexican Madonna is a wild and bumpy ride. After bursting onto the scene in the late ‘80s, with a rebel image that reshaped ideas about what a Mexican pop star could be, she was a dominant force for a decade. Then a shocking scandal in which she was accused of grooming young singers to become sex slaves for her manager and mentor sent her to jail for almost five years. She was exonerated due to a lack of evidence in 2004. Upon her release, she moved to the U.S. and remade herself as the Supreme Diva of Latin Pop, with a string of chart-topping albums and international hits. $39.50 and up. waterloogreenway.org. — D.S.S.

Still, it’s a rare chance to catch Jackson in Austin, where he hasn’t performed in more than a decade.
