OUR PICKS FOR THIS WEEK
Tuesday, September 8, 2026 • 7 PM
DOMi & JD BECK
The Echo Lounge & Music Hall, Dallas
Dallas gets the first night of DOMi & JD BECK’s WHO ASKED? Tour, a fitting homecoming for a duo whose story started right here in DFW. They met as teenage musicians in the Dallas scene before their ridiculous chemistry, musicianship and sense of humor took them from local prodigies to Grammy nominees and one of the most distinctive acts anywhere near jazz.

ARLO PARKS
Granada Theater, Dallas
Mercury Prize winner Arlo Parks brings her warm, intimate mix of indie pop, soul and bedroom poetry to Granada. Few songwriters make vulnerability feel this effortless, and Granada feels like just about the perfect room for her.
Wednesday, September 9, 2026 • 9 PM
MARK FARINA
SHYBOY HiFi, Dallas
Mark Farina returns to SHYBOY for another installment of Mushroom Jazz, blending jazz-soaked hip-hop, downtempo beats and the Chicago house sound he’s spent decades helping shape. Farina gave us one of our favorite sets of JAMBALOO earlier this year at Josey Records, and seeing him in a room as intimate as SHYBOY is always special.
Friday, September 11, 2026 • 7 PM
PETER HOOK & THE LIGHT
House of Blues, Dallas
Peter Hook has one of the most instantly recognizable sounds in modern music, his melodic bass lines serving as a foundation for both Joy Division and New Order. Peter Hook & The Light give us the rare chance to hear that music performed by one of the people who actually created it.
Friday, September 11, 2026 • 8 PM
SEX PISTOLS featuring FRANK CARTER
Longhorn Ballroom, Dallas
Original Sex Pistols Steve Jones, Paul Cook and Glen Matlock are back together with the ferocious Frank Carter handling vocals. Nearly 50 years after Never Mind the Bollocks permanently changed punk rock, getting three actual Pistols ripping through those songs inside the historic Longhorn Ballroom is kind of fucking incredible. Panic Shack opens.
Saturday, September 12, 2026 • 7 PM
FRIKO
Rubber Gloves, Denton
Chicago’s Friko made one of the great indie-rock debuts of the last few years with Where we’ve been, Where we go from here, earning raves from Pitchfork, NPR, NME and plenty more. They can move from beautiful and delicate to absolutely explosive, and Rubber Gloves is exactly where you want to see a band like this while you still can.
