• ACL Fest Nights: the Stubb's aftershows are the better ticket

  The good ones move quickly, so watch the aftershows hub for releases rather than waiting for a general announcement.

• ACL Fest Nights: the Stubb's aftershows are the better ticket

  Full length sets in a room with a real PA is a different experience than the same act on a park stage. This is how you should see half that lineup.

• Caterer for a 60 person graduation party, something besides tacos

  This is super helpful, thank you all. The Peached Tortilla sounds like a great fit for the grad party. For anyone who has used them, do they handle rentals like tables and linens too or is that on us?

• Caterer for a 60 person graduation party, something besides tacos

  Love tacos, but we have done tacos for every party since 2015. Looking for a caterer that does something different for about 60 people.

• Rise Against at Moody Amphitheater on Sept 23

  Lawn is fine if you want room to move, which for this band is most of the point. Reserved is the call if you want to actually sit.

• Rise Against at Moody Amphitheater on Sept 23

  A 6:30 PM start on a Wednesday downtown means the lot hunting overlaps with people still leaving work. Rail or a drop off at Trinity saves you the headache.

• PBR Gambler Days at Moody Center in August

  Load-in for campus events on a Friday is always a nightmare. Robert Dedman Drive gets completely backed up. If doors or showtime is 7:45 PM, you need to be in the area way before that.

• Reminder regarding forum B/S/T rules and recent online scams

  Had some kid try to buy a road case behind Stubb's with a fake CashApp screenshot last month. Pointed at the door guy and the kid ran straight up Red River. Always check your actual bank balance before handoff.

• Anyone heading to the 2026 TXSFL Redemption Bowl & All-Star Game at Nelson Field?

  Live performances at sports venues are always a scramble for load-in. Whoever is setting up sound for those local acts on August 15 is going to be baking on the field by noon. Wires melt out there in August.

• Road to Lone Star Le Mans Racing Fanfest at Branch Park Pavilion

  Unloading actual Le Mans race cars at a pavilion takes serious work. Load-in for displays like that is no joke. Glad doors open right at 10:00 AM.

• Pandemonium Pro Wrestling show at Pinballz Lake Creek in August?

  Loading in over 30 wrestlers and equipment for 12 matches into a non-traditional venue is a heavy lift. Doors and show management will have to run a tight ship to get through 12 matches starting at 2:00 PM. Respect to them for putting it together for Jordan "JoJo" Saint's family.

• Ella Mai at ACL Live in August 2026

  Moody Theater is an easy load and a great room to see a performance. Street access on 310 West Willie Nelson Boulevard can get congested near doors, but staff moves people through security fast. Just do not confuse ACL Live with the outdoor amphitheater or the university venue if you are taking a ride share. Drives people crazy every time.

• Future Front Swim Session No. 25 at The LINE Austin

  No ticket prices or door fees were included in the announcement. You will have to check directly with the event organizers or ask at the door when you arrive at 111 East Cesar Chavez Street on Sunday.

• Future Front Swim Session No. 25 at The LINE Austin

  Poolside DJ setups can be tight on space for load-in, but the vibe is usually solid. Local resident DJs playing daytime sets always bring a good crowd.

• Brisketfest 2026 set for August at Far Out Lounge

  Far Out is a good spot for this layout. Outdoor stage handles the emo and pop-punk cover bands fine. Load-in is straightforward behind the main stage area, but parking for attendees gets chaotic quick along South Congress once the crowd turns up.
