MUNA makes music about desire, survival, and what your body knows that your brain is still working through — and the LA trio has now reached the venue tier that matches that ambition. Their September 19 stop at Moody Amphitheater at Waterloo Park comes just two shows into the Gets So Hot Fall Tour (the run opened September 17 in Phoenix), which means Austin is one of the earliest reads on how the new album translates to a room this size. That it translates well is a bet the band seems willing to make.
About MUNA
The trio — Katie Gavin, Josette Maskin, and Naomi McPherson — released Dancing on the Wall on May 8, 2026, through Saddest Factory Records/Secretly Group. It’s their fourth studio album, produced by McPherson, and by most accounts their most charged. The band describes it plainly: “This is an album about love, heat, horniness, and heartache, grounded in the here and now.” Which is accurate as far as it goes. What the record actually does is fold desire and political fury into the same songs without letting either feel like a compromise for the other — electropop and indie pop with punk edges, sharp synths, guitars that cut when they need to.
Singles “Wannabeher,” “Eastside Girls,” “So What,” and the title track have been circulating since the album dropped in May. “Big Stick,” the most overtly political moment on the record — connecting desire and consumer culture to surveillance and state power — is the kind of song that tends to land differently when played outdoors at volume.
The Gets So Hot Tour routes through Texas, Tennessee, Georgia, Pennsylvania, and on through the Midwest and West Coast before closing at Red Rocks on October 21. A portion of proceeds benefits The Ally Coalition and their work supporting LGBTQ youth and queer migrants across the US.
Hemlocke Springs opens.
About the Venue
Moody Amphitheater at Waterloo Park sits at 1401 Trinity St in central Austin with a capacity of 5,000. It’s one of the more significant mid-size outdoor bookings in the city — the kind of room that lives between the club circuit and full arena scale, which is exactly the tier MUNA is navigating right now. Doors at 7:00 PM. Clear bag policy is in effect.
Tickets
Tickets start at $85 and are available through Ticketmaster. The show is all-ages. Upgrade packages — including expedited entry and lounge access — are available. See more Austin concerts this fall →
