Robert Rodriguez’s Chingon Band at Aztec Theatre | June 12, 2026

Robert Rodriguez is a filmmaker who happens to have a band. The distinction matters on June 12, when he brings Chingon to the Aztec Theatre for a 30th anniversary event that’s equal parts cinema and concert: a full screening of From Dusk Till Dawn, a director Q&A, and then Rodriguez and company live on stage.

The Rush Tribute Project at Tobin Center for the Performing Arts | June 12, 2026

The Rush Tribute Project plays H-E-B Performance Hall at the Tobin Center on Friday, June 12 — and the room is exactly right for the material. Rush tributes don’t belong in clubs. The catalog is too dense, too layered, too structured around the album experience to work in a standing room. A performing arts hall is where this show should happen.

Buckethead at Emo’s Austin | June 13, 2026

Buckethead brings his 2026 touring run to Emo’s Austin on Saturday, June 13 — a night of avant-garde guitar mastery, interactive performance theater, and the kind of spectacle that exists nowhere else in live music.

Emo Night Brooklyn at The Echo Lounge & Music Hall | June 13, 2026

Emo Night Brooklyn brings its DJ-powered pop punk and emo dance party to The Echo Lounge & Music Hall in Dallas on Saturday, June 13, 2026 — a traveling series born in a Williamsburg basement in 2015 that now runs roughly 90 shows a year, filling rooms with fans of Fall Out Boy, Paramore, My Chemical Romance, and the rest of the 2000s emo canon. 18+. Doors 9:30 PM. Tickets from $18.

The Reytons at The Echo Lounge & Music Hall | June 16, 2026
