Stage

Every live show holds the same weight; someone there is seeing their favorite artist for the first time. Likely someone whose music helped them through a hard time, helped them realize feelings they didn’t know they were hiding, or helped them discover a part of themselves. However, it seemed for Cavetown, most everyone in the room had a spiritual or almost religious experience seeing lead singer, Robin, live.

When they say house is a feeling, Rochelle Jordan is a testament to that. Blending R&B with house and dance music, the British-Jamaican artist delivered a synchronized, captivating set that had the audience doing what house music does best: dancing. Jordan joined Suki Waterhouse on her The Loveland Tour at the House of Blues in Orlando, Florida, on September 30.

Jackson Marshall’s performance was a reminder that a great concert isn’t always about filling a room. Sometimes, it’s about the people who show up, know every lyric, and make a small space feel like something much bigger.

Nobody brings the energy like Saint Motel does. Their music is a go to whenever I'm feeling down and need a pick me up because you simply can't be sad when you're listening to their songs. However, I didn't know where to place my expectations going into a live performance. Sometimes that energy can't translate as well live so I was a little worried, but Saint Motel absolutely exceeded any expectations and had the entire audience bouncing around the Scoot Inn in Austin, TX. Ph

Finn first visited town in January 2019 to play with his then-band Calpurnia, and didn't return until March 2025 when he made his directorial debut at a series of stops for his movie “Hell of a Summer” with co-director and co-writer Billy Bryk. He seemed to like Austin so much that he came back a year later for the premiere of Bryk's brother Dempsey's movie “Crash Land” at SXSW this past March, which received 1

Hey, Nothing is genuinely one of the most interesting additions to the indie scene I’ve seen in a while. You need to have your eye on them, immediately. Photo by: Alexis Whitfield The band brought their Hound World Tour to Austin, TX and absolutely blew everyone at Scoot Inn away! Despite the early show and the blazing Texas heat, the fans showed up and danced the night away alongside the band. The intimate venue provided the perfect space for the band to dance around, intera

The Los Angeles punk quartet makes their 6th tour stop for their esteemed Gotta Get Out album, touching down in Denver, Colorado where local band Capture This and Minneapolis rockers, Vial, open up the swarming Summit Music Hall venue. Capture This and Vial aptly warm up the crowd with pop punk ballads and political word play. The bands have appropriately partnered with activist platforms Propeller, PLUS1 and Headcount to promote immigrant and trans rights as well as educati

Lunar Vacation at Levitation was one of those shows where I left feeling like I had just experienced something completely new and life changing. Photo by Alexis Whitfield (@alexiscaptures.jpg) I've been a fan of Lunar Vacation for a while, so getting to see them live for the first time was already something I was really excited about, but I didn't expect the whole room to feel quite as dreamy as it did. Their music has this hazy, floaty quality to it, and hearing it live whil

Following the unfortunate cancellation of Rachel Chinouriri’s headline show due to take place that evening, the Darlings, Rachel’s fan-base, came together at an impromptu gathering in the park, all thanks to Kaitlin, the owner of Rachel's HQ account. Heidi Curtis joined us to do an acoustic set and showed her deepest gratitude to all

I genuinely don't think I've ever had this much fun shooting a show. Photo by: Alexis Whitfield (@Alexiscaptures.jpg) Bop to the Top was basically a giant Disney nostalgia party, except instead of being 10 years old, everyone was in their late 20s and early 30s and fully committed to reliving their childhood for the night. It was so much fun seeing everyone react to all of these songs that were such a huge part of growing up. The second a recognizable song came on, the entir

If I had to choose one way to describe the feeling of live music, it would be ‘infectious energy’, and that is exactly what Six Foot Blonde created in Indianapolis, IN, on Friday, Aug.28. Photo by: Mikkenzi Edwards From the moment they took the stage at the Hi-Fi Annex, it felt like the crowd and the band became one. They didn't just perform at the crowd; they brought everyone into their energy and made the audience feel like part of the show. Based out of Bloomington, IN, Si

Everything about the Chicago/Styx Windy Cities Tour felt like stepping into an arena in the 1980s. Photo: Alexis Whitfield @alexiscaptures.jpg The first act of the night was Chicago. This was my first time seeing them after having grown up on their music and I was so surprised at how much fun I had. The first part of the show consisted of the more jam-band style of playing, and the fun that the band had while playing on stage immediately radiated through the fans. I genuinely

RIYL: Dirty Heads, 311, Sublime, Little Stranger We need to talk about Tropidelic… like right now. I can guarantee that they are the missing piece to your playlists and will definitely make it onto all of your summer soundtracks. I got to experience the euphoria of the band’s live performance in Austin last week on tour with Little Stranger and I can’t stop thinking about it. So you’ve never heard of Tropidelic and want to know what you’re missing out on? Let me give you the

RIYL: All American Rejects, Bowling for Soup, 3OH!3, Good Charlotte August 7, 2026 was a night of nostalgia when Simple Plan brought “The Bigger Than You Think Tour, The Sequel!” to Austin’s Moody Amphitheater. People of all ages gathered on a hot Texas night to celebrate three amazing bands playing their catalogs from the past two decades. Even though it was almost 100 degrees, that didn’t stop people from dancing the whole night and screaming on the top of their lungs to

Whitewater Amphitheater had a fantastic turnout on July 25, 2026, as The Black Keys brought their Peaches ‘N Kream World Tour to New Braunfels, TX. Despite the weather being 100+ degrees, the venue was packed. After speaking to many fans in the crowd, you could tell The Black Keys are the type of band that has a dedicated fanbase, as many have been listening to their music for decades. Photo: Lyle Fox True to the tour and album name, peaches were at the center of everything.

Joji's unique connection with his fans was on full display as the giant platform carried him above the Moody Center stage in Austin, TX on Monday. If there's anything that fans who see Joji's live performance can agree on, it's that his shows are unmatched. Upon coming into the venue, fans are greeted with a giant platform hanging far above the stage, already setting expectations high for the show (literally). The night started off with Corbin and Nate Sib warming up the crow

I've come to greatly appreciate the thought that goes into planning tours, as more and more artists take on the storytelling approach to their performances instead of just playing through their discography. 5 Seconds of Summer is the perfect example of how this storytelling can not only be used to frame the structure of the show, but can also comment on topics impacting our world, the band, or their fans. 5SOS opened their Austin show in the most predictable way possible: by

I have to start this show recap with the thought that has been bouncing around in my head since last night: Khalid's show was one of the most genuine expressions of love for his craft and his fans that I've seen in a really long time, especially for such a big artist. Khalid brought his 2026 'It's Always Summer Somewhere' Tour to Austin, TX last night and we were blown away at how incredible this show was. The setlist was frightening going into the show, with 36 songs we were
