We just lost Ozzy Osbourne, so keep in mind that the \u201cPrince of Darkness\u201d himself endorsed Yungblud as his generational successor<\/a>. Already a decade into his career, the 28-year-old English rocker first gained traction with his self-titled 2022 album. He went viral this year for his June 20 release \u201cIdols\u201d and his friendship with the Osbourne family. Yungblud also opened up a new store in London this month called Beautifully Romanticised Accidently Traumatized<\/a> (B.R.A.T.),\u00a0and his first feature-length film \u201cAre You Ready, Boy?\u201d<\/a> is about to hit theaters. The second part of his new album \u201cIdols: Part Two\u201d is coming soon, so try to catch Yungblud live in concert before this rock prot\u00e9g\u00e9 becomes as famous as his mentor. \u2014 Mars Salazar<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

I feel like I\u2019ve been waiting \u201cforty days and forty nights\u201d to see Fitz and the Tantrums come back to Austin. In reality, they played ACL Live last August and are playing the same venue again just one year later.

The band also made an appearance at Longhorn City Limits last September after Texas football\u2019s SEC opening home game. Fitz and the Tantrums may be from California but it\u2019s clear they have a soft spot for Austin. We can give them a \u201cHandClap\u201d<\/a> for that. \u2014 M.S.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Oct. 25: Alice Cooper, Judas Priest at\u00a0Germania Insurance Amphitheater<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
\n

\u201cWe\u2019re not worthy! We\u2019re not worthy!\u201d “Wayne\u2019s World” said what we\u2019ve all been thinking about Alice Cooper in 1992. The 77-year-old\u2019s six-decade career gave us hits like\u00a0\u201cPoison,\u201d<\/a> \u201cSchool\u2019s Out\u201d<\/a> and \u201cNo More Mr. Nice Guy.\u201d<\/a> Lucky for us, the \u201cGodfather of Shock Rock\u201d said he has no plans to retire during a SiriusXM podcast earlier this year. Cooper was recently joined onstage by Johnny Depp for an Ozzy Osbourne tribute during his London show in July, and opened for My Chemical Romance\u2019s tour stop in Philadelphia on Aug. 15. Judas Priest is co-headlining in support of their 2024\u00a0EP, \u201cThe Serpent and the King.\u201d<\/a> \u2014 M.S.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Oct. 31: Stereolab at the Far Out Lounge<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
\n

Long before the word \u201cvibes\u201d became overused,\u00a0Stereolab was making music that defined it. Their blend of French pop,\u00a0krautrock and electronica has influenced indie rock darlings and modern producers.\u00a0 And since the show lands on Halloween at the Far Out Lounge, expect the night to feel a little extra surreal, like the perfect soundtrack for a stylishly spooky holiday. \u2014 A.G.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

It\u2019s surprising that neither act is in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame yet.\u00a0\u201cDevo,\u201d<\/a> a new Netflix original documentary about the band that hit streaming on Aug. 19, chronicles the group\u2019s 52-year run,\u00a0which began after band members witnessed the Kent State shootings firsthand in 1970.

Nov. 4: Maroon 5 at Moody Center<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
\n

Maroon 5 just put out a new album, \u201cLove is Like,\u201d on\u00a0Aug. 16 with an\u00a0aforementioned Lil Wayne cameo on the title track. The band\u2019s been keeping a low profile in the public eye since lead singer Adam Levine\u2019s cheating scandal turned into tabloid fodder in Oct. 2024. It seems as though the new album has pushed that drama to the wayside, and now the band that gave us pop hits like \u201cThis Love,\u201d<\/a> \u201cShe Will Be Loved,\u201d<\/a> \u201cMoves Like Jagger\u201d<\/a> and \u201cPayphone\u201d<\/a> is back in the public\u2019s good graces after a surprise show in Santa Barbara on Aug. 16. I suppose we still have more \u201cSugar\u201d<\/a> to taste from Maroon 5. \u2014\u00a0M.S.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Nov. 11: Dijon at Stubb’s Waller Creek Amphitheater<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
\n

If intimacy had a soundtrack, it might sound like Dijon. The singer-songwriter crafts songs that feel both raw and tender, where indie-folk sensibilities melt into R&B grooves. He also helped produce Justin Bieber\u2019s latest album, “Swag.” You\u2019ll likely walk out feeling like you\u2019ve discovered your new favorite artist. \u2014 A.G.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Nov. 13-14: Billie Eilish at Moody Center<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
\n

Billie\u00a0Eilish has gone from whisper-pop wunderkind to one of the biggest artists in the world without losing her signature edge. And now she’s bringing that edge to not one, but two sold-out nights at the Moody Center. You can expect a set list that mixes hits like “Ocean Eyes” with new material that feels both cinematic and deeply personal. Tickets are currently sold out on\u00a0Ticketmaster, but resale options could pop up closer to the show. \u2014 A.G.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

DJs for this year\u2019s event include Charlotte de Witte, Duke Dumont, Four Tet, and Underworld. Attendees can expect generous set times (usually over 90 minutes) that allow DJs to craft a proper arc from start to finish.\u00a0\u2014 A.G.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
