What to do in Austin - Events
Austin is buzzing this week, so if you’re looking for things to do, you’re in the right place. Let’s kick off with what’s happening today and then roll into the weekend. If you’re near the University of Texas campus today, the UT Event Calendar lists a performance at Bass Concert Hall this evening with tickets starting around twenty-two dollars. It’s a great excuse to head over to the Performing Arts Center, enjoy the UT campus energy, and catch a live show in one of Austin’s best theaters. Check the UT events calendar for exact show details and timing, then grab dinner along the Drag or over on Guadalupe before or after. Live music fans have a big menu in front of them this week. Songkick’s Austin listings show hundreds of concerts across the city in 2026, and that energy is definitely rolling through this week. You’ll find everything from indie bands in small rooms on Red River, to touring acts at venues like the Moody Center and ACL Live at the Moody Theater. According to the Austin City Limits Live calendar for May, ACL Live is hosting artists like Sam Harris with the Truth and Consequences tour and tribute shows like Fire and Heart, celebrating Pat Benatar, Heart, and Journey. If you’re into big vocals and classic rock anthems, those shows are perfect options for a night out downtown. For a more intimate vibe, Austin City Limits Live also has Big Loud Texas Live with artists like Slade Coulter and Hank Weaver on the May schedule, bringing that Texas country swagger to the legendary Second Street District venue. It’s a great place to grab a drink nearby, stroll around the area, and then head into the show. As you move into the weekend, keep an eye on broader event roundups like austin dash tx dot events and Visit Austin’s April and May events page. They pull together festivals, food events, theater, comedy, and family outings all across Austin. Weekend highlights often include outdoor markets, food truck events, and neighborhood block parties, like the ThoroughFare Block Party and chef-driven dinners listed on 365 Things Austin’s May calendar. These are perfect if you want a more local, low-key Austin feel, with craft drinks, pop-up vendors, and live DJs or acoustic sets. Whether you’re in the mood for a big concert, a campus performance, or a chill neighborhood event with good food and better people-watching, Austin’s got your week covered.
