Hi friends! I have one mission after 713 Weekend and that's disappearing for a few days. Preferably somewhere tropical. If not, I'll gladly settle for eating my weight in Chicago pizza and pretending that's just as relaxing.

Lucky for you, The Black Keys are taking it back to basics at The Vic Theatre in Chicago on July 15, and we're sending one winner to see it live. Enter for a chance to win tickets to the show, a flight credit, and a complimentary stay at the Hotel Lincoln Chicago. Peaches! is out now, and this one is not to be missed.*

JUST ANNOUNCED

• There are two types of people: the ones who celebrate 713 Day... and the ones who wish they did. Enter to win tickets to Meow Wolf's 713 Day Celebration on July 13 with Ice House Radio, Houston vibes, food specials, and a prize pack to sweeten the deal.*

• Country night, anyone? Drew Baldridge hits The Heights Theater on Friday, July 24 with special guest Chase Wright. If "She's Somebody's Daughter" is already on your playlist, this one's a no-brainer. Save yourself a seat.*

• If your playlist starts with Billie Jean, this one's for you. MJ Night takes over House of Blues Houston on Friday, September 11 with a dance party dedicated to the King of Pop. Moonwalk your way there.

• Bryan Andrews brings his country sound and heartfelt songwriting to The Bronze Peacock on Saturday, November 21. If you're into rising artists before they become impossible to see, this is your moment.

• Plus other just announced shows in Houston!

KICK OFF PARTY AT BAD ASTRONAUT BREWING

HOUSTON! Why wait until 713 Day when you can start celebrating early? Join us on Friday, July 10 for our 713 Weekend Kickoff Party featuring local artists, a silent disco, cold $7.13 beers, and plenty of Houston pride. Trust us, this is the kind of party you'll wish you showed up to earlier.

IN THE FUTURE

LOCALS ONLY

• Houston's parks are getting a serious glow-up. New investments are bringing upgraded trails, greener spaces, better playgrounds, and more places to get outside across the city. Your next favorite neighborhood park might be looking a whole lot different soon.

• The final whistle is getting closer. FIFA is moving out of NRG Stadium while Houston's Fan Festival stays open through July 19. It's the beginning of the end for an incredible few weeks that brought fans from around the world to our city.
