As you know, I'm not just your content manager and newsletter writer... I'm also an artist and a small business owner. And let me just say... I have something so serious cooking. 🏀 That's all you're getting out of me for now, but if you want first dibs when I finally spill the beans, go follow Habibi Bazaar. Trust me, you're going to want to be there from the beginning.

While we're talking about things you'll definitely want in on, we're giving away a pair of tickets to Teddy Swims at Toyota Center on October 27. Future you will be very thankful you entered today.

JUST ANNOUNCED

• Alborosie blends roots reggae, dub, and dancehall with the authenticity that's made him a global favorite. See him at Warehouse Live Midtown on October 29 and leave your worries somewhere around the first bassline.

• Prayers pioneered the "cholo goth" movement, blending darkwave, synths, and post-punk into a sound that's completely their own. Catch them at Numbers Nightclub on November 5 and wear black... you'll fit right in.

• Jessie Reyez doesn't hold anything back, and neither should you. See her at 713 Music Hall on November 12 and scream every lyric like your situationship can hear you.

• Pablo Alborán brings his Global Tour KM0 to 713 Music Hall on February 20, blending fan favorites with new music in an unforgettable live show. Spanish optional. Singing along is not.

• Plus other just announced shows in Houston!

END AUGUST ON A HIGH NOTE

August isn't over yet, so don't start acting like summer already packed its bags. There's still plenty of time to squeeze in one more concert, check out a new restaurant, plan a day trip, wander a market, cool off at the pool, or finally cross something off your Houston bucket list. We've rounded up the best things happening before the month wraps up, so let's send August out the way it deserves... busy, fun, and with absolutely zero regrets.

IN THE FUTURE

LOCALS ONLY

• Weather reminder: Houston ends on the autumnal equinox on September 22, 2026, but the oppressive heat and humidity often linger until mid-October. True relief from hot weather usually arrives with the first strong cold fronts in October.

We're looking for fall/winter interns to help us discover events, write guides, create content, and share the best of the city.
