    Weekend Event Planner

    Death Cab for Cutie and Nine Inch Nails headline best weekend events in Dallas

    Alex Bentley
    Aug 14, 2014 | 12:00 am

    Music is the main attraction at most big events in Dallas-Fort Worth this weekend. Fans of rap/hip hop, low-key pop and rock, heavy metal, and R&B/soul all have a chance to catch a live show.

    Below are the best options for your precious free time Thursday through Sunday. Don't like what you see? Lucky for you, we have a much longer list of the city's best events.

    Thursday, August 14

    Under the Influence of Music Tour
    There could be more than a few people under the influence of both music and a little something extra at this festival-like concert at Gexa Energy Pavilion, which features a slew of rap/hip hop artists. The lineup includes Wiz Khalifa, Jeezy, Tyga, Ty Dolla $ign, Rich Homie Quan, Sage The Gemini, Mack Wilds, IAMSU and DJ Drama.

    Pegasus Theatre presents None of the Above
    Pegasus Theatre is known for its fun and visually baffling Living Black & White productions, but the latest, None of the Above, comes from its Churchmouse shingle. It's a rom-com about a privileged teen girl who battles wits — and more — with her bookish SAT tutor. The play runs at Bath House Cultural Center through August 30.

    Friday, August 15

    2014 KXT Summer Cut: The Happy Funtime Fest
    Fans of KXT, the indie music branch of KERA, come out in droves to Gexa Energy Pavilion for the annual Summer Cut festival. This year's version is stacked, featuring headliners Death Cab for Cutie, Iron & Wine and The Hold Steady, along with The Oh Hellos, The Wild Feathers, Thao & The Get Down Stay Down, The Unlikely Candidates, The Orbans and Valise.

    Dallas Arts District after-hours activities
    If it's the third Friday of the month, that means it's time for the after-hours activities around the Dallas Arts District. Late Nights at the DMA is an evening of art, jazz and dance inspired by the jewelry design of Art Smith, 'til Midnight at Nasher Sculpture Center features a concert by Whiskey Folk Ramblers followed by a screening of Where the Wild Things Are, and Crow Collection After Dark is set around the world of painter B.G. Sharma.

    Saturday, August 16

    1964: The Tribute
    There are lots of different Beatles tribute bands that claim to be the best — the local A Hard Night's Day among them — but 1964: The Tribute, who play at Bass Performance Hall, go above and beyond. The group re-creates an early 1960s live Beatles concert, with period instruments, clothing, hairstyles and onstage banter. This concert also features the Debbie Brooks Orchestra.

    2014 Dallas One-Minute Play Festival
    Sure, anybody can write a two-act, three-hour play that has multiple story arcs, but it takes a truly special playwright to come up with a satisfying one-minute play. Kitchen Dog Theater gets in on the growing national trend by staging close to 60 one-minute plays by more than 30 playwrights three times through Monday at McKinney Avenue Contemporary.

    Sunday, August 17

    Nine Inch Nails in concert with Soundgarden
    The brains behind Nine Inch Nails, Trent Reznor, has gotten a lot more mainstream these days thanks to his association with director David Fincher, a collaboration that has resulted in an Oscar, a Golden Globe and steady film work. His day job is on display at Gexa Energy Pavilion, as NIN headlines this concert, with none other than Soundgarden as opening act.

    Keyshia Cole in concert
    Fans of Keyshia Cole haven't had too much trouble finding her, as she's been the star of multiple reality shows on BET, including a third one coming soon. She comes back to Dallas to promote her music, though, as she plays at the House of Blues Dallas in support of her forthcoming sixth album, Point of No Return.

    Keyshia Cole plays at House of Blues Dallas on August 17.

    Rob Thomas will play at The Pavilion at Toyota Music Factory in Irving on August 29.

    Matchbox Twenty lead singer Rob Thomas will hit the road in 2025 with a solo journey, “The All Night Days Tour," which will include a stop at The Pavilion at Toyota Music Factory in Irving on Friday, August 29.

    Thomas' first solo tour since 2019’s “Chip Tooth Tour" will travel to 25 cities in August and September, starting on August 1 in Atlanta, Georgia.

    In addition to Irving, Thomas will play in Sugar Land (just outside of Houston) on August 30. He'll be joined by special guests The Lucky and A Great Big World at both Texas concerts.

    Thomas has interspersed solo ventures with his regular duties with Matchbox Twenty since his 2005 solo debut album, ...Something to Be.

    On this tour, Thomas will be celebrating the 20th anniversary of that album, as well as the release of his new album, All Night Days, set for release later in 2025.

    The tour will also be a family affair, as Thomas' son Maison will serve as his lead guitarist. Maison is also a member of The Lucky, giving him double duty at each concert.

    Thomas' solo tour follows Matchbox Twenty's "Slow Dream Tour" in 2023-2024. The band will celebrate the 30th anniversary of their 1996 debut album, Yourself or Someone Like You, in 2026.

    Ticket presales for the tour begin on Wednesday, May 7 at 10 am local time and run through Thursday, May 8 at 10 pm local time.

    The general on sale for tickets begins Friday, May 9 at 10 am local time at robthomasmusic.com.
