    Concert Spillover

    Dallas feels the groove from Austin PsychFest music festival

    Dallas feels the groove from Austin PsychFest music festival
    play icon

    For years, Dallas-Fort Worth music lovers have enjoyed the effects of the annual Austin-based extravaganzas South by Southwest and Austin City Limits. We don't have to suffer through massive crowds and even larger lines for beer while sitting through dozens of bands we don't want to see just to catch a 40-minute set from one of our favorite acts. That's because nearly all stop by Dallas on their way to or from the Texas capital.

    In the very recent past, the edgy, somewhat dangerous Fun Fun Fun Fest has begun to provide the same positive outpouring of nationally touring talent. This year, the Austin PsychFest — now in its sixth, stellar year — can officially be added to the list of Austin festivals that benefit North Texan music fans.

    To sum it up, these are some the concerts coming to Dallas-Fort Worth thanks to Austin PsychFest spillover.

    Thursday, April 25

    Black Mountain, Besnard Lakes and Suuns at Dada
    All three of these bands play at PsychFest, and Vancouver's Black Mountain headlines this sweet bill in Dallas. But it's another Canadian band that people shouldn't miss. Besnard Lakes, led by Jace Lasek and his wife, have yet to release a bum album. Their brand-new record, Until in Excess, Imperceptible UFO, is perhaps the best yet. As with the other shows on this list, expect the walls to rattle from the synth- and guitar-driven soundscapes emanating from the stage.

    Friday, April 26

    Man Or Astroman? at Dada
    One of the stranger acts to come out of Alabama — that we can think of, at least — is the psycho, surf-rock-loving group who are touring to promote the addictive Defcon 5...4...3...2...1, the group's first proper release in 12 years. Any band that's led by dudes named Starcrunch and Birdstuff is probably worth catching live, especially if they're known to shred the stage.

    Clinic and No Joy at Dan's Silverleaf in Denton
    Continuing the international trend of bands coming through this week, England's post-punk crew has a new set of tunes to play, thanks to the excellent Free Reign LP. For fans of the Doors or the Black Angels, this is a band you need to know if you don't already. Dan's is an excellent setting for this show. Get there early enough to catch the set from No Joy, the Montreal-based band of shoegazers that just released the very epic Wait to Pleasure.

    Boris at Rubber Gloves Rehearsal Studio in Denton
    This band of Japanese women brings the noise. Rubber Gloves Rehearsal Studio is a perfect venue for Boris, as the walls seem to be damn near indestructible. With an experimental catalog that goes back to 1996, Boris experiments with its sound, creating a psychedelic vibe. It's not noise; it's deafening bliss. Don't miss killer local opening acts Pinkish Black and Bludded Head. Good luck to you and your set of senses.

    Saturday, April 27

    Black Rebel Motorcycle Club at House of Blues
    One of the headliners of PsychFest, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club is supporting its newly released, addictive record, Specter at the Feast. Although it's less dark and more anthem-esque than past offerings, these American garage-rock heroes know when to groove and when to thrash. Seeing them outdoors late at night in a festival setting would be cool, but the set at House of Blues likely will feature a light display that rivals the tunes. Stay safe out there.

    Sunday, April 28

    Os Mutantes at The Kessler
    Canada and Japan aren't the only foreign lands represented in Texas this week. Brazil's Os Mutantes ("The Mutants," in English) brings a mystical brand of experimental psych-folk to The Kessler stage. Touring in support of new album Fool Metal Jack, the veteran crew (a rather large outfit, actually) puts a swirling spin on what many know as "world music." The band certainly knows what it's doing by now, as members started performing in the late-1960s, though they did take a lengthy hiatus. This group knows where to find the groove.

    Canada's Besnard Lakes created perhaps the best album so far this year.

    Tom Cruise to make Dallas BBQ stop while on Mission Impossible tour

    Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible — The Final Reckoning

    How's this for a mission impossible? Hollywood legend Tom Cruise is coming to Dallas to eat barbecue, while on a quick Texas tour to promote the latest chapter of his smash film franchise Mission Impossible.

    The Top Gun star revealed on Instagram that, as part of a trip to promote Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning, he'd be visiting two Texas cities: San Antonio and Dallas.

    "On May 22, I'm coming to the great state of Texas," Cruise said in the Instagram video. "I'll be visiting Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio before stopping by some theaters to see you at some of the first screenings of Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning."

    After the whirlwind tour through Alamo City, he'll hop on a plane to Dallas.

    "We're going to fly to Dallas, where I'm going to get some delicious barbecue before going to more theaters to say hello. And I can't wait," he said.

    Unfortunately, for now, he's not saying exactly where.

    Which BBQ?
    If it's a barbecue joint with buzz he's seeking, that would call for a trip to Fort Worth, whose BBQ scene is currently among the buzziest in Texas — so buzzy, it earned a special category in CultureMap's 2025 Tastemaker Awards, with 12 nominees for Best Barbecue of the year. (It's also what chef Tim Love suggests.)

    If he's sticking to Dallas proper and looking for a celebrity-endorsed place, his pick would have to be Slow Bone, the BBQ restaurant recently featured on Guy Fieri's Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives. (Slow Bone is all over it with an offer of a Texas nail, their brisket sandwich; Hurtado chimes in and so does Ten 50 BBQ.)

    Otherwise, there are older favorites like Pecan Lodge and Lockhart Smokehouse; or two places with Austin roots: Loro and Terry Black's. If he's using CultureMap Dallas' Best Restaurants of 2025 as inspiration, he'll spy Zavala's Barbecue, the family-owned barbecue spot in Grand Prairie, which made the list.

    Which movie theater?
    Despite its name, The Final Reckoning is not the concluding chapter of the long-running series. In June 2023, Director Christopher McQuarrie told Fandango that the writing team already has ideas for future installments of Ethan Hunt's saga.

    Although Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning had its world premiere in Tokyo on May 5 and will screen at the Cannes Film Festival on May 14, its official theatrical release is May 23. Sharp-eyed fans might notice several local theaters have matinee showtimes on May 22.

    As for which Dallas movie theater he'll visit, if he's going for the best viewing experience, the IMAX at AMC NorthPark or Cinemark Dallas seem like two good bets.
