Rock band Alabama Shakes will return to the road after an eight-year absence on a 2025 tour, including a stop at The Pavilion at Toyota Music Factory in Irving on Saturday, September 27.

The 30-city reunion tour will start in Chicago on July 16, taking place over 2-1/2 months through the end of September.

Irving will be the final date on the tour, and will be immediately preceded by two other Texas stops: Austin on September 25 and Houston on September 26.

They'll be joined by opening act Greyhounds at all three Texas shows.

Alabama Shakes gained much acclaim in the mid-2010s, releasing two albums - Boys & Girls in 2012 and Sound & Color in 2015 - and winning multiple Grammy Awards.

Since last playing together in 2017, vocalist/guitarist Brittany Howard has released two solo records, including the Grammy-nominated What Now in 2024.

“Last year, Heath (Fogg), Zac (Cockrell), and I started chatting about how much fun it would be to make music together and tour again as Alabama Shakes,” said Howard in a statement. "But, we didn’t want this to entirely be a look back. We wanted it to be as much about the future as the past. So we have a bunch of new music that will be released soon."

Citi cardmembers will have access to presale tickets beginning on Monday, February 10 at 10 am through Thursday, February 13 at 10 pm through the Citi Entertainment program. The artist presale will begin on Tuesday, February 11 at 10 am at alabamashakes.com.

The general on-sale will begin on Friday, February 14 at 10 am at alabamashakes.com.

Global girl group Katseye books Dallas stop on 'wild' 2026 tour

K-pop girl group Katseye will perform at American Airlines Center on November 11, 2026.

Up-and-coming global girl group Katseye will embark on The WildWorld Tour in fall 2026, which will include a stop at American Airlines Center in Dallas on Wednesday, November 11.

Following an eight-date European leg, the group will begin the North American leg of the tour on October 13 in Miami, Florida, traveling to 19 cities over the course of 45 days.

While they're in Texas, before they head to Dallas, Katseye will perform in Austin on November 10.

Like many similar groups, Katseye was formed in 2023 through a reality competition series, Dream Academy, which aired solely on YouTube, a news release reminds. A cast of 20 competitors was winnowed down to six eventual winners: Daniela Avanzini, Lara Raj, Manon Bannerman, Megan Skiendiel, Sophia Laforteza, and Yoonchae Jeung.

The six members come from four different countries: United States (Avanzini, Raj, and Skiendiel), Switzerland (Bannerman), Philippines (Laforteza), and South Korea (Jeung), making it a true global group.

In recent months, Bannerman has gone on a "temporary hiatus" from the group to "focus on her health and wellbeing." There is no word yet if she will rejoin the group for the tour.

The group released EPs in both 2024 and 2025, and will release a third EP, Wild, on August 14 just before the start of the tour.

Three recent singles - "Gabriela," "Internet Girl," and their latest, "Pinky Up" - have made the top 30 on Billboard''s Hot 100 chart, indicating their rise has only just started.

Fans will be happy to know that Katseye will perform at the 52nd American Music Awards on May 25. The group is nominated in three categories - New Artist of the Year, Best Music Video (for “Gnarly”), and Breakthrough Pop Artist.

Tickets for North American dates will first be available starting with a Weverse Artist Presale on Wednesday, May 20 from 11 am-2 pm, available to paid Weverse membership holders.

Weverse members must apply for the presale link by Sunday, May 17 at 4 pm in order to participate.

That will beollowed by the Katseye.World Presale at 3 pm on May 17. The general on-sale begins on Thursday, May 21 at 3 pm at katseye.world.
