    Houston-born band Blue October is celebrating the 20th anniversary of the iconic album Foiled with a lengthy North American tour including two nights at The Pavilion at Toyota Music Factory in Irving, on November 27 and 28.

    Beginning in Abilene on October 20, the tour will make several stops throughout Texas, including one in San Antonio on December 12, one at Bass Concert Hall in Austin on Friday December 11, and two closing nights in their hometown, Houston, on December 18 and 19. The band will play Foiled in its entirety on all dates.

    Known for hits such as “Hate Me” and “Into the Ocean,” Foiled reached the top 10 on the Billboard Rock Chart and established lead singer Justin Furstenfeld as one of his generation’s most distinctive voices. The band is also known for its theatrical live shows.

    Along with the tour, Blue October will release a special vinyl reissue of the album on May 29.

    “So now here we are,” Furstenfeld said in a statement. “Let’s show and remind everyone just how special and eclectic that album was. And, most importantly, how much we wore our heart on our sleeve for it.”

    Count Texas BBQ pitmaster Ernest Servantes among the band's many fans. At Burnt Bean Co. in Seguin, rated by Texas Monthly as the state's best barbecue joint, the Sunday brunch menu includes the Blue October — sliced brisket topped with jalapeño cream cheese, strawberry jam, and a fried egg that's served on a croissant.

    The annual Ice! holiday attraction at Gaylord Texan in Grapevine will take a trip to the wizarding world when it debuts Harry Potter as the theme for its 2026 edition.

    Set to run November 13-January 3, Ice! featuring Harry Potter will greet visitors with a towering ice sculpture of Hedwig, Harry’s beloved owl, before sending them through 10 rooms filled with photo-worthy moments and iconic scenes inspired by the films, says a release.

    Themed rooms will include Hogsmeade Station, the Forbidden Forest, The Three Broomsticks, The Great Hall, and Hogwarts Castle.

    In the castle room, visitors can race down six two-story ice slides that lead toward the Quidditch Pitch, where the room will burst into light and color in celebration of each Hogwarts house, organizers say.

    As always, visitors will be provided with blue parkas to stay comfortable while the attraction is kept at a temperature of 9 degrees.

    Guests can also experience live carving demonstrations and shop for festive gifts and exclusive collectibles in the Christmas Village retail store.

    In addition to the Harry Potter-themed ice attraction, the entire resort will transform into a holiday haven, featuring 2 million twinkling lights, a 54-foot Christmas tree centerpiece, thousands of ornaments, miniature trains, and 25-foot-tall toy soldiers.

    Guests can also enjoy ice tubing, ice skating, snowball throwing, gingerbread decorating, photos with Santa, stories with Mrs. Claus, illusionist shows, character breakfasts, and more.

    2026 marks the 25th anniversary of Ice!, which was created by Gaylord Hotels in 2001 for its Nashville location; it debuted in Grapevine in 2005. The ice carvers will travel more than 6,400 miles from Harbin, China, known as the “Ice City” and home to the world’s largest ice and snow festival, to bring their art to Grapevine.

    Tickets for Ice! featuring Harry Potter (starting about $33) are now available at the website.
