British rock band Bush will celebrate its 30th anniversary with Bush - Loaded: The Greatest Hits Tour in summer 2024, including a stop at Dos Equis Pavilion in Dallas on Sunday, September 8.

The two-month tour will kick off on July 26 in Bend, Oregon, traveling to 32 cities, including three in Texas:

September 4: San Antonio
September 5: Houston
September 6: Dallas

They'll be joined by special guests Jerry Cantrell (of Alice in Chains fame) and Candlebox on all dates. Additional guests will be announced.

Bush released their debut album, Sixteen Stone, in 1994. The success of songs like "Comedown," "Glycerine," and "Machinehead" made them famous, which led to their second album, Razorblade Suitcase in 1996, becoming the only No. 1 album of their career.

They have maintained a steady presence in the rock world over the past 30 years, with the majority of their songs reaching at least the top 20 in the U.S., including the No. 2 "More Than Machines" in 2022. Their latest release, Loaded: The Greatest Hits 1994–2023 in 2023, features the top 20 song "Nowhere to Go But Everywhere."

In order to make attendance possible for fans of every budget, a limited amount of tickets in participating markets will be as low as $19.94 (before taxes and fees), a nod to the year of their debut.

An artist ticket presale will begin on January 16 at 11 am Central time. General on-sale tickets will be available on Friday, January 19, at 10 am. Link to tour tickets is at bushofficial.com/tour, and the Dallas show is here.

Bush will perform a special version of “Glycerine” on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on January 16, and appear on NBC’s Today on January 17.

Indoor pickleball concept from Georgia bounces into Frisco

Ace

Pickleball paddles face off.

There's a new indoor pickleball concept coming to Dallas: Called Ace Pickleball Club, it's a growing chain from Georgia, making its Texas debut in Frisco in an old BuyBuy Baby space at at 2930 Preston Rd. #600. According to a release, it opens July 12.

Ace Pickleball was founded in Roswell, Georgia in 2023, and calls itself the only facility of its kind, delivering a member-focused approach and all-inclusive pricing.

Professional-grade cushioned courts and a welcoming community create the optimal playing experience for all skill levels. The chain currently has 15 locations across the U.S. including Colorado, Oklahoma, and Illinois.

They emphasize an inclusive community with unlimited open play, and offer clinics, tournaments, social events, and ball machine reservations. They also offer paddle demos so that members can test out the newest technology from a variety of brands to find their favorite.

When they open, they'll offer free introductory pickleball clinics for beginners to go over the rules of the sport and feel more comfortable as they learn about the game.

Indoor facilities have an advantage in that they're impervious to weather so players can play year-round.

The Frisco location is a nearly 33,000-square-foot facility with 11 full-size courts and one dinking court designed to welcome players of all skill levels. Memberships are $129 monthly with the first month free.

Bringing the concept to Frisco is Juan Menchaca, a former corporate worker who is a pickleball player himself. When he and his wife relocated to the DFW area in May 2023, he brought with him a lifelong dream of opening a sports facility.

Introduced to pickleball by his brother-in-law, who is now training to go pro in pickleball, Menchaca was instantly hooked by the game’s fast pace, simple rules, and strong sense of community.

Opening a dedicated pickleball facility felt like the ideal first serve into the world of sports.

“I saw the demand I knew Ace Pickleball Club was the right fit,” Menchaca says. “The model is perfect for all skill levels across the Frisco community. I’ve always wanted to create something people could rally around, and this not only provides that, but helps in bringing our community closer.”
