Amid the mass exodus of Austinites from the city to escape the summer heat… there is still a very important group coming to the city: artists. The music scene breaks for nothing and no one, and summer concerts, in the live music capital of the world, are plentiful and beloved.
Austin, of course, has no shortage of music venues and events. These are just a few of the ones you should know about this summer in Austin, Texas.
Doubling as the UT Basketball Arena, Moody Center has brought in some of the biggest names in music since its opening less than two years ago. Lucky for us, their lineups aren't slowing down any time soon! Check out these iconic artists coming to the Moody Center this summer.

Just when we thought we had seen the last Blues on the Green in Austin, the city came together, acquired more sponsorship, and kept this free summer event alive another year. This is an Austin tradition– almost like a free, mini, somehow even hotter, ACL. There's food, drinks, and great music– what more could you ask for?
One of Austin’s most iconic venues, ACL Live has hosted just about every major artist you can think of at some point in its tenure. This summer, they’re bringing even more fun shows you can make a night of!
May 23-25: Rainbow Kitten Surprise
June 9: Ringo Starr & His All Starr Band
June 29: Let's Sing Taylor: Live Band Experience
August 2: Iron & Wine
