Red Bull's Sound Select program has announced a new set of shows in a handful of U.S. cities in late July. The program is designed to showcase local talent, and the Dallas show (on July 26 at Prophet Bar) is exemplary: Erykah Badu will be joined by Larry G[ee] and Dustin Cavazos.

This being Red Bull, however, there's more to it than just a great free show. This year, artists (or management or a Red Bull intern or somebody) will "curate" the audience. You can request a free ticket on the Red Bull Select site. You have from now until July 12 to prove your love for the Dallas scene via social media.

The Dallas show was curated by Central Track and Spune. Here's the full lineup:

July 26 Atlanta: Black Lips and Juicy J Philidelphia: TBA Dallas: Erykah Badu July 27 Los Angeles: Frightened Rabbit Austin: The Dandy Warhols and Theophilus London Chicago: Metric New York City: The Gaslight Anthem Nashville: The Airborne Toxic Event Minneapolis: Yeasayer July 28 Seattle: Dirty Projectors
