The Dallas Concerts to Look Forward to This Fall

It’s officially fall in Dallas (finally). As many Dallasites know, that means autumn leaves, Pumpkin Spice everything and cooler weather throughout September, October and November. The fall season also means concerts are abundant, showing no signs of slowing down in festivals, tour stops and pop-up shows.

Summer’s officially over and the autumnal equinox is here. Dallas is set to welcome major artists to our city. This curated list of concerts includes some in the surrounding area, like Fort Worth and Irving. Here are the best fall concerts of 2025.

Kaash Paige at Trees

Oct. 24

Dallas-born singer, songwriter and rapper told the Observer in August that she likes being lowkey. “I like to be out of the mix and then come back into the mix. Because I feel like when I come into the mix, it makes my star power so much more,” she said. She’s back outside for the Better Than Revenge Tour with Nobu Woods, making her hometown show one that’ll bring out all the Big D steppers. Kali Flower is opening for one more Lost Girl SZN show, as well as Alex Irish, who has a project coming called Midnight in Dallas on Oct. 29. Dee Gatti is on here, too. It’s one of those Friday nights you don’t want to miss. For the real ragers. Friday, Oct. 24, at 7 p.m. at Trees, 2709 Elm Street. All ages. Tickets are available starting at $32.27 on Prekindle.

NBA Youngboy at American Airlines Center

Oct. 30

Over Labor Day weekend, YoungBoy Never Broke Again, who is now back to going by his original name NBA Youngboy (or so we think), started his MASA (Make America Slime Again) Tour in Dallas with back-to-back nights at American Airlines Center. During the tour kickoff, the Baton Rouge rapper donated $50,000 to two Dallas nonprofits: $25,000 each to Urban Specialists, a nonprofit that works to reduce violence in communities and Manifest Freedom, a nonprofit that invests in entrepreneurs and creatives impacted by the criminal justice system.

If you missed out on NBA Youngboy the first time around, you have another chance during Halloween weekend. He’s running back the MASA  tour stop for his Dallas fans, a 50-song setlist blending MASA tracks with his street classics. Resell tickets are steep, but SeatGeek has some better deals to see one of hip-hop’s Gen Z stars rap about pain and struggle. With TOOSII, DeeBaby, K3, Mellow Rackz and Lil Dump. Thursday, Oct. 30, at 7 p.m. at American Airlines Center, 2500 Victory Ave. Tickets are available on SeatGeek starting at $240.

DJ Snake at Silo Dallas

DJ Snake is a French producer at the forefront of electronic music. One of his biggest hits is “Turn Down for What” with Lil Jon, which is played anytime you need a boost of adrenaline on top of a Red Bull. More recently, he’s collaborated with Justin Bieber, Cardi B, Selena Gomez, Major Lazer, MÁ˜ and J Balvin, with the latter’s single “Noventa” a high-energy song that blends reggaetón and a trunk-rattling beat with killer Spanish raps.

Maroon 5 at American Airlines Center

Nov. 7

Maroon 5 is a reliable hitmakers who have decades of catchy pop tunes. Any millennial knows the hits like “Harder to Breathe,” “This Love” and “Moves Like Jagger.” Now on their eighth studio album, Love Is Like, the band is touring the project. “I feel like we’ve gone back to what we used to do, which is to not pay attention to where we fit and produce the music organically,” said frontman Adam Levine in a statement about the album. “This is kind of how we stuck out in the beginning when we first started our careers.” They’re one of those bands that collaborate with whoever is in the now, adding Sexyy Red (“I Like It”) and BLACKPINK’s Lisa (“Priceless”) to their list of glittery guest stars. After all these years, Maroon 5 is still pulling off big arena tours and filling in seats, despite what critics have to say about their current music. Friday, Nov. 7, at 8 p.m. at American Airlines Center, 2500 Victory Avenue. Tickets are available starting at $64.40 on Ticketmaster.

Jeff Tweedy at Longhorn Ballroom

Nov. 11

Jeff Tweedy is best known as the frontman of Wilco, who released his triple album Twilight Override on Sept. 26. Tweedy has been putting out more music as a solo artist (13 Wilco albums, four solo albums), releasing it under his name along with a memoir and essays on songwriting. “It’s whittled down from five albums, so this is the edited version of it,” Tweedy tells Amanda Petrusich of The New Yorker. “I like going to work every day, and I like having a practice of writing and that tends to provide a lot of material. There was an inspiration to make a triple record. Just kind of like just to fly in the face of how short everything is getting, and how fast everybody wants everything to be. You don’t have to listen to it in one sitting. I think the songs, hopefully, stand on their own, but I do like the idea of giving someone almost two hours to be pulled along by an outpouring of songs.” With a band that includes Sammy and Spencer Tweedy, Sima Cunningham, Macie Stewart and Liam Kazar. Tuesday, Nov. 11, at 6:30 p.m. at Longhorn Ballroom, 16 Corinth St. Tickets are available starting at $44.64.

Little Simz at the House of Blues

U.K. rap has gained popularity in the States. Skepta, Stormzy, Central Cee and Dave are just some of the names making noise. Little Simz, a British rapper and actress seen in Top Boy, is currently touring her sixth studio album, Lotus, an expansive and yet deeply personal project. The 13-track album combines influences from punk to jazz, soul to samba, illustrated through her emotive vignettes.

He has a song called “Erykah Badu” with Camo on the album, a missed opportunity if he doesn’t play this live.

In quotes from a press release, Shelton said, “Dallas is just a few hours from where I grew up and my ranch in Oklahoma, so it almost feels like a hometown show.

In the current generation of rappers, it’s Carti and NBA Youngboy who are at the top. Carti dropped I AM MUSIC in the first quarter of 2025, a 30-song flood of all his impulses (good and bad) with features by Kendrick Lamar, Travis Scott, Future, Lil Uzi Vert and more. The vibes will be right. Friday, Nov. 21, at 7 p.m. at Dickies Arena, 1911 Montgomery St, Fort Worth. Tickets are available starting at $75 on Ticketmaster.com.

Neko Case at Longhorn Ballroom

Nov. 23

Last year, when we saw singer-songwriter Neko Case, she made the best out of a crummy weather situation. “Indeed, as she sang the gobsmackingly beautiful, countrified waltz ‘Hex,’ in the concert’s latter half (with its lyric ‘My voice is all you’ll hear’), it wasn’t hard to connect the dots between all the disparate elements at play, and realize what had transpired: lightning lacing the sky outside with menacing energy, a force of nature mirrored only by the woman commanding the spotlight on the Granada stage; an audience whose size belied its fervent devotion to the music being made; an artist, for whatever reasons, just not feeling it; a fistful of expertly rendered songs, brimming over with feeling – what could have collapsed into a run-of-the-mill evening out instead became more than the sum of its parts, perhaps not achieving transcendence, but coming damn close,” wrote our contributor Preston Jones.

Case is touring again in the fall. For this show, $1 from every ticket will go to Peer Solutions and support their positive youth leadership and development program designed to prevent harm before it begins and engage lifetime ambassadors of positive change. With predictions of snowfall in November, when Case comes to Dallas, the seasons change for the better. With special guest John Grant. Sunday, Nov. 23, at 8 p.m. at Longhorn Ballroom, 16 Corinth St. Tickets are available starting at $44.64 on Prekindle.

KATSEYE at The Pavilion at Toyota Music Factory

Nov. 30

KATSEYE is a six-member girl group consisting of Sophia Laforteza, Manon Bannerman, Daniela Avanzini, Lara Raj, Megan Skiendiel and Yoonchae Jeung. They’re kind of the first-of-its-kind global girl group centered on the rigorous training methods of the K-pop music industry, putting themselves on the map with major singles “Gnarly” and “Gabriela.” At this year’s VMAs, they won their first-ever Moon Person for Push Performance of the Year for “Touch.” During Thanksgiving weekend, the Beautiful Chaos Tour, named after the EP of the same name, heads to Irving and the EYEKONS will have a night to remember. Sunday, Nov. 30, at 8 p.m. at The Pavilion at Toyota Music Factory, 300 W Las Colinas Blvd., Irving. Tickets are available starting at $500+ on Ticketmaster and SeatGeek.
