DALLAS — Weekend... is that you?! We're more than halfway through August, and I don't mean to brag, but this weekend's temps are really nice. You can check that here, but I know you're really here for the 72 events I have lined up for you. Let's get into it.
Friday
Kick your weekend off with a night full of whimsical folk rock with The Lumineers! They're bringing the "Brightside" tour to the American Airlines Center in Dallas on Friday night. You can get a pretty decent ticket right now for around $100, but if you want to get in the pit, expect to shell out about $400. The show is set to kick off at 7:30 p.m.
