Flogging Molly
September 8, 7 p.m.| House of Blues
After 25 years, many bands slow down, but Celtic-punk group Flogging Molly are now on tour with their new album, Anthem.

Lainey Wilson
September 8, 10 p.m.| Billy Bob’s Texas, Fort Worth
Lainey Wilson tried out at least a half dozen times for American Idol, but it was 2020’s “Things a Man Oughta Know” that put her on the map. Nowadays she can boast a star turn on Yellowstone and her sophomore album Bell Bottom Country, which hit the top 10 on the Billboard Country charts and helped her earn an Entertainer of the Year nod at the upcoming CMA Awards (along with nominations for Single of the Year, Album of the Year, Song of the Year, Female Vocalist of the Year, and Musical Event of the Year). Her show at Billy Bob’s Texas has been sold out for a good long while, but it looks like you can find tickets on the resale market. Get tickets (maybe)

5 Seconds of Summer
September 10, 8 p.m.| Toyota Music Factory, Irving
