AUSTIN, Texas – Longhorn City Limits presented by Hollister keeps the party going on Saturday, September 19, as Sugar Ray headlines the third show of the 2026 Texas Football season on the LBJ Lawn.  The multi-Platinum hitmakers will bring more than three decades of unforgettable songs to the Forty Acres before the Longhorns take on UTSA at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium.  They will be joined by special guest Flight By Nothing.  Admission is FREE for all Longhorn City Limits concerts throughout the season.

Few bands capture the carefree sound and spirit of the late 1990s and early 2000s quite like Sugar Ray.  Co-founded by Mark McGrath and Rodney Sheppard, the band has sold more than 10 million records, scored four Top 10 hits, generated hundreds of millions of streams and entertained millions of fans around the world over a career spanning more than three decades.

Sugar Ray became a household name with the release of the double-Platinum album Floored and its smash hit “Fly” featuring Super Cat.  The band followed with the triple-Platinum 14:59, which reached the Top 20 of the Billboard 200 and delivered a string of signature hits including “Every Morning,” “Someday” and “Falls Apart.” Their success continued with “When It’s Over” and a self-titled album that debuted at No. 6 on the Billboard 200.

Along the way, Sugar Ray has shared the stage with legendary acts including The Rolling Stones, KISS and the Sex Pistols, collaborated with Run-DMC and left an imprint on a new generation of artists, with Post Malone incorporating “Fly” into his hit single “Sugar Wraith”.  More than three decades after forming, Sugar Ray continues to bring its unmistakable blend of pop, rock and feel-good energy to audiences across the country.

“We’re fired up to welcome Sugar Ray to the Forty Acres for Longhorn City Limits,” said Chris Del Conte, Vice President and Lois and Richard Folger Athletics Director. “Their catalog is packed with fan favorites, and we know they’ll bring an incredible energy to the LBJ Lawn to get Longhorn Nation ready for gameday.”

Kicking off LCL on September 19 is indie rock band Flight By Nothing.  Formed outside Dallas in 2016 before relocating to Austin, the five-piece has emerged as one of Texas’ most exciting rising acts, pairing dynamic soundscapes and infectious melodies with an energetic live show. Following an appearance at Hangout Music Festival, the release of their breakout album BACK FOR MORE and extensive touring, Flight By Nothing has continued to build a passionate fanbase while selling out venues across the United States and Canada.

The LBJ Lawn will open at 2 p.m. on September 19 with Flight By Nothing hitting the stage at 3:30 p.m. Sugar Ray is scheduled to take the stage at approximately 5 p.m.
