NoName is celebrating the 10th anniversary<\/a> of her breakthrough album, \u201cTelefone.\u201d Released in 2012, the debut project introduced NoName to what has since become a devoted fan base as she has grown into adulthood along with them. Featuring fan-favorites \u201cDiddy Bop,\u201d \u201cShadow Man\u201d and \u201cYesterday,\u201d the debut centers on Black pain, particularly Black womens\u2019 journey through it.\u00a0In a time where nostalgia concerts are in high-demand, and NoName fans patiently awaiting for new material, the show is likely to be an unforgettable one.\u00a0<\/p>\n

August 11: BabyChiefDoIt at Puzzles
The Chicago rapper\u2019s new album, \u201cRise Against My Broken Odds,\u201d has made him one of the hottest new acts of 2026, thanks to the viral songs \u201cLaugh Now, Cry Later\u201d and \u201cGhetto Love Story.\u201d Known for his Chicago drill sound, expect BabyChiefDolt to get rowdy for the RAMBO Tour stop in Deep Ellum<\/a>. We\u2019re bold enough to declare the pint-sized rap star as a leader of the next generation of Chicago hip-hop.<\/p>\n

August 13: Nine Vicious at The Echo Lounge & Music Hall
Young Thug\u2019s most promising protege is embarking on an international tour<\/a> in support his \u201cEmotions\u201d album, and his recent shows seem to be scoring rave reviews.

If you\u2019re the type likes to rage, this might make your list of best shows of the year.<\/p>\n

August 13: Don Toliver at American Airlines Center
Don Toliver is spinning the block as his Nitrous: New World Tour returns to Dallas<\/a>. In support of his latest album, \u201cOctane,\u201d the return proves that this show is worth a second look, and you better not waste the opportunity. Last June, Toliver gave an audience at the same venue an experience that is still being talked about.

August 20: Jacquees & K Camp at South Side Ballroom
Jacquees and K Camp\u2019s signature renditions of Atlanta R&B have established undeniable influence in the genre. At South Side Ballroom, the duo will co-headline the Us Over Dem Tour<\/a>, blending Jacquees\u2019 powerful vocals with remixed love songs and K Camp\u2019s raunchy, sex-playlist cuts. If you were lucky enough to catch BigXthaPlug\u2019s hometown birthday bash in May at Dos Equis Pavilion, you already know K Camp will turn the party.<\/p>\n

August 22: Rick Ross at Winspear Opera House\u00a0
Rick Ross is celebrating the 20th anniversary of Port of Miami at possibly the most unexpected venue in the city<\/a>, and with an orchestra. His 2006 debut record trials the rise of the Miami rap star through thrilling, street-influenced storytelling. We\u2019re particularly excited to hear orchestral re-workings of Rozay hits like \u201cHustlin\u2019,\u201d \u201cPush It\u201d and \u201cI\u2019m Bad.\u201d The event suggests tuxedos and gowns \u2014 he is \u201cThe Bawse,\u201d after all.<\/p>\n

August 27: Lil\u2019 Wayne at Dickies Arena
Lil Wayne\u2019s \u201cTha Carter\u201d album trilogy transformed him into widely being considered the best rapper alive. So, as he celebrates 20 years of greatness, we expect Weezy F. Baby will roll into Fort Worth<\/a> to show us exactly why he holds that legacy. \u201cTha Carter\u201d album introduced the fireman, \u201cTha Carter 2\u201d was his best work ever, and \u201cTha Carter 3\u201d made him legendary. In Fort Worth, generations of Wayne fans will be jumping so hard to cuts like \u201cA Milli,\u201d \u201cGo DJ,\u201d \u201cLollipop,\u201d \u201c6-Foot-7-Foot\u201d and \u201cGot Money\u201d that we\u2019ll probably feel it from here in Dallas.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

August 31: Bryson Tiller at Dos Equis Pavilion
Bryson Tiller\u2019s debut album, 2015\u2019s \u201cTrapsoul,\u201d is one of the best R&B albums of its generation. Now, as the NEO Trapsoul Tour heads to South Dallas<\/a>, we\u2019re not ashamed to admit we\u2019re hyped for the nostalgia that comes with celebrating an album that changed R&B music forever. You can expect some big surprises from the Kentucky native as he performs mega hits from the era, such as \u201cDon\u2019t,\u201d \u201cExchange\u201d and \u201cRambo.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The summer tour season is known for bringing some of the year\u2019s best shows to town.
