Anxious! At The Disco
Details
If your heart still beats in 4/4 time to the sound of palm-muted guitars and eyeliner-heavy hooks, Anxious! At The Disco is calling your name.
On May 23, 2026 at 8:00 PM, this Austin-based pop-punk/emo cover band storms the stage with a mission: to resurrect the golden age of side bangs, studded belts, and away messages that were just thinly veiled song lyrics. Doors open at 7:00 PM, and it’s an all-ages night of cathartic singalongs and nostalgic chaos.
Billed as “3 years of late nights, loud guitars, and feelings we never learned how to process,” Anxious! At The Disco taps directly into the soundtrack of your mid-2000s life. Think of it as stepping into a living, breathing 2006 MySpace profile—only with better sound, fewer pixelated photos, and way more people shouting every word right along with you.
All the bangers, none of the skips: Expect a carefully curated mix of pop‑punk and emo anthems—the kind of songs that made your old iPod’s “Most Played” list and probably still live rent‑free in your head.
Maximum nostalgia, zero judgment: Whether you’re dusting off your old band tee or discovering this era for the first time, the vibe is pure, dramatic, heart‑on‑sleeve fun.
Sing it (or scream it) out: Big choruses, shout‑along bridges, and plenty of moments to throw your hands up and let your inner teen-doom-poet have a night out.
All ages welcome: Bring your emo friends, your pop‑punk partner, or the next generation you’ve been slowly introducing to “the good stuff.”
This isn’t just a show; it’s a full‑blown feelings revival. If you’ve ever dramatically stared out a car window while blasting a chorus about heartbreak and existential dread, this is your chance to experience that energy live, in a room full of people who absolutely get it.
Throw on some black eyeliner, lace up your Converse, and get ready to scream every lyric like it’s 2006 and your top 8 friendships depend on it. Anxious! At The Disco is here to turn bottled‑up emotions, late‑night memories, and loud guitars into one gloriously cathartic evening.
Venue Details
Austin City Limits Live, home to ACL Live and 3TEN ACL Live, is a vibrant centerpiece of downtown Austin’s music scene, all gathered at 310 W Willie Nelson Blvd. Built on the legacy of the iconic Austin City Limits television show, the venue fuses modern production with the city’s famously laid-back, music-obsessed spirit.
- ACL Live at The Moody Theater is the larger performance hall, known for hosting a wide spectrum of artists, from global touring acts and legendary performers to special events, galas, and festival showcases.
- 3TEN ACL Live is the more intimate sibling space, a 350-person club designed for up-close performances where fans feel like part of the show rather than spectators in the back row.
- Both spaces are equipped with state-of-the-art sound and lighting, reflecting their roots as professional broadcast and recording stages as well as live concert rooms.
- The venue regularly spotlights a mix of world-renowned artists, rising stars, and local Austin talent, making it a go-to spot for discovering new music and catching favorite bands in thoughtfully curated lineups.
- Beyond concerts, the flexible spaces often transform for private events, parties, and special performances, all while maintaining the signature Austin City Limits look and feel.
Together, ACL Live and 3TEN ACL Live offer two distinct ways to experience live music under one roof: big, cinematic nights in the main theater and high-energy, club-like shows in the smaller room. Both capture the essence of Austin as the Live Music Capital of the World, blending intimate connections between artists and audiences with polished, professional production.
