Buckethead
Details
Buckethead is bringing his mind-bending guitar wizardry to Austin for one unforgettable night. On June 13th, 2026 at 7:30 pm, the famously masked, KFC-bucket-wearing virtuoso takes over Emo's for an evening of rapid-fire shredding, experimental soundscapes, and the kind of genre-bending performance you have to see to believe.
Known for his lightning-speed solos, wildly imaginative stage persona, and hundreds of studio albums, Buckethead has built a reputation as one of the most unique and technically gifted guitarists on the planet. One moment you’re in a blistering metal riff, the next you’re floating through cinematic, almost sci-fi melodies—and somehow, it all fits.
- Event: An Evening with Buckethead
- Date: Saturday, June 13, 2026
- Time: 7:30 pm (all-ages show)

This is a solo performance, which means you’ll get pure, unfiltered Buckethead: extended jams, wild improvisation, and deep cuts for longtime fans. Whether you know him from his work with Guns N’ Roses, movie soundtracks, or his cult-favorite solo albums, seeing him live is a whole different experience.
If you’re into virtuosic guitar, experimental rock, or just love witnessing something you won’t see anywhere else, this show belongs on your calendar. Snag tickets early—Buckethead’s legend status and one-of-a-kind live show tend to draw devoted fans who know this is not your average concert.
