Don’t let the weather fool you. It’s November.
And that means a good many things are on the horizon — colder weather (hopefully), discounted Halloween candy, music festivals, our anniversary show and music, music, music. Here’s a look at the concerts happening in North Texas this month that you don’t want to miss:
Adele

Joni. JONI. Do we really need to say more? Fine. Here goes. The Kessler is paying birthday tribute to the one and only Joni Mitchell on November 7! The evening will feature a smorgasbord of Texas-based musicians including singer-songwriters, jazz musicians and more. Again — JONI!
Flock of Dimes
Fri, Nov. 11
Three Links
Tickets available here.
Hey, speaking of awesome, cool women we love…Wye Oak’s Jenn Wasner is striking out on her own with her solo project Flock of Dimes. If You See Me, Say Yes, the solo debut album under that moniker, started out as a handful of singles in 2012, and has since expanded into a lush, electro-pop dream of an album. Consider us “Team Jenn.”
Loretta Lynn
Fri, Nov. 11
Majestic Theatre
Tickets available here.
K. We’re not done with that whole “women we love” theme because The Queen of Country Music herself is coming to Dallas. In her 50+ years in the biz, Loretta Lynn has managed to rack up four Grammy Awards, a Lifetime Achievement Award, Kennedy Center Honors, a Presidential Medal of Freedom and — oh yeah — sold over 45 million records worldwide. Just to name a few. All hail, The Queen.
Untapped Dallas
Sat, Nov. 12
Fair Park in Dallas
Tickets available here.
It’s hard to beat the heavenly combination of crisp fall air, live music and cold and tasty vittles. As such, we’re stoked that Untapped is headed back to Dallas on November 12 with a musical lineup as impressive as what’s on tap. TV on the Radio is set to perform, plus Gogol Bordello, Kaleo, Bishop Briggs, Adia Victoria, Bassh and more.

Los Angeles’ Warpaint is back with Heads Up, their first record after the bandmates took two years to work on independent projects. And thank the music gods for that, because this hypnotic, ethereal album is all sorts of crazy good. Don’t miss Warpaint in Deep Ellum on November 18.
The 1975
Fri, Nov. 25
South Side Ballroom
SOLD OUT.
Manchester quartet The 1975 made a mighty return this year with what is possible our favorite album title of 2016: I Like It When You Sleep For You Are So Beautiful Yet So Unaware Of It. They’re bringing their glam-synth sound to South Side Ballroom on November 25. Sadly, this one’s sold out, but it’s possible your favorite radio station might be able to hook you up with a ticket giveaway in the coming weeks. Possibly. Standby.
