    Weekend Event Planner

    Garth Brooks, Kathy Griffin and Pride Parade top the best weekend events in Houston

    Alex Bentley
    Jun 24, 2015 | 4:15 pm

    Apologies should go out to all the smaller events in Houston this weekend, as the big events are definitely taking center stage. Five of the six following events could arguably be considered huge depending on your level of fandom, especially the return of one of country music's biggest superstars.

    Below are the best options for your precious free time Thursday through Sunday. Don't like what you see? Lucky for you, we have a much longer list of the city's best events.

    Thursday, June 25

    The Ensemble Theatre presents Trav'lin: The 1930s Harlem Musical
    The 2014-2015 Ensemble Theatre season finale is a trip back in time to the 1930s when Harlem Renaissance composer J. C. Johnson, who worked with the likes of Billie Holliday and Louie Armstrong, was at his peak. The humorous, heartwarming love story of three different couples is backed by Johnson's jazzy score. The musical will run through July 26.

    Wait, Wait ... Don't Tell Me!
    Tickets for this traveling edition of NPR's popular comedy news show sold out long ago, but it's worth scouring the secondary market to catch the live program. Host Peter Sagal and scorekeeper/announcer Bill Curtis will be joined at Jones Hall by three funny panelists to joke about this week's news. Expect to hear about Kim Kardashian, too.

    Friday, June 26

    2015 Vans Warped Tour
    The annual Vans Warped Tour, which comes to NRG Center on Friday, is a monster of a rock festival, featuring around 60 bands on nine different stages. Among the bands performing will be Pierce the Veil, Lee Corey Oswald, The Wonder Years, Boymeetsworld, New Years Day, We Came As Romans and many more.

    Garth Brooks in concert with Trisha Yearwood
    The 17-year-long wait is over, as Garth Brooks — not to mention his wife, Trisha Yearwood — will finally return to Houston for the first of eight concerts in four days spread out over the course of a week. Thousands will pack Toyota Center to watch Brooks sing songs from his new album, Man Against Machine, as well as hits from throughout his illustrious career.

    Saturday, June 27

    Pride Houston presents The Official Houston LGBT Pride Celebration
    Houston Pride Week culminates with the Houston LGBT Pride Celebration featuring a day-long festival and a nighttime parade, that, in a controversial move, has relocated to downtown Houston from Montrose. With the Supreme Court expecting to rule on legality of same sex marriages any day now, could there be extra reason to celebrate this weekend? If so, expect this event to be one of the biggest in Houston's history.

    Sunday, June 28

    Kathy Griffin in concert
    Although Kathy Griffin is not technically part of Houston Pride Week, she might as well be. Griffin has long been an LGBT ally, whether it was in her stand-up act, on her reality show My Life on the D List or as co-host of CNN's New Year's Eve festivities with Anderson Cooper. Griffin will perform her reliably entertaining comedy at Bayou Music Center.

    Pierce the Veil will be among the 60 bands on nine stages at the Vans Warped Tour, taking place at NRG Center on July 26.

    Conan Gray will play at Dickies Arena on March 10, 2026.

    Singer-songwriter Conan Gray will follow up his 2025 Wishbone Pajama Show Tour with the Wishbone World Tour in 2026, which will include a stop at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth on Tuesday, March 10.

    The limited, 19-city 2025 tour will be more than doubled by the 42-city global run, which kicks off on February 19 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. In addition to Fort Worth, Gray will play in Houston on March 11.

    The tour starts in North America before heading to Europe, the UK, Australia, and New Zealand, with dates scheduled over the course of eight months, ending October 8. He will be joined by special guest Esha Tewari on all dates.

    Gray is touring in support of his fourth studio album, Wishbone, which debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Album Sales chart and No. 3 on the Billboard 200 when it came out on August 15, marking the highest chart debut and biggest sales week of his career.

    The singer, who spent his teenage years in Georgetown, Texas, has maintained a steady popularity despite only one of his songs - "Heather" in 2020 — making onto the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

    Fans can participate in the artist presale by signing up at conangray.lnk.to/tour through October 21. The presale begins on October 23; no codes are needed and anyone who signs up can join the sale.

    The general onsale will begin on Friday, October 24 at 9 am local time.
