    The weekend is officially upon us and, judging by the dysfunctional weather we've had this week, it looks like we're gonna have some sunny, windy, sleety, freezing, sweltering days ahead. For indoor fun, head over to the Galleria on Saturday and Sunday where, to promote the upcoming sequel to The Lego Movie, there will be a Lego Mini-Room. Yes, parents and children can hang at this colorfully blocked area and pretend they're chilling with Lego Batman.

    Here are some more fun options to stack your weekend.

    Thursday, January 24

    An Exchange of Noiz at Sound Exchange
    Famed record store Sound Exchange has officially moved from its Montrose location to its new home in the East End. And they have several events planned in the next few weeks to bring in new and old customers, including DJ nights, listening parties, and a show on February 2 featuring metal bands Malignant Altar and Dirty Money. But things will kick off on Thursday with An Exchange of Noiz, a bi-monthly series of live performances dedicated to ambient, noise, electronic, and generally weird music. 7:30 pm.

    Chippendales: Let's Misbehave Tour 2019 at House of Blues
    Where are all my ladies at? How would like to see some buff, chiseled, Magic Mike-looking men taking off their clothes and shaking what their mommas gave 'em? Well, you girls are definitely in luck. The legendary Chippendales crew will be making a stop in Houston this weekend. Known for its male striptease performances and its dancers' distinctive, upper-body costume of a bow tie, collar, and shirt cuffs worn on an otherwise bare torso, this troupe will be in town, looking for lovely, lonely ladies to straddle. 8 pm.

    Friday, January 25

    CNCO at Smart Financial Centre
    How many of y'all know about the Grammy-nominated pop sensation CNCO? Comprised of five Latino boys: Christopher (Ecuador), ErickBrian (Cuba), Joel (Mexico), Richard (Dominican Republic) and Zabdiel (Puerto Rico), this group formed three years ago from Univision's musical competition La Banda, executive produced by Simon Cowell and Ricky Martin. They're currently on their first headlining, North American tour, promoting their sophomore, self-titled album. 8 pm.

    A Fistful of Soul at The Continental Club
    After doing their last monthly show several months ago, the retro-R&B DJs of A Fistful of Soul is back at the Continental Club, ready to start up the first of their periodic funk/soul/dance parties. Archie Bell of Archie Bell & the Drells is scheduled to be there and make sure everything is tightened up. And if you can't attend the main event, there will also be an after-party/record swap Saturday afternoon at Insomnia Gallery. This just proves you can't keep a good party down. 10 pm-2 am.

    Saturday, January 26

    Miss Texas Early Draft Preview at Alley Theatre
    After years of turning in stellar, investigative work in books and such magazines as The New Yorker, Rolling Stone, and Texas Monthly, Pulitzer Prize-winning author/journalist Lawrence Wright has been writing for the stage as of late. His historical drama Cleo premiered last year at Alley Theatre. And, now, he's been working on a new production, Miss Texas, a new musical about Texas politics, which will have a dry run of sorts at — once again — Alley Theatre. 4:30 pm.

    LAUNCH Fashion Show at Discovery Green
    Downtown pop-up boutique LAUNCH will collaborate with Discovery Green to host its first fashion show featuring local designers. Free and open to the public, this celebration of style will give more than 40 Houston-based apparel and accessories designers the opportunity to showcase their talents on the runway. Designer Chloe Dao, winner of Project Runway's second season, will headline the show, which will also include Of Myth & Muse, Marilyn Biles, Magpies & Peacocks, and Kimono Zulu, among others. 5-8 pm.

    Buffalo Bayou Brewing Company 7th Anniversary Party
    The Buffalo Bayou Brewing Company has given Houstonians some great beers over the years: Crush City IPA, Great White Buffalo, Smoke on the Bayou and, our personal favorite, the double IPA More Cowbell — just to name a few. Now, come celebrate the ale factory's seventh anniversary with a whopper of a party. Paid guests will receive a custom, commemorative, anniversary tulip glass, as well as access to 40 one-off, varietal, core, and brewery-only beers. 6 pm.

    Sunday, January 27

    Pon di Beat at Dance House Fitness
    There is this fitness outfit named Pon di Beat that is out to bring "the best of dancehall and Afrobeat dance and dance fitness to Texas." It'll be doing this by flying in instructors from New York and Los Angeles to teach beginner-friendly classes. This weekend, Joe Brown, who was a choreographer for Beyonce's Coachella performance and has done moves for So You Think You Can Dance?, will be a doing a 90-minute step/stroll class (with a Caribbean vibe) in studios in Houston. 1:30-3 pm.

    No Date, No Signature at Asia Texas Society Center
    Screening as part of this year's Houston Iranian Film Festival, No Date, No Signature is the story of a forensic pathologist who faces a moral dilemma after getting in a car accident with another family. The Iranian entry for Best Language Film at this year's Oscars (it wasn't nominated), this soberly made piece of melodramatic neo-realism features just-trying-to-live characters who are forced to make decisions in a world where doing the right thing is a luxury that cannot be afforded. It's also a great film. 2 pm.

    Porrón Pouring Competition and Basque-inspired BBQ at Camerata
    In case you've forgotten, Texas Txotx, a celebration of cider and Basque beverages of El País Vasco, is still going on in Houston. On Sunday, Camerata will host Michelle Wallace of Gatlin’s BBQ, who will be serving Basque-inspired barbecue, and Álvaro de la Viña of Selections de la Viña, who will be pouring his imported vino natural. Later, there will be the annual Porrón Pouring Competition, where three celebrity judges will gauge contestants for creativity and skill of their porrón pour. 4 pm.

    Jack Johnson rides into Houston on surf-themed 2026 tour

    Jack Johnson will play at Dos Equis Pavilion in Dallas on August 30, 2026.

    Singer-songwriter Jack Johnson, known his for laidback surf-rock music, will embark on the SURFILMUSIC Tour in 2026, which will include a stop at the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion in The Woodlands on Friday, August 28.

    The expansive 43-date North American tour, which starts on June 19 in Gilford, New Hampshire, will have three separate legs.

    The three Texas dates — The Woodlands on August 28, Austin on August 29, and Dallas on August 30 — will be part of the second leg, where Johnson will be joined by Lake Street Dive.

    The tour is Johnson’s first since 2022 and will celebrate a new era of music, film, and environmental connection rooted in his 20+ year career.

    Johnson is touring in support of a forthcoming soundtrack, scored by Johnson and Hermanos Gutiérrez for a new documentary, SURFILMUSIC, that chronicles Johnson’s evolution from surfer to filmmaker to musician.

    The film, which will be released in 2026, weaves through the making of his iconic surf films Thicker Than Water (1999) and The September Sessions (2000), which paved the way for his music career.

    It celebrates the lifelong friendships and ocean-driven community that shaped Johnson’s path, and features many of the surfers who appeared in the original films, including Kelly Slater, Rob Machado, and the Malloy Brothers.

    Johnson released his first album, Brushfire Fairytales, in 2001, and he has gone on to put out eight other albums, most recently Meet the Moonlight in 2022.

    Fans can register for the Jack Johnson presale at jackjohnsonmusic.com, now through Sunday, November 9. The presale begins Monday, November 10, 2025 at 10 am local time and runs through general on-sale date of Friday, November 14.
