    Film fans can expect a horde of film-related things popping off this weekend.

    The first Houston Horror Film Fest will be happening at Houston Marriott South. Pride 2021, Houston Cinema Arts Society and Goethe Pop Up Houston will present a backyard screening of the 1989 German film Coming Out. At 14 Pews, there will be Bunny Lady's Crash Film Series on Friday and the Houston Underwater Film Festival on Saturday and Sunday.

    And remember when we hollered at one of the filmmakers of the movie Drunk Bus last month? They will be having a Sunday-night screening of the movie at Moonstruck Drive-In, followed by a Q & A.

    Don Toliver will perform at the Toyota Center on Thursday, May 14.

    Houston-born rapper Don Toliver is coming home for his second major concert of the year. Following a sold-out show in Houston in May, the Grammy-nominated artist will return to the Toyota Center on Tuesday, August 11.

    Nitrous — the second leg of the Octane World Tour — will begin its 19-city run in Sacramento, California on August 4 and end its North American run in Brooklyn, New York on September 6. The tour will pick back up at the end of October for another 18 dates spread across Europe and the United Kingdom.

    In addition to a show in his hometown of Houston, Toliver will visit Austin on August 9 and Dallas on August 13.

    The sold-out first leg of the Octane tour, in support of Toliver's fifth studio album of the same name, featured performances with high-profile stars such as Travis Scott, SZA, Peso Pluma, Malcolm Todd, and Sheck Wes. Octane has surpassed 1 billion streams on Spotify and is now the most-streamed hip-hop album of 2026, and his singles "E85" and "Body" are the top two streaming hip-hop songs of the year.

    Tickets will be available beginning with the Don's Garage VIP Presale on Wednesday, June 24 at 10 am.

    Additional presales will run throughout the week ahead of the general on-sale beginning on Friday, June 26 at 12 pm at LiveNation.com.
