Live performance by the Canadian indie rock band CMAT at Zilker Park.
CMAT is playing Zilker Park on Friday, October 9, 2026. It's a midday show, starting at 12 PM, so it's one of those rare Austin dates that happens in the broad daylight rather than late at night. The venue is Zilker Park Parking, 2101 Andrew Zilker Rd, right in the heart of the park.
If you've been following her, you know CMAT has built her name on a specific kind of country-pop—big melodies, sharp lyrics, and a sense of humor that doesn't let the sentiment get too heavy. She's an Irish singer-songwriter who leaned into the country sound and made it her own, and this is her taking that to a live stage here in Austin. The bill is straightforward: CMAT is the sole name on the program, so the whole set belongs to her.
Coming to Zilker Park puts the show in a different light than a club date. It's an open-air spot, and starting at noon means you're catching her while the sun is still high over the park. It's the kind of afternoon where you can bring a blanket, settle in, and listen without the usual dark-room, loud-crowd energy of a standard concert. If you've only heard her on record, this is a good chance to hear how those songs translate to a live band and a big open space.
