Franz Ferdinand

Franz Ferdinand are playing Stubb's Waller Creek Amphitheater on Friday, August 14, 2026. It's a single-act bill, so they're the only name on the poster for the night. The show starts at 7 PM.

If you've followed them from the start, you know the sound they built: danceable indie rock with a sharp, rhythmic edge and a knack for melodies that stick. They've spent the last couple of decades playing their way across the globe, and this is one of those dates that brings them back through Austin. It's a straightforward setup—just the band on stage, no opening act to work through first, so the night revolves entirely around their set.

Since it's a single-bill show, the focus stays on them from start to finish. They'll be drawing from their catalog, and with no other acts on the lineup, they've got the whole evening to work with. If you've seen them before, you know the kind of set they put together—the songs that defined their early years alongside the newer material they've added along the way.

It's a Friday night in mid-August, so the timing is easy to plan around. The show is at Stubb's Waller Creek Amphitheater in Austin, and it kicks off at 7 PM.
