Julian Lage

Julian Lage plays the Moody Center on Saturday, September 26, 2026. It's a single-bill night with Lage as the sole feature, so the whole evening is built around his guitar. He's one of the few names in jazz who can carry a room that size on his own, and this is a headlining date in Austin rather than a festival slot or a shared bill.

If you've followed his work, you know the sound. He's a guitarist who can lean into the tradition of jazz while pulling in a lot of other influences—folk, Americana, and a certain kind of melodic openness that doesn't always stay inside the lines. He's spent years moving between different formats, from small-group settings to larger ensembles, and this show puts him center stage. The program is just Julian Lage, so the focus is on his playing and the music he's bringing to the table.

It's a Saturday night in Austin, and the Moody Center is a big room, which gives the show a different feel than the smaller clubs he often plays. Coming in on a weekend, it's an easy one to build a night around. The set starts at 5:30 PM, which is early for a Saturday concert—you'll be out well before the late-night crowd is even getting started, leaving plenty of the evening left after the music wraps.

So, the details: Julian Lage at the Moody Center on Saturday, September 26, 2026, starting at 5:30 PM.
