Concert featuring Ne-Yo and Akon performing on their Nights Like This Tour at the Moody Center in Austin.
Ne-Yo is coming to the Moody Center on Tuesday, August 11, as part of the Nights Like This Tour 2026. He won't be alone on the bill: Akon is joining him for the run, so the two are sharing the stage rather than one opening for the other. The tour takes its name from Ne-Yo's 2018 single "Nights Like This," and the pairing brings together two names that have been staples of the R&B and pop charts for a long time.
Ne-Yo has spent the better part of two decades moving between smooth R&B and dance-pop, and he's as much known for writing for other artists as for his own records. Akon comes from a similar era, with a career built on a distinct blend of R&B and hip-hop. Seeing them together on one bill means you'll get two separate catalogs in one night, rather than just one artist's set. The Nights Like This tour is the vehicle for that, with both artists appearing on the same program.

The show is set for Tuesday, August 11, at the Moody Center in Austin. It starts at 8 PM, so it's a mid-week date that runs into the evening. If you're planning to be there, keep in mind it's a Tuesday night, not a weekend, so you'll want to work around that. Tickets are available through Live Nation.
