Texas blues rock and soul concert by Paul Val with Nicky Diamonds at the iconic Antone's Nightclub.
Paul Val plays Antone's Nightclub on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, with Nicky Diamonds opening. It's a Texas blues rock and soul night in downtown Austin, and the bill is straightforward: Val headlines, Diamonds sets the stage.
Antone's is a name that carries its own weight here. Opened in 1975 by Clifford Antone, it's known as the 'Home of the Blues' and has hosted a long line of legends, from B.B. King to Stevie Ray Vaughan. The club holds 750 people and is spread across two stories, which keeps things close even when the room fills up. It's a spot that's seen a lot of blues pass through its doors over the decades, and Val fits right into that lineage.
If you're planning to go, there are a few things to keep in mind about how the night works. It's 21 and up, so bring your ID. Entry is general admission standing room, and there's limited seating available on a first-come, first-served basis—if you're the kind of person who prefers a chair over standing the whole set, you'll want to get there early.
