Concert by electronic dance music producer Tropidelic at Emo's Austin.
Tropidelic are playing Emo's on Friday, August 14, with the show starting at 7 PM. They're the only act on the bill, so the whole night belongs to them.
If you've never caught them live, it's a good place to start. They've built their name around a sound that pulls from a few different directions at once—reggae, funk, and hip-hop—and they blend them into a single set rather than treating them as separate sections. It's the kind of music that works as well for dancing as it does for just hanging out, and that's a big part of why they've become a regular draw for crowds that don't usually stick to one genre.
They're touring with the Movement Visions Tour 2026, and this Austin date is one of the stops. The tour name gives you a fair idea of what they're after: the movement is the dance floor, and the visions are the songs they've been playing out on the road. It's a straightforward headline show, no opening act to work through first, so the music starts as soon as the night gets going.

Emo's is right in the heart of Austin, and with a 7 PM start, it's an early enough show that you can still make a night of it afterward. If you're planning to be there, keep in mind it's a Friday in August, so it'll be a warm one. Tropidelic takes the stage at 7 PM on Friday, August 14, at Emo's.
