Wade Bowen

Wade Bowen plays ACL Live at The Moody Theater on Thursday, September 10, 2026. He's the only name on the bill, so it's a full night of his music rather than a shared stage.

Bowen is a Texas country and Red Dirt singer-songwriter, and that's exactly where this show sits. If you're not familiar with the terms, Red Dirt is the brand of country that grew out of the Oklahoma and Texas dancehall circuit—songs written for the dance floor and the jukebox, with a bit more grit than what you'll hear on the radio. Bowen has spent his career in that world, and this is a headlining date in the heart of Austin.

The venue is ACL Live at The Moody Theater on Willie Nelson Blvd, right in the middle of the city. It's a proper theater, so you'll have a seat and a clear view of the stage. The show starts at 8:30 PM on a Thursday night, which means you'll be home in time for a normal Friday morning, rather than spending the whole next day recovering from a late-night run.

If you've followed Bowen's work, you know the sound: Texas country with a Red Dirt edge. If you haven't, this is a good place to start. It's a single-artist bill, so the whole set is his. The show is on Thursday, September 10, 2026, at 8:30 PM at ACL Live at The Moody Theater on Willie Nelson Blvd in Austin.
