Explosions in the Sky at ATTPAC
Support: Twin Sister
Doors: 8:00pm
Tickets: $25 plus fees
Why Explosions in the Sky deserves your cash: When I first moved to Texas, I jokingly told friends that half the reason I was moving here was to see Explosions in the Sky live. Several years and one rained out performance later, I finally have my chance. Explosions will certainly shine at one of the best venues in town and it still seems like there are a few tickets left.
