September 2 • The Pavilion at Toyota Music Factory • Irving
Malcolm Todd arrives in Irving just as “Earrings” continues building at pop radio. His mix of alternative pop, R&B and laid-back songwriting has turned him into one of the more interesting younger artists breaking through in 2026.
The Do That Again Tour stops at The Pavilion at Toyota Music Factory on September 2, with an 8 p.m. show time.
Brandi Carlile brings The Human Tour to Fort Worth with The Head and the Heart.
Carlile’s live shows have earned a reputation for huge vocals, emotional storytelling and a catalog that moves between folk, rock, Americana and pop. Dickies Arena lists the September 5 show for 7 p.m.
September 6 • The Pavilion at Toyota Music Factory • Irving
Myles Smith has become one of pop’s biggest crossover discoveries, with songs like “Stargazing” giving him an audience far beyond the singer-songwriter world.
His September 6 Irving stop also features GoldFord, with the show scheduled for 8 p.m.
Tame Impala with Dominic Fike
September 17 • American Airlines Center • Dallas
This may be one of September’s strongest pairings.
Tame Impala brings its psychedelic pop production to American Airlines Center with Dominic Fike, whose “Babydoll” has been climbing at pop radio throughout the summer.
The show starts at 7 p.m., with doors scheduled for 5:30 p.m.
The Australian electronic-pop duo is known for elaborate costumes, theatrical visuals and songs including “Walking on a Dream.” Their Afterlife North American Tour lands at Dos Equis Pavilion on September 20 at 7:30 p.m.
September 19 & 20 • American Airlines Center • Dallas
J. Cole takes over American Airlines Center for back-to-back nights on September 19 and 20.
The Fall-Off Tour puts one of hip-hop’s most respected artists back on the arena stage, with both Dallas performances scheduled for 8 p.m. and doors opening at 6:30.
September 26 & 27 • American Airlines Center • Dallas
Rod Wave also gets a two-night Dallas run later in the month.
Known for mixing hip-hop with emotionally heavy R&B melodies, he’ll perform at American Airlines Center on September 26 and 27. Both shows are listed for 8 p.m.
Billy Idol returns to Dallas with another night of ’80s rock classics.
The September 18 concert begins at 7:30 p.m. at Dos Equis Pavilion.
MORE SEPTEMBER SHOWS WORTH KNOWING ABOUT
September’s calendar goes well beyond the headliners above.
The Pavilion at Toyota Music Factory also has NEEDTOBREATHE on September 9, Jimmy Eat World celebrating 25 years of Bleed American on September 10, Ken Carson on September 16 and Chief Keef on September 20.
Dickies Arena continues its month with Chayanne on September 24, “Weird Al” Yankovic on September 25, Phil Wickham on September 26 and Five Finger Death Punch on September 30.
American Airlines Center also welcomes Thomas Rhett on September 18 before the back-to-back J. Cole shows.
If we’re picking one September show that fits B96 particularly well, Tame Impala with Dominic Fike gets the nod.
Both artists are sitting right in the middle of the current pop conversation, and putting them together at American Airlines Center makes this one of those lineups where the opener feels nearly as important as the headliner.
