The FREE concert series on the LBJ Lawn prior to Texas Football games returns for season opener against Louisiana.
Austin, Texas – Austin's own Shakey Graves will headline Longhorn City Limits prior to Texas Football's season opener versus Louisiana on September 4. LCL, the acclaimed concert series, returns for its third year on the LBJ Lawn, located on the northeast corner of DKR-Texas Memorial Stadium, with FREE pregame and postgame activities. All concerts are FREE and open to the public.
"Home is where the Horns are," said Vice President and Director for Athletics Chris Del Conte. "And what better way to celebrate the return of Longhorn City Limits than by having Shakey Graves, one of Austin's most acclaimed artists, take the stage on September 4. I can't wait to see Longhorn Nation back on the LBJ Lawn for what is set to be the return of an incredible Texas Football gameday experience."
Austin-native Alejandro Rose-Garcia, known as Shakey Graves, has been wowing audiences with his live performances since earning his stage name at Old Settler's Music Festival in 2007. Infusing blues, folk, and rock, Graves often takes the stage with a one-man band approach. His 2011 debut album "Roll The Bones" recently celebrated its 10th anniversary with a re-release. In 2015, Graves was named the Best Emerging Artist at the Americana Music Awards. His sold-out shows at Stubb's in June 2021 celebrated the return of live music after a long hiatus. His singles "Tomorrow," "Dearly Departed," and "Roll The Bones" along with his newest single, "Cheers" combine for over 185 million streams on Spotify.
A support act will be announced at a later date.
The fan-favorite silent disco returns to Longhorn City Limits following the game. Featuring three live DJs, participating fans receive a pair of wireless headphones and the ability to choose between three different channels.
