Franz Ferdinand live in Austin

Experience Franz Ferdinand live on August 14th

Franz Ferdinand is scheduled to perform at Stubb’s Waller Creek Amphitheater in Austin, Texas on August 14, 2026. The band is known for its distinctive post-punk revival sound, characterized by angular guitar riffs, driving rhythms, and Alex Kapranos’s often spoken-word vocal delivery. Emerging from Glasgow in the early 2000s, they gained prominence with their self-titled debut album in 2004, achieving international success with singles like “Take Me Out” and “Do You Want To”. Their music blends art rock sensibilities with danceable energy and influences from new wave and glam rock.

Stubb’s Waller Creek Amphitheater holds a significant place in Austin's live music scene. Originally founded as a barbecue restaurant in 1985 by C.B. Stubbings, it gradually incorporated live music performances. The venue transitioned into a dedicated music space following a move in 1996 and has since hosted a diverse range of national and international acts across genres including rock, country, blues and hip-hop.
