Texas country music star holds free concert in Austin Aug. 23 — here’s how to attend

Country music singer and native Texan Miranda Lambert is bringing the honky tonk to Austin, Texas. Better yet, you’re invited to attend the free show!

To gear up for the release of her 10th studio album, “Postcards from Texas,” Lambert is hosting a free pop-up concert at Stubb’s, 801 Red River St., Austin, on Friday, Aug. 23. Having recorded the album, which serves as her label debut with Republic Records, at the iconic Arlyn Studios in Austin, it makes all the more sense for Lambert to host a pre-release party in the Capital City.

If you’re hoping to attend the show, you’ll first need to secure a wristband. To try your hand at snagging one for Lambert’s free concert, you can swing by the box office at Stubb’s starting at noon on Friday. Wristbands will be given out on a first-come, first-served basis, and there is a limit of one wristband per person.

Once all the wristbands have been handed out, there will be no additional wristbands distributed, and no one will be allowed entry at Stubb’s without a wristband. Doors for the show open at 5 p.m. on Friday, and the concert will start at 6 p.m.

“Postcards from Texas” is due Friday, Sept. 13.

Speaking in a press release about the third single from the album, “Alimony,” which details a failing marriage in Lambert’s wink-and-nudge style, the Texan said, “My parents were private investigators in Dallas, Texas who worked a ton of divorce cases in highfalutin parts of town, so this wasn’t hard to write. I’d heard about it my whole life.”
