2026 is coming in screaming at this neighborhood duo’s unofficial Free Week(end). If Red River moving Free Week to the second weekend of January messed up your calendar, these North-Central gems have you covered with three nights of no-cost shows. Hardcore act Drip Fed and metal trio Banged Out take the Ballroom stage Thursday, followed by San Antonio bands Funeral Service and Fatal Fatigue on Friday, and showings from pop-rock outfits Team Trust and Pelvis Wrestley on Saturday. Multi-instrumentalist Bill Baird and left-of-the-dial supergroup Broken Gold cap the proceedings next door. – Caroline Drew
