Hey listeners, kick off your weekend in the Dallas-Fort Worth area with a bang today, Friday the 13th, because we've got thrills, music, and rodeo action lighting up the Stockyards and beyond. Start right here in Fort Worth at Billy Bob's Texas, where Houston rap legend Paul Wall celebrates his birthday bash at 10 p.m. with special guests, bringing his grillz-flashing hits like "Sittin' Sidewayz" to the world's largest honky-tonk—doors open at 6 p.m., and it's 18-plus fun according to the Fort Worth Stockyards event calendar.
Before that, catch the Stockyards Championship Rodeo at 7:30 p.m. in Cowtown Coliseum, followed by a Neon Prophets concert, or head to Tannahill's Tavern for Peter McPoland at 8 p.m. or The Devil Wears Prada's Flowers Tour tomorrow at 7 p.m. Movie buffs, Rooftop Cinema Club Downtown Fort Worth screens the classic slasher Friday the 13th (1980) at 10 p.m. on their rooftop—perfect timing for spooky vibes, as listed on local Patch community events.
Over in Arlington, the Java House Grand Prix revs up today through Sunday on a 2.73-mile track weaving past AT&T Stadium and Globe Life Field, with practice sessions kicking off, live music from All Time Low and T-Pain, per CultureMap Fort Worth.
