April 1-24
The Music of Fleetwood Mac comes to Fort Worth
Casa Mañana’s Reid Cabaret Theatre will host a live tribute to Fleetwood Mac that is built around the band’s most recognizable songs throughout April. The setlist includes tracks like “Dreams,” “Landslide,” and “Go Your Own Way,” with a focus on the group’s catalog rather than a full narrative production. Fleetwood Mac’s appeal has long come from its mix of layered vocals, personal songwriting, and a sound that moves between soft ballads and more driving rock

David Nail Performs at Tulips FTW
David Nail built his name in country music with a run of late-2000s releases that leaned into emotional, vocal-forward songwriting. Songs like “Red Light” and “Let It Rain” helped establish him as a singer who favors heavier themes over radio polish. In recent years, Nail has moved into more independent releases, putting out projects that reflect a more personal and unfiltered direction while continuing to tour consistently. Catch Nail and his band this month at Tulips FTW.
APRIL 10 and 12
Fort Worth Opera Presents Madama Butterfly
Fort Worth Opera will stage Madama Butterfly, one of Puccini’s most widely performed works, at Bass Performance Hall in mid-April. First premiered in 1904, the opera remains known for its emotional score and tragic storyline centered on a young Japanese woman and her relationship with an American naval officer. The production features full staging with orchestra, following a format that stays true to the original work while making the on-stage performance accessible with English supertitles.
APRIL 24-25
Ubbi Dubbi returns to Fort Worth for a two-day electronic festival at Panther Island Pavilion. The lineup pulls from across the genre, with artists like Alesso, Zedd, Kx5 (Kaskade and deadmau5), and Ganja White Night, alongside a deeper slate of house, techno, and bass acts. The festival has grown into a regular spring stop for touring DJs, built around multiple stages and a full-day schedule rather than individual sets.
