Longhorn Ballroom will be hosting Punks and Pokes, set to be an annual community event inspired by the iconic Sex Pistols — Merle Haggard marquee.
The show will be held on Saturday, February 1, and will celebrate the musical diversity of the Longhorn’s history while raising awareness and funds for relevant charities. To help kick-off the inaugural event, Longhorn Ballroom will host two beloved (and contrasting) North Texas bands, Bowling For Soup and for one night only a special reunion of Eleven Hundred Springs.
Proceeds from the night will benefit Music Health Alliance (connecting musicians with healthcare), Cafe Momentum (serving at-risk teens in Dallas), and the Southern Gateway Park Foundation (coming to South Dallas).
Hall of Fame Texas Rangers broadcaster, Eric Nadel, will be the emcee for the night. Longhorn Ballroom will be telling the stories of its past in fun ways while supporting these organizations and celebrating the future.
Tickets are on sale now.
