June opens with Belle and Sebastian at the Moody and baseball on Disch-Falk.

May goes out on a Sunday the way it should: a few things worth being out for, and enough quiet to get ready for what follows. ILLfest wraps its third and final day at the Travis County Expo Center this afternoon, the ATX Television Festival closes at the Paramount, and by tomorrow the calendar turns to June. Belle and Sebastian run back-to-back nights at ACL Live, NCAA Baseball Regionals open at Disch-Falk, and Pride Month officially starts citywide. A few of the spots that opened quietly in May are also finally worth a visit now that the holiday weekend crowds have thinned.

The marquee

• Mon June 1 and Tue June 2, doors 7 PM · From $45
  Belle and Sebastian, two nights at ACL Live
  ACL Live at the Moody Theater
  Belle and Sebastian's first Austin run in several years, and they booked back-to-back nights at ACL Live, which is the right room for them. The Moody's sound is built for orchestral pop. Monday is the move if you can only do one; Tuesday tends to have the tighter set list. Both nights are still available.
• Mon June 1 thru Wed June 3 · From $10
  NCAA Baseball Regionals at Disch-Falk
  UFCU Disch-Falk Field, UT Austin
  The Longhorns host a regional, which means three days of college baseball in one of the better small stadiums in the country. Disch-Falk holds about 7,500, the sightlines are clean, and afternoon games Tuesday tend to have the most open seating. Parking on Red River is easier than it looks from the outside.
• June 1 onward, parade June 14 · Varies
  Pride Month, the full run begins
  Citywide
  The parade route is set for June 14, Pride weekend proper runs the 14th and 15th, but the month starts Monday with bar programming, gallery shows, and events across the east side and downtown. Worth pulling the full calendar if you plan to do more than the parade.

From the archive

June is pool month, and we ranked the four city pools by line length, water clarity, and walk-up parking odds. Deep Eddy is the obvious call, but Bartholomew on the east side stays less crowded through the week and the lap lanes are open most mornings. Bookmark it for the next four months.

ATX Weekly tip

For the Belle and Sebastian shows: ACL Live's loge fills from the back, so if you bought loge seats, arrive 20 minutes before doors and position yourself at the rail. The GA floor is the better call for a band this size anyway, and there are usually tickets at face value day-of. Rideshare pickup on West Fifth is cleaner than the main entrance after the show.

May closes tonight on Decker Lane. June opens tomorrow at the Moody. We'll be back next Sunday with the June 7 issue, Blues on the Green week, and whatever else the calendar throws between now and then. — The ATX Weekly Editors
