Make Music Waco Day, Woofstock 2025, and HOT Pro Wrestling: Sunday Night’s Ultra Slam

Sometimes the only honest way to feel something—anything!—is to step outside and let the music hit you where it counts. Make Music Waco on Saturday is part of a global celebration—over 1,000 cities worldwide throwing open their doors and flooding the streets with sound.

You might catch Stumblin’ Jaxon at Bitty & Beau’s Coffee, DJ Anit at Brothwell Brewing, Jon Holt busking outside Texas Music Cafe, or over a dozen other artists lighting up venues all over town—proof that music doesn’t need a spotlight to matter.

Check out the full schedule online and go find your moment.

Woofstock 2025 at the Backyard Bar Stage & Grill on Saturday is what happens when a Humane Society fundraiser straps on a tie-dye t-shirt and starts shredding on a Stratocaster—equal parts dog love, peace freak communion, and sonic detonation under the Texas sky. You’ll get post-hardcore from The Bottomless, soul-soaked R&B from Smooth Nature, Tejano fire from Zamora County Line, and the globe-spanning grooves of Jon Muq to close it all out.

And if none of that moves you, there’s always the $500 air guitar contest—because the best noise can be the one you fake with your whole damn heart.

Tickets are available online.

If you’ve never seen a grown man get body-slammed through a folding table while the crowd loses its mind, you’re missing one of life’s purest joys. HOT Pro Wrestling brings Sunday Night’s Ultra Slam to the Waco Lions Den, burning down the house with “The World Breaker” Brick Savage, “The Hustle Child” Caine Carter, and enough flying elbows to register on the Richter scale.

Come early for the VIP perks—or just show up ready to yell until your voice gives out and your heart’s pounding like your next stop might be an urgent care clinic.

Tickets are available online.
