While not out at the track, this sure seems like news you folks will want to know.
Aerosmith and Cheap Trick will be in Austin for a show during the US Grand Prix weekend. News is here:
Iconic American rock band Aerosmith will headline a concert at the Frank Erwin Center Friday, Nov. 16 with quintessential 1980s rockers Cheap Trick. The concert will be held in conjunction with fan festivals planned around the FORMULA 1 UNITED STATES GRAND PRIX™ Nov. 16-18.
Aerosmith formed in 1970 and have since sold more than 150 million albums, won four Grammy awards and been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. This will be Aerosmith’s fifth concert at the Frank Erwin Center and first in almost 15 years, when the legendary band toured in support of their hit album, “Nine Lives.”
Here’s the “About” page for the center:

What that means is you can walk there from Downtown Austin. And I guess it is on the UT campus? (I’ve only been to UT once so I don’t know. But the campus and Downtown Austin are on top of each other, so it isn’t a huge distinction.
