Destroy Boys bring FOIE GRAS to AM/FM in March, with illuminati hotties along

The punk band's first Dallas date since 2024 is Tuesday, March 16, 2027, three nights into a 22-city run behind a new album.

Destroy Boys last played Dallas on June 22, 2024, at South Side Ballroom. Their next visit comes early in a tour built around a record that isn't out yet — which means Dallas gets one of the first looks at it on stage.

Destroy Boys play AM/FM on Tuesday, March 16, 2027, with the show starting at 6:30 p.m. Support comes from illuminati hotties and The Rat Utopia Experiment. Tickets are $76 through See Tickets. AM/FM holds about 1,000.

The tour is billed as Destroy Boys Presents FOIE GRAS, after the band's forthcoming album, and it covers 22 cities across the United States and Canada, according to TicketNews. It opens March 13 at The Fonda Theatre in Los Angeles and closes April 16 at August Hall in San Francisco. Dallas lands on night three or four of the run, depending on how the routing falls — early enough that the new songs will still feel brand new to the people playing them.

That's the reason to go. A band touring an album's worth of fresh material in the first week of a run is a band still figuring out which songs hit hardest live, and the crowd is part of that conversation. For a group whose reputation has been built on loud, fast, sweaty shows, the early dates tend to be the rawest ones.

The support bill is worth getting there early for. illuminati hotties, the project led by Sarah Tudzin, have built their own following on hooky, scrappy indie rock, and they've toured North America on their own headline runs in recent years, per coverage from Consequence and Sportskeeda. The two bands have shared a festival bill before, according to Scene Point Blank. Pairing them here makes for a show that will draw both the pit crowd and the people who like to stand near the back and sing along.

The 6:30 start is early for a Tuesday, so plan around it if you're coming from work. With three acts on the bill, the openers will likely be on not long after doors.

It's been less than three years since the last Dallas date, which doesn't sound long until you consider how quickly a band like this can grow between visits. A new album on the way and a tour that opens at The Fonda suggests the rooms are getting bigger. AM/FM may be the last time Dallas sees them at this size.

March 16. Bring earplugs, and come early for the openers.
