The Black Angels close out a 'Passover' year with a Saturday at Stable Hall

The Austin psych band returns to Stable Hall on Saturday, Nov. 28, its first San Antonio date since 2024, in the year its debut album turned 20.

The Black Angels have spent most of 2026 looking back at where they started. On Thanksgiving weekend, they bring that year down the road to San Antonio.

The Black Angels play Stable Hall on Saturday, Nov. 28, with a 4 p.m. start. Tickets are through Stable Hall. The date was announced Oct. 30. It's the band's first San Antonio show since June 28, 2024 — also at Stable Hall, the roughly 1,000-capacity room where they'll be playing again.

Note the start time. A 4 p.m. Saturday show on a holiday weekend is an unusual slot, so plan the afternoon around it.

This has been a big year for the band. Their debut album, Passover, turned 20 this spring, and the Black Angels marked it with a 20th-anniversary tour that played the record in full, with L.A. Witch opening every night. That run kicked off May 9 at Austin Psych Fest — the festival the band founded — and finished June 1 in Kansas City.

Passover turned 20 this year, and the Black Angels spent 2026 taking it back on the road.

It didn't stop there. The band took the record overseas for an Australia and New Zealand run in June, then kept the Passover 2026 Tour name going into the fall. Recent listings show stops at The Observatory North Park in San Diego on Nov. 1, Ace of Spades in Sacramento on Nov. 6 and Portland's Crystal Ballroom on Nov. 10, along with East Coast dates at rooms like Washington's 9:30 Club and Carrboro's Cat's Cradle. Stable Hall comes a couple of weeks after that West Coast swing.

Whether the San Antonio set will lean on Passover the way the anniversary dates did hasn't been spelled out, so go in expecting the band's catalog rather than a guaranteed full-album night. Either way, after a year spent living inside that first record, the songs that started everything are bound to be sharp.

The local angle is the band's role in Texas psych itself. As founders of Austin Psych Fest, the Black Angels have spent two decades building a scene that runs right through Central and South Texas. A San Antonio show is about as close to a home game as it gets without being in Austin.

Stable Hall is a good fit for that. It's where they played last time, and a room of around 1,000 keeps a heavy, droning psych show loud and close without losing the crowd to the back bar.

If Thanksgiving leaves you with family in town and nothing planned for Saturday, an afternoon of fuzz and reverb at Stable Hall is a fine way to get everyone out of the house.
