Scout Bar in Houston joins the retro revival with Poison I.V., a high-octane tribute to glam rock icons Poison, alongside a Def Leppard tribute by Hysterimania that’s sure to get fists pumping and voices raised.


At House of Blues Houston, metal and horror collide as Ice Nine Kills presents the Silver Scream-A-Thon—a spectacle of theatrical rock that fuses cinematic scares with mosh-worthy tracks.

The excitement continues throughout the weekend at NRG Park with the Houston Tattoo Arts Festival—a celebration of ink culture featuring renowned tattoo artists, live performances, and a sea of creativity.

Meanwhile, Galveston Island kicks off its annual Revue Weekend at Saengerfest Park, where vintage flair, classic cars, swing dancing, and the legendary Bathing Beauties Contest take center stage in a coastal tribute to the glamour of the past.

Miller Outdoor Theatre, Houston

On Weekend Friday, June 6th, 2025, Miller Outdoor Theatre will be alive with movement, elegance, and innovation as Vitacca Ballet presents LAUNCH, an evening of contemporary ballet that celebrates the power and poetry of new artistic beginnings. The production is a thoughtfully curated experience, blending the precision of classical technique with the boundary-pushing creativity of modern dance.

At the heart of LAUNCH is a bold exploration of human discovery, transformation, and the thrill of starting anew. The performance showcases the vision of several internationally acclaimed choreographers: Garrett Smith, known for his emotionally resonant and cinematic works; Ethan Colangelo, whose choreography bridges abstraction and storytelling; Hélène Simoneau, celebrated for her structural elegance and intimate movement vocabularies; and Alana Jones, a Houston native whose work brings a local heartbeat to this global artistic conversation.


Adding further depth to the program is a special piece choreographed by Ilya Kozadayev, created for the Vitacca Ballet Studio Company and featuring the promising young talent Aubrey Daniels, a 2025 Prix de Lausanne candidate. This segment underscores Vitacca Ballet’s commitment to cultivating emerging artists while sharing the stage with seasoned professionals.

The company’s previous performances have earned accolades from national outlets like Pointe Magazine, which praised their "Standout Performance" distinction. Audiences can expect a night filled with dynamic movement, emotional range, and visually arresting stagecraft.

Set against the natural backdrop of Hermann Park, LAUNCH at Miller Outdoor Theatre invites audiences of all ages to experience dance that both honors tradition and reimagines the future. As always at Miller, the performance is free to attend, with covered seating available through ticket reservations and open seating on the hill.

Whether you’re a long-time ballet enthusiast or a first-time visitor to the theatre, LAUNCH promises an unforgettable evening of grace, innovation, and inspiration under the stars.
