Rilo Kiley Returns: A Night of Indie Nostalgia at the Aztec Theatre

If you’ve ever screamed along to Portions for Foxes in your car or let More Adventurous soundtrack your heartbreak, you already know—this show is a big deal.

Rilo Kiley is back.

On October 8th, San Antonio’s historic Aztec Theatre will welcome one of indie rock’s most beloved bands for a long-awaited performance that’s shaping up to be pure magic. And they’re not coming alone—slowcore legends Pedro the Lion are tagging along, making this a double-stack of emotional gut punches and melodic gold.

The Aztec—known for its ornate Mesoamerican décor and pristine acoustics—feels like a fitting venue for Rilo Kiley’s bittersweet blend of folk, rock, and lyrical introspection. It's the kind of room where voices carry and feelings linger.

Expect a set packed with fan favorites from The Execution of All Things, Under the Blacklight, and beyond. Will we get deep cuts? Will Jenny Lewis shed a single perfect tear under a spotlight? Will A Better Son/Daughter turn into a cathartic singalong? (Yes. Probably. Absolutely.)

And with Pedro the Lion opening? Consider your soul thoroughly stirred.

Whether you’re a day-one fan or just discovering the brilliance of Rilo Kiley, this one’s worth showing up early for. Indie hearts, this is your night.
