Teddy Swims Brings The UGLY Tour to Fort Worth
Raised in Conyers, Georgia, Teddy Swims — born Jaten Dimsdale — built his following the modern way, posting soulful cover videos online before his own songwriting turned him into one of the biggest breakout voices in soul, R&B, and pop. His 2023 breakout single "Lose Control" became a genuine cultural moment, climbing all the way to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 — and the Fort Worth date at Dickies Arena on Friday, October 30, 2026 lands as one of the marquee North Texas stops of the fall arena season.
The UGLY Tour showcases his debut studio album alongside newer material, all delivered with the raw, gospel-tinged vocal power that made him a star. This is not a small club show — this is a full Dickies Arena production: roughly 14,000 seats, one of the largest continuous 360-degree video screens in North America, and one of the most distinctive voices in music today filling the room.
A soul, R&B, and pop headliner built for a live room. Teddy Swims pairs a powerhouse voice with a full band — the kind of emotional, big-chorus show that fills an arena. Dickies Arena's 360-degree screen setup is purpose-built for this kind of production, and Halloween-eve weekend makes it a perfect night out.
What to Expect at Dickies Arena on October 30

Is this an all-ages show at Dickies Arena?
Age policy varies for this show. Some arena concerts set an age minimum or require younger guests to be accompanied by an adult, while others are open to all ages with a ticket. Don't assume — confirm the specific age policy and any child ticketing rules on the official Dickies Arena event page at dickiesarena.com before the October 30 show.
Tickets are available through Ticketmaster and the Dickies Arena box office at dickiesarena.com — prices vary by seat and demand, so check the official listings for current availability. However you buy in, private transportation means you arrive composed, on time, and focused entirely on the night you came for.
Why Friday Night at Dickies Arena Needs a Plan
Is parking available at Dickies Arena on a Friday night?
Dickies Arena's general lot and Montgomery Lot are available for this Friday evening show. A weekend night at a 14,000-capacity arena means heavier traffic than a weeknight — significant Montgomery Street congestion at showtime and a packed parking exit after 10:00 PM when 14,000 people leave simultaneously. Add Halloween-weekend crowds across the Cultural District and the $25–$40 parking cost, and the drive-yourself math gets complicated fast.
What's the unique challenge of a Friday night concert for DFW fans?
Friday night is the start of a going-out weekend — and the night before Halloween. That means getting off work, grabbing dinner, and reaching a 7:00 PM arena show in Fort Worth — with parking, security, and seats covered — all before Teddy Swims takes the stage, while weekend and costume-party traffic builds around town. For groups coming from Dallas, Frisco, Arlington, Southlake, or Rockwall, that drive during Friday rush hour requires leaving early enough to make it work.
| Factor | Drive Yourself | QTS Black Car |
|---|---|---|
| Friday Rush Hour | Navigate I-30 at 5–6 PM alone | Chauffeur routes around congestion |
| Parking Cost | $25–$40+ at Dickies lots | Included — zero extra cost |
| Groups of Friends | Multiple cars, split-up arrivals | Relaxed, all in one vehicle |

| Post-Show Exit (10 PM) | Parking lot backup, long crawl out | Driver staged, straight to car |
| Drop-Off Location | Walk from lot to entrance | Montgomery St. front door |
