Dancing Away Detention returns Sunday, October 18, at Antone’s Nightclub as a Grassroots Leadership fundraiser. The venue bills Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Sentimental Family Band, Josh Baca & The Hot Tamales and Rico-Ico, with doors at 5 p.m. and the show at 6 p.m.
Grassroots Leadership says the event supports its mutual-aid program for people affected by incarceration and deportation. The official Ticketmaster listing remains live as of October 17, but it does not publish a dependable remaining-ticket count or stable public price in its accessible event details. Use the live seller for inventory, fees and the final total.

Antone’s current calendar and dedicated event page agree on Sunday’s date, 5 p.m. doors, 6 p.m. show and 21-and-up policy. Grassroots Leadership’s current event page independently places the benefit at the same address and lists a broader 5–10 p.m. event window.
Trackside is using the venue’s door and show times for the audience schedule. Neither official page publishes individual set times or a running order, so the artist sequence and performance lengths should not be inferred from the billing.

- Jimmie Dale Gilmore · Sentimental Family Band · Josh Baca & The Hot Tamales · Rico-Ico
Antone’s names Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Sentimental Family Band, Josh Baca & The Hot Tamales and Rico-Ico on the official event title. That confirmed billing is the limit of the published lineup information: the venue does not identify an opener, closer or exact set sequence.
Ticketmaster shortens the public event title to “Jimmie Dale Gilmore & More,” but links to the same Sunday event at Antone’s. For the fuller lineup, use the venue page rather than a truncated seller headline or an unofficial calendar.

The night funds Grassroots Leadership mutual aid

- Lineup / admission
- Annual fundraiser · mutual-aid support
Grassroots Leadership says all funds raised go to its mutual-aid program supporting people impacted by incarceration and deportation. Antone’s describes the beneficiary as the organization’s rapid-response Mutual Aid Fund. Those are the organizers’ current descriptions; neither page publishes a guaranteed net amount or fundraising target.
Antone’s also advertises a silent auction and gives examples including signed Willie Nelson memorabilia and Austin Symphony tickets. Auction inventory can change, so treat those examples as the venue’s preview—not a guarantee that a particular item will remain available when you arrive.

- Lineup / admission
- General admission · limited first-come seating may be available
Ticketmaster says an Antone’s ticket grants general-admission entry with standing room and that limited seating may be available first-come, first-served. A visible event page is not a promise that tickets will remain at the door, and Trackside is not repeating an unstable checkout price without a reliable public offer.
Antone’s lists the venue at 305 East Fifth Street. For parking, accessibility or other arrival needs, consult the venue’s current information and contact staff directly before traveling rather than assuming a particular garage, rate or seat will be available.
