Fust brings a Charlottesville date to The Southern Café & Music Hall on June 14, 2026. Tickets go on sale Friday at 10 a.m. ET.

The act
Formed in 2018, out of Durham, NC, Fust has been touring behind a strengthening catalog into a live act with national reach.
Fust is a Durham, North Carolina alt-country band formed in 2018 around the songwriting of Aaron Dowdy, a literature PhD candidate at Duke. The lineup includes members of Sluice, Weirs, and Mipso. Their 2025 album Big Ugly landed at No. 9 on Time's Best Albums of 2025 and pulled NPR and New York Times year-end placements.
The venue
The Southern Café & Music Hall sits at 103 South 1st Street, a 300-capacity intimate listening room operated by Starr Hill Presents under booker Danny Shea.
Southern programs eclectically across rising indie, folk, and singer-songwriters. The room runs 300 general-admission, with sightlines from front-of-house to the back of the floor.
The night
Doors 7:00 PM. Set 8:00 PM. All ages. Ticket prices are set on the on-sale.
Why now
Fust pulls a measurable 98/100 share of Charlottesville-metro listeners on Spotify, including a non-trivial DC and Richmond overlap that often crosses for shows at this size.
