As you’re well aware, this year’s PBR World Finals: Unleash the Beast have been taking place at Dickies Arena (1911 Montgomery St, 817-402-9000), and the final competitions are 7:45pm Thu-Sat and 8:45am Sun. For the “toughest eight seconds in sports,” the PBR pits the most rugged riders against the baddest bulls. “Unleash the Beast brings 750 tons of dirt, 65 tons of steer, and 25 tons of steel. Each rider faces all of that weight as he competes to qualify for the PBR World Finals, where the winner will walk away with $1 million and the coveted gold belt buckle.” (PBR also brings a ton of great music with it. Read more about that in Crosstown Sounds on FWWeekly.com.)

Are you ready to relax, unwind, and unplug? Apparently, Jack White is. If you’re headed to The Pavilion at Toyota Music Factory (300 W Las Colinas Blvd, Irving, 214-978-4888) at 8pm to see Jack White: The Supply Chain Issues Tour, know that it is a “phone-free show.” You read that correctly. No phones will be allowed in the performance space for an “unplugged, real-life experience.” How does this work? Staff will help you secure your phone in a lockable pouch that you keep with you. If you have an urgent need to use your phone — or to jump on your social media (you addict!) — there are designated phone use areas in the lobby and concourse. For more details, check out the event page at Facebook.com/LiveNation.
