A week after Governors Ball, Girl Talk spent his Saturday (6/25) in New Braunfels, Texas (near San Antonio), playing a mashed-up set to a raucous outdoor crowd with support from "hillbilly disco" rockers Bright Light Social Hour. Pictures from that show are in this post.

The DJ/remixer will hit multiple festivals this summer and fall including Lollapalooza, and the just-mentioned Popped! Fest in Philly in September. All dates are below.
