“Even with all the venues and festivals that we’re lucky to have here in Austin, we’ve been missing something; a true mid-sized indoor venue, and that is exactly what AEG Presents is building right here,” said Austin City Councilmember Jose Velasquez.
“It’s also just going to be a club slash wedding venue slash private events, corporate events, it’s going to be awesome,” said Robin Phillips, Vice President of Southwest Region of AEG Presents.
“This really isn’t just about building a music venue, it’s about building community,” said COO of AEG Presents Shawn Trell. “We are thrilled to be a part of this neighborhood and so excited to be a part of the growth and the future.”
“When I saw this location and just saw the plans for the future development, and just, I love where it is, just south of the lake, and you know, Riverside has a lot of history,” said Phillips.
“It’s going to host artists that actually look like Austin, sound like Austin, and feel like Austin,” said Velasquez. “This venue is also going to help create jobs, attract visitors, and be a beacon for live music in District 3 and for the city.”
What’s next:
The venue is expected to be complete by early 2027.
