    Houston's hot entertainment destination rocks out new name and concerts — starting with Willie Nelson

    In May, CultureMap reported on The Terminal, the new entertainment destination housed in the highly anticipated Post Houston. Boasting a 5,000-person capacity, the venue will be downtown’s largest entertainment venue when it opens in November.

    Now, locals heading to downtown shows can expect a new name and lineup for the buzzy hot spot nestled in the historic Barbara Jordan Post Office.

    In an homage to Houston, The Terminal has been rebranded to 713 Music Hall, LiveNation announced.

    As for the new lineup LiveNation estimates the venue will host at least 100 events each year. Here's what’s coming up for 2021-2022, according to LiveNation, starting with our beloved Willie:

    • November 17: Willie Nelson & Family
    • November 18 and 19: Rüfüs Du Sol with Flight Facilities
    • November 20: Whiskey Myers with The Steel Woods and Bones Owens
    • November 21: Evanescence + Halestorm with Plush
    • December 31: Khruangbin with Aidan Kennedy
    • February 11: Erasure with Bag Raiders

    A LiveNation spokesperson tells CultureMap that guests should check the official website regularly for updates on COVID safety protocols.

    “Music is all about connection, and we are proud the 713 Music Hall reps its hometown in such a great way as it connects artists with fans in Houston,” Sherri Sosa, president, Venue Nation said in a press release. “We can’t wait to open the doors and bring even more live music to the city.”

    The 713 venue has myriad tech-inspired innovations on tap. The building is designed with advanced architecture that will create a distinctive, one-of-a-kind experience for artists and fans by replicating the same intimate feel of a small club.

    When artists stand on stage, in their line of sight, guests will literally appear to “wallpaper” the room, with virtually no visible blank spaces or gaps, as all balcony aisles and walkways have been designed at angles so that the artist never sees the aisles—only people.

    Meanwhile, seated balconies dubbed “Tribune Tiers” will sit above the general admission space. This new state-of-the-art design will provide guests with an intimate viewing experience, despite not being on the floor of the venue.

    As reported, the 713 Music Hall will be a key anchor in the transformation of the historic, former Barbara Jordan Post Office into a hub for culture, food, shopping, and recreation.

    One More for the Road

    ZZ Top honors late drummer Frank Beard with Austin tribute concert

    ZZ Top will celebrate their late drummer, Frank Beard (middle, after a show in Canada), at one of his favorite venues.

    Texas rock trio ZZ Top will play a tribute to their late drummer, Frank Beard, at their scheduled Austin tour stops at ACL Live at the Moody Theater on August 22 and 23. Beard died Monday, August 17, at 77.

    The band announced Beard's death in a social media statement.

    Lead vocalist and songwriter Billy Gibbons wrote, "Today, Elwood and I lost a great friend and collaborator, and the world lost one of the most naturally innovative drummers and a great and true son of Texas. His signature backbeat was key to keeping ZZ on top."

    ZZ Top canceled performances in Salt Lake City and Colorado Springs following Beard's death. The Austin shows will be the band's first onstage again, offering a fitting time to celebrate the Texas great. A statement on the band's website calls the Austin City Limits stage "one of Frank’s favorite venues and in a city that had been something of a second home for him."

    Beard was born near Tyler in Frankston, Texas, in 1949. He was raised in Irving, outside Dallas, and the band formed in Houston in 1969. The Austin Chronicle reported in 2013 that Beard was then splitting time between a house on Lake Travis, in Austin, and Houston. He died on his ranch in the Houston suburb of Richmond.

    ZZ Top was known for its large performances and elaborate setup, none more so than the Worldwide Texas Tour, which included a Texas-shaped stage and a collection of live Texas animals.

    In 1974, the band left its mark on Austin — for better or worse — at "ZZ Top’s First Annual Texas Sized Rompin’ Stompin’ Barndance & Bar B.Q." at the University of Texas. It was the first, but also the last, since around 80,000 of the band's "friends" trashed the venue, earned the disapproval of the famous Coach Royal, and were ostensibly responsible for the venue not hosting another rock show until 1995. ZZ Top's two encores had 20 years to ring out after the legendary, if infamous show.

    ZZ Top will make their upcoming Austin appearances as part of The Big One! Tour on Saturday, August 22, at 8 pm and Sunday, August 23, at 7:30 pm. Tickets are still available for both shows at acllive.com.
