Diplo concert kicks off Houston's World Cup pop-up restaurant and bar
Diplo will perform in Houston on Thursday, June 11.
A high profile Houston pop-up is kicking off its World Cup run with a concert by one of the world’s most famous DJs. International superstar Diplo will perform at The Ranch Presents Pitch Live on Thursday, June 11.
Known for a host of accomplishments — including co-writing M.I.A,’s Grammy-nominated “Paper Planes,” producing Beyoncé's "Run the World (Girls)," and collaborating with fellow star Skrillex on Jack Ü, and many more — Diplo will bring his signature high-energy performance to Pitch Live’s main stage for a concert with full scale lights, sound, and visual. Tickets, $175, are available now.
“Having Diplo at Pitch Live is a huge win for Houston,” Pitch Live co-founder Army Sadeghi said in a statement. “This city shows up for global moments, and we wanted an artist who matches that vibe. His performance brings energy that reflects exactly what this city and World Cup are all about.”
Sadeghi, a co-owner of Clarkwood, Melrose, and recently-opened cocktail bar 1111, partnered with Berg Hospitality founder Ben Berg and Houston soccer legend Brian Ching to open The Rance Presents Pitch Live in the former Warehouse Live space in EaDo. Open from June 11 through July 19, the 35,000-square-foot pop-up venue puts an international spin on The Ranch, Berg Hospitality’s restaurant at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo that operated from 2022-2025.
It offers a public main stage with screens and bars for watching every World Cup match, a ticketed restaurant, and a private VIP lounge led by Sophie owner Ashley Muncie. Food options will include some of The Ranch’s most popular dishes as well as pop-ups from restaurants in Houston that represent the countries playing in that day’s matches.
