Houston rap star Paul Wall blasts off with concert at intergalactic art venue
Paul Wall and Lil' Keke will appear at Meow Wolf in March.
Two Houston hip-hop stars are teaming up for a one-night-only performance in a venue that’s out of this world. Paul Wall and special guest Lil’ Keke will perform at Meow Wolf on Saturday, March 7.
Held at Meow Wolf’s Theta Theatre, the after-hours show will blend Houston rap with the interactive art installation’s interdimensional experience. Tickets ($65) are on sale now for the performance, which will begin at 10 pm and is limited to people who are 21 or older.
“Radio Tave was built with nights like this in mind,” general manager Aaron Johnson said in a statement. “Paul Wall performing inside the exhibition brings Houston music into a space designed for sound to hit, linger, and surround you. This is a powerful moment for the venue and for the city.”
The Grammy-nominated Wall is known for songs such as "Sittin' Sidewayz," "Girl," and "They Don't Know," along with features on songs such as Nelly's "Grillz" and Mike Jones' "Still Tippin’.” He’ll be joined by Lil’ Keke, a longtime member of the Screwed Up Click who helped pioneer Houston’s signature slowed-down sound. The duo have collaborated on a number of tracks, including “Break Em' Off," "Ridin 5," and "Chunk Up the Deuce."
Meow Wolf opened Radio Tave, its Houston installation, in 2024. It guides visitors through an East Texas radio station that’s been transported to another dimension. Houston musicians, including rapper Fat Tony, contributed to the experience. Cowboix Hevvven, the venue’s honky tonk-inspired dive bar, features a jukebox with songs recorded by Texas artists for Meow Wolf. It received two 2025 Webby Awards for Webby Award (Critics' Choice) and the People’s Voice Award for Best Installation or Experience in AI, Immersive & Games.
