Arena Theatre Houston

The Arena Theatre is not only one of Houston’s oldest concert venues, it is one of Texas’ most historic!”

The Arena Theatre is one of Houston’s oldest and most successful concert venues. When you come to the Arena Theatre, you don’t come to see a show, you come to experience it. Because of its unique design, this theatre in the round provides guests with an intimate evening with their favorite entertainer. Arena Theatre has proudly presented many legendary artists such as Willie Nelson, BB King, Tom Jones, Aretha Franklin and Smokey Robinson.

With no seat more than sixty feet from the stage you feel like you are part of the show, not just part of the audience. This intimate setting, unique to the Arena Theatre only, lets you feel like you get to know your favorite star a little better.

The Arena Theatre customers are also able to enjoy four, full service, inside bars without missing a beat. In addition, the enclosed and secure parking ensures that even bad weather can’t dampen the spirit of the Theatre’s concertgoers.

Reviews »

“The Arena Theatre has been bringing in mainstream entertainers since the ’70s. Its round revolving stage allows audience members a degree of intimacy with the performers unavailable in a traditional arrangement. The Arena recently received a substantial facelift under new ownership. Upgrades include new sound and lighting systems and an ambitious booking approach that has brought some of the best national and international pop, country and jazz talents to Houston.” Citysearch

“Arena Theater is well-known for its amazing rock concerts. Enter this spacious venue to be spellbound by its minimalistic yet stylish decor and comfortable seating. Sink into these chairs while the renowned music talents spell magic across the stage with their power-packed performances. And not to forget the high-end lighting systems and acoustics add an impact larger than life!” – Yahoo Travel
