Smaller Venues That Rock – The Echo Lounge & Music Hall

The Echo Lounge & Music Hall History

Originally set to open in May 2020, The Echo Lounge rescheduled its first live events for 2021, making it the first concert venue in Dallas’ famed Design District. And true to the neighborhood’s name and heritage, The Echo Lounge has transformed a former furniture-warehouse site into a striking two-story architectural marvel — complete with large-windowed walls that lend its exterior a lightbox effect — with room for 1,000 attendees.

The Echo Lounge Performers

Early bookings at The Echo Lounge include modern-rock acts like The Revivalists and Two Feet, with subsequent programming to accommodate a variety of genres including EDM, country, hip-hop and metal. And given that The Echo Lounge is the brainchild of Dallas Mavericks CEO Mark Cuban (owner of the lot on which the building stands), expect crossover events between the venue and the team, who train at a facility right next door and play at the nearby American Airlines Center.

Planning Your Visit to The Echo Lounge

The Dallas Design District is no misnomer — the neighborhood is largely the domain of furniture showrooms, creative studios and industrial plazas populated by carpet and fabric suppliers. So although the area surrounding The Echo Lounge & Music Hall isn’t teeming with nightlife, the nearby Community Beer Co. is a popular local microbrewery where you can grab a pre-show pint (interested in learning about the best bars in Dallas for live music?)
