Best Live Venue : Toyota Center
“Don’t stop thinking about tomorrow,” Fleetwood Mac sang near the end of its October 6, 2003 show at Toyota Center, the first event ever held in the downtown arena. The venue heeded the band’s sage advice. In nearly 18 years’ worth of tomorrows, the edifice has hosted some of Houston’s most memorable live concert moments. Legends like Aerosmith, Madonna, Prince and Tina Turner and legends in the making like Miley Cyrus, Drake, Adele and Taylor Swift have all played the arena.
It would be unwise to dismiss the building’s concert delivering prowess simply because it can be viewed as a sports arena. While it is home to the Houston Rockets and a preferred stop for the UFC and WWE, it also is vital to bringing some of music’s biggest names to the city. Its size and proximity to downtown amenities are attractive to big tours.
A look at the arena’s approaching shows is a reminder of what we’ve missed, a space where disparate world-class acts like Luke Combs and J. Cole and James Taylor and Andrea Bocelli can bring the city’s music fans together again. When the pandemic was causing major concert cancellations, we like to think the echoes of that Fleetwood Mac song rang over Toyota Center’s empty rows of seats with a message of hope.
