The world’s leading live
entertainment company, Live Nation, has revealed the first details and November
2021 opening of the 5,000-capacity live music venue “The Terminal,” designed
with advanced architecture that will create a distinctive, one-of-a-kind experience
for artists and fans by replicating the same intimate feel of a small club. Housed
in the city’s latest major downtown development project POST Houston, The Terminal
will be a key anchor in the transformation of the historic former Barbara
Jordan Post Office into a hub for culture, food, shopping and recreation.
When artists stand on The
Terminal’s stage, in their line of site, guests will literally appear to “wallpaper”
the room with virtually no visible blank spaces or gaps as all balcony aisles
and walkways have been designed at angles so that the artist never sees the
aisles—only people.
Above the general
admission space, there will be seated balconies called “Tribune Tiers” that
have been designed and constructed to provide fans with a concert-viewing
experience like none other. This new state-of-the-art design will provide
guests with an intimate viewing experience, despite not being on the floor of
the venue. The term “Tribune Tiers” emanates from the term “tribune” defined as
“a person who upholds or defends the rights of the people.”
Designed by internationally
renowned firm OMA, led by OMA Partner Jason Long, Live Nation’s The Terminal
will feature an innovative venue designed to create a sense of intimacy between
the artist on stage and guests.
Along with other flourishes,
the venue will combine industrial materials such as fiberglass grating, polycarbonate
and aluminized fabric with an array of ephemeral multi-colored lighting effects
to create a machine for spectacle.
“The Terminal will be a
great addition to the live music scene in Houston giving artists and fans more
options to connect at concerts,” said Sherri Sosa, President, Venue Nation. “We
look forward to the Terminal bringing hundreds of shows to the city once it
opens its doors, not only delivering some great live music but also creating
new jobs for the community.”
The Terminal’s show scheduled
is expected to be announced in July.
