    Disclosure
    Zachary S.

    If you're coming to Yelp for venue reviews, I don't know what to tell you. You're either gonna go to the concert you're eyeing tickets for or not. Like Black Sheep said, "the choice is yours". The Concourse Project is sneakily one of the best venues in Austin. Granted, nine times out of ten, it's a dance show hosted here, but it just feels a league above other venues. I'll get this out of the way: you either get to the venue extremely early and luck out with a parking spot, fight the outrageous Uber fees to try and leave the venue with everyone else, or pay $20 to park in a gravel lot next door. It's kind of a lose-lose-lose, but I'm picking $20 parking every time. Outside the tin can of Concourse are the numerous lines to get in. Security is thorough but moves quickly and is more friendly than your standard venue security guard. Once inside, the venue is split into two spaces past the entryway: the outdoor courtyard and the main space. The courtyard is great for a breather, grabbing a drink, or checking the numerous shops hanging around. Inside lies the main dance floor. Huge speakers hang on the wall, and an incredible lighting rig and projectors span the back wall and the ceiling. Like all dance venues, once the music starts, it'll never stop until Austin's curfew. Since residing in Austin, I've been to three shows here: a Boiler Room, Jamie xx, and the great Disclosure just last Thursday. I always love how open the dance floor is at Concourse. There's a ton of space, even at a sold-out show like Disclosure, to dance and groove. Drinks are your standard concert price, and it'll always hurt your wallet to get a drink at any venue, but it is what it is. It's not exorbitant; it's your venue average. I also enjoy that Concourse uses SeeTickets vs. Ticketmaster, so the fees aren't as ridiculous as other Austin venues. The sound in any area of Concourse is great, but the closer you get to the stage, the better and more alive the crowd seems to be. It also doesn't feel like there are a thousand phones in the air at any point because most people are just vibing and living their best life. It's a great venue to go with your friends or make instant friends at, but if you ever ride solo to Concourse, you can still easily lose yourself to the music and the bass. One last thing: After the first time you go to The Concourse Project, you're gonna want to come back. The best way to keep coming back is by protecting your hearing. Foam pieces are cool, but I recommend investing in Loops or EarPeaces, especially at a bass-heavy venue like Concourse, because if you want to keep having a great time, you've got to preserve your ears. Trust me. RIYL: GETTING LIT

    There is something special about The Concourse Project that is transformative and a blank slate to experience any music journey that is being held at the venue. Parking is probably the only sore spot for the space but I feel like if that is the only thing to harp on then it isn't that bad of a situation to worry about. What makes this venue not only badass in the city but one of the top venues for EDM is how easy they transform the space based on the artist's needs. I've been here when they've made it a 360 bar, full production setup with the artist at the back, and a B2B setup. The visuals and audio here honestly compete against venues I've been to in Ibiza, Miami, and Vegas. As someone who loves to have a late night bite after a few drinks, I am so thankful that The Concourse Project has a food truck out back for you to get your grub on. The last show I went to about a week or so ago (NGHTMRE) it was a golden chance to enjoy a plate of quesabirria tacos. Holy crap where they everything and more. They were so delicious and you can decompress and have a break outside. Whether you live in Austin or are visiting, if you have the chance to check out a show here then you absolutely have to!!

    One of the few places I feel at home. I come here every few months either with a VIP or regular ticket. It is safe, clean, great drinks (pricey though), and always nicely decorated. Each time I came, the layouts were always different which I like. I appreciate the security staff and body scanning to make sure nothing dangerous is being brought in. Can't wait for more shows this year!

    Saw Deorro a couple weeks ago here and it was such a cool experience!! The venue offers a lot of space inside and even has an outdoor patio with some food trucks. The lighting and screens on the roof were incredible and added to the ambiance. The staff and bartenders there were also friendly. Keep in mind that they only have limited free parking spaces on site but also offer a lot next to the buildings where they do charge you $20-$22 dollars. Also, I don't know if it was just the sound system here or it's a universal experience but if you stand right in-front of the DJ stage it's really hard to hear what they sing/or what their songs say since it's like 90% bass. When my bf and I moved towards the middle and back of the crowd we ended up having more fun since the sound quality was better there. Something else to note is that if you plan on seeing the artist or performer you bought tickets for they don't tell you there's 2-3 other smaller DJs performing first. We expected that Deorro would play around 10:30- 11pm since doors opened at 9pm but he didn't end up playing until about midnight. We were patient but we wish we could have known. However, we had a great time overall! :)

    Not being a big EDM fan I'd never visited this place, but since it's in my neighborhood I was curious and decided to catch a show. It was great in all aspects - from the sound to the lighting to the friendly and professional staff. They host world-class EDM acts - for example, Tiesto played there in May 2025. Definitely a place for night owls - when I visited, the headliner didn't take the stage until midnight.

    Wow. Let's just say I've visited the concourse twice this year and am ready to return in 2025. Already bought my seismic 2025 tickets! I went to Concourse earlier this year for Sara Landry all nighter, then decided to take on a three day festival in November. What an incredible venue! This festival is top notch. The venue is laid out really well and is nicely spaced. I love the upstairs area where you can overlook, amazing lights and space. Soundsystem was on point. Got to see so many hard techno greats, and old-school greats.

    We had a really great time enjoying desi beats by Indo warehouse at the concourse project. As someone who is mildly claustrophobic, I appreciated the spacious venue with some very cool light effects and good acoustics. The AC was on full blast even though it was a huge hall so we didn't get too sweaty. There are a few couches in the adjoining lounge where you can chill and check out local vendors. They also have a nice patio area with food trucks for late night snacks. There are a few different mixed drinks at the bar and ciders or beer in can, no cocktails.

    Now that live music events are a legitimate "thing" again, and given that I have been to several electronic music shows and festivals this year, I feel compelled to review this amazing venue. In the course of the world reopening, The Concourse Project has become one of Texas' premier dance and electronic music spots, and that is with good reason. Before I go into any details, I should be transparent that I am coming off the heels of a multi-day electronic music festival ("Seismic") held here, and it will be hard for me to rate and review this place without some degree of bias slipping through. That said, here are a few reasons why I believe this place is so ideal. -Location: First, the obvious, it's in Austin. But there is more to it than that. If you are like me, and cut your teeth with full immersion into electronic music culture in the early and mid 2000's, you would know the Austin area is where it has always been at in Texas. Another positive on the location is its proximity to both downtown, and the airport. For the touring DJ, this has to be a big bonus as they are usually in-and-out of cities fairly quickly. -Venue: It's basically a big ass decked out warehouse. That's cool for a few reasons: 1) It makes it ideal for large crowds; 2) It is reminiscent of the "warehouse party" scene that has been so prevalent throughout dance music culture. Plus, the place is just super cool! -Lineups: Check out their website and see some of the upcoming headliners. Big names, but quality local and international artists and DJs. A lot of these folks are not playing regularly at other big cities like Houston, or Dallas, but they are coming here. Lastly, I have to say they appear to be managing the place fairly well. It appears to be well-run, and that becomes more obvious when you interact with the staff; they are actually pretty friendly, which is refreshing compared to what one might be used to experiencing at other clubs and venues. I regularly review their website to see who they have coming here next. Looking forward to visiting again to see some of my favorite electronic music acts and making new epic memories!

But I feel extremely bad for the people in those homes who were there before this venue started doing big concerts. With that said...it used to be a cool little bar with a large covered tent stage and they decided that wasn't big enough. It's also sooooo far South. They charge a 20% "TIP" automatically on every bar purchase. So an IPA was nearly $17. Unless C3 or Live Nation has bought them this is just insane. While this is legal...if it's mandatory, it's not a "tip" under IRS rules -- it's a service charge. That means it belongs to the business, not automatically to the server. That's F'd up and they need to change the language on that.

Even under ideal conditions, COTA is a huge place and getting from the parking lot to the show is a genuine hassle. There were thunderstorms and lightning flashes in the early part of the evening, which delayed the show for two hours, and Lene Lovich's set ended up being cut -- I know nobody can control the weather, but the staff on the ground wasn't helpful at all with providing updates on the show's status. Would it be canceled? Should we wait? We rode a tram bus from the parking lot to just outside the venue, and waited and waited for the gates to open. Nobody was telling the crowd anything. It was chaos. At one point we were herded down a hill into a parking garage to escape the rain (it was a garage, but nobody there was rockin', though cars filled with people bailing on the show and leaving were constantly coming through). I resorted to the B-52's Instagram account to get updates on the situation. Finally, at some point after 8 p.m. the gates opened, we entered the venue, wiped down our seats, and waited. After the show, we walked to the tram station (it was close to midnight by then) and waited, and waited for a tram to take us back to Lot F. There was some sort of "issue." People had been waiting up to 40 minutes for a tram. Nobody from the staff came over to tell us anything. We finally gave up and hoofed it over half a mile to our car. The COTA staff appear to be extremely disorganized and have very little idea how to keep a crowd of some 5,000 people informed about what's going on. They seem more interested in extracting money from people's wallets (besides the extortionate ticket prices, it's the land of $14 beers, $9 ice cream sandwiches, $45 T-shirts, etc. -- COTA makes airport shops seem like a bargain) than taking care of their customers. They don't seem to care about their patrons' welfare at all. I will not be returning to this venue under any circumstances.
