McKinney (Collin County) — Venu Holding Corporation, a leading premium hospitality and live entertainment company, has closed on a 46-acre property for its 20,000-seat world-class outdoor music venue, The Sunset Amphitheater.
The official groundbreaking ceremony is anticipated for Spring 2025.
The development of the premium destination is set to be built as part of a public-private partnership between Colorado-based Venu, the City of McKinney, the McKinney Economic Development Corporation and the McKinney Community Development Corporation. The site is just northeast of Dallas-Fort Worth off Interstate 75 and Highway 121.
“This world-class music venue is a game-changer for our entertainment offerings in McKinney and will be a boom for our economic growth and tourism sector. With a state-of-the-art venue of this size, we can draw some of the largest musical acts to the city and attract fans from across Texas and the surrounding states,” said Mayor George Fuller. “This new addition to our community will bring even more life and energy to our already thriving arts scene and undoubtedly continue to set McKinney apart as an entertainment and cultural hub in the region.”
In collaboration with NFL Hall of Famer and EIGHT founder Troy Aikman, the venue boasts The Aikman Club—a members-only club offering that will provide premium seating and an array of high-end amenities.
“I’m thrilled that VENU is opening a location here in my hometown of Dallas,” said Aikman. “As a lifelong music fan, the partnership between EIGHT and VENU is a special one to me. Nothing pairs better than great music and a cold beer, and I can’t wait for fans to enjoy both in an unforgettable way.”
