Texas Music Theater San Marcos

Devoted to music and musicians, Texas Music Theater features all-new state-of-the-art digital sound and lighting and acoustics — with a mission to provide the highest-quality experiences for music makers as well as the thousands of audience members who will hear them. Texas bands of all kinds, local and regional artists, and national touring acts will provide quality shows, intimate as well as full-production, any given night of the week and always on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

Patrons will enjoy listening to their old favorite or new favorite entertainers performing Americana, Texas country, rock, indie rock, blues, Tejano-Salsa-Latin and more. The venue is also available for private parties, corporate meetings, special events and rehearsals of national touring acts, with VIP section and balcony seating options. Located on the square in downtown San Marcos, Texas, between Austin and San Antonio, the theater was built in 1941 and opened as the Plaza Theater. The building was remodeled in 1958 as a movie theater with two screens and renamed Holiday Theater. Most recently, it was a venue called Gordo’s that featured live music from new acts such as Blue October. Over the years, thousands of area residents and students at Southwest Texas State (now Texas State University-San Marcos) have ventured through its doors to be entertained.

Dynamic entertainment returns to downtown San Marcos with the revitalization and renovation of the space into Texas Music Theater. Three entrepreneurs with experience in music, entertainment and redevelopment have opened the premier venue in the Interstate Highway 35 corridor and Texas Hill Country, Texas Music Theater San Marcos.
