Waco’s Premier Live Music Venue

 

Since 1914, the Hippodrome has been known to host a wide variety of high-quality Broadway-style acts and entertainment such as silent films, vaudeville shows, and traveling performers – even live performing seals. Today, the spirit of live entertainment endures at the Hippodrome – minus the seals.

If you’re looking for large live music venues in Waco, look no further than the Hippodrome. We embrace rock, country, blues, soul, punk, roots, and other genres of music. Our mission is to create an exceptional experience for people with different musical tastes from all walks of life.

Our historic large event space has hosted new local bands playing their first gig and veteran musicians playing their hundredth. Whatever your event space needs are, we can accommodate any small or large functions – at very competitive rates. Rent our large orchestra theater, parts or all our event rooms, or the indoor bar. Our event packages are entirely customizable to suit your requirements. We have state-of-the-art A/V equipment to make sure you will deliver memorable musical sets.

*In November of 2020 The Waco Hippodrome decided to suspend operations of the movie theatres and restaurant spaces for restructuring. We continue to book live music performances in the historic orchestra theatre and are working hard to reopen our other theatres and multiple restaurant spaces as soon as possible.
