Live Events Giant Will Continue to Operate Beloved Texas Venue

AEG Presents, a global leader in live music and events, and the city of Grand Prairie announced today they will extend their partnership to operate The Texas Trust CU Theatre at Grand Prairie through 2033, a relationship that has consistently delivered unforgettable live entertainment to the community. The live events giant has operated the venue since 2002 and has been instrumental in enhancing the city’s reputation as a top five destination in the state for entertainment, art and culture. AEG Presents and the city of Grand Prairie continue to establish The Texas Trust CU Theatre as the premier venue for music and concerts in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex.

Built in 2002, the Texas Trust CU Theatre at Grand Prairie is a 6,350-capacity theatre that has hosted world-class artists and events across genres, including Bad Bunny, BTS, Dolly Parton, Eagles, Coldplay, Kacey Musgraves, The Killers, Tyler, the Creator, and Steve Martin. This renewed partnership commitment includes investments in venue upgrades, from first-in-class acoustics to advanced customer amenities and technology.

"We’re excited to keep working with AEG Presents and continue bringing top-tier entertainment to Grand Prairie," said Mayor Ron Jensen. “This ongoing commitment will bring more jobs to our community, attract even more visitors, and further solidify our city as a top destination for culture, arts, and live music in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex."

Commented Shawn Trell, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer for AEG Presents: “We have always had a collaborative and productive relationship with the City of Grand Prairie for over 20 years now, and it’s resulted in a great run of live entertainment in a building that’s perfectly suited to the market. Having first worked with the city on the initial agreement, it’s gratifying to see this partnership extend into the next decade.”

“We intend to continue to deliver superior customer and artist experiences and remain the leading venue in the market,” said Jeff Kehr, the Theatre General Manager.

AEG Presents has also assisted the city of Grand Prairie by helping secure the exceptional talent for Grand Prairie's Main Street Fest, which was subsequently named the “Best of Dallas 2024 Music Festival” by the Dallas Observer.
