Empire is a 15,000 square foot modern music space at 7th and Red River, boasting three unique stages – the former auto shop known as the garage, with a 1,050 person capacity, the indoor control room with a capacity of 350, and the creekside outdoor patio with a capacity of 200. This venue has quickly become one of Austin’s premier venues for artists performing in an intimate, unpretentious setting. Only four blocks from The Convention Center, Empire has 6 years of SXSW brand equity, hosts numerous conferences and corporate events annually, and is the home for unique private event experiences. Empire is dedicated to creating dynamic music events with the feel and ingenuity of warehouse style parties, all in the name of the fan experience. Contact us to learn more about hosting an event!
