Toyota Music Factory
The Toyota Music Factory (originally known as Irving Music Factory) is an entertainment complex located in the Las Colinas neighborhood of Irving, Texas.
Developed by the ARK Group and the City of Irving, with architecture design by the Gensler firm, for roughly $US175 million, the live music venue holds more than 8,000 spectators. The development is slated to include 300,000 square feet of retail and restaurants, 100,000 square feet concert hall and amphitheater with 8,000 capacity, an outdoor event plaza and 100,000 square feet of office space.
In 2007, voters in Irving agreed to finance an entertainment center near Texas State Highway 114. In 2014, The ARK Group announced that a new entertainment district near the Irving Convention Center was planned for Irving, Texas.
The venue was originally scheduled to open as the "Irving Music Factory" on September 1, 2017, with a live performance by comedian Dave Chappelle. However, construction delays caused the September 1 opening to be cancelled. On September 8, The ARK Group announced that venue was being renamed the Toyota Music Factory and would open the following day with a ZZ Top concert as its inaugural event. The venue formally opened on September 9.
In January 2024, Irving's city council approved a $6.3 million renovation and redevelopment of the venue.
Since its opening, artists who have performed at Toyota Music Factory include Nine Inch Nails, Rosalía, Olivia Rodrigo, Tame Impala, Bob Dylan, Suicideboys, ZZ Top, Sting, Harry Styles, Charlie Puth, Robert Plant, J Balvin, Slayer, "Weird Al" Yankovic, and others. Local and regional artists such as Kacey Musgraves and The Chicks have also played homecoming shows at the venue. The Toyota Music Factory also hosted The Late Show with Stephen Colbert in July 2024 as part of 2024 Major League Baseball All-Star Game festivities. In June 2025, Filipino pop group BINI performed as part of the Biniverse World Tour.
The complex consists of 210,000 square feet (20,000 m2) of food and retail space which includes a movie theater and bowling alley. Alongside these facilities lies a 4,000-seat indoor music theatre, "The Pavilion at the Toyota Music Factory" with walls that can retract to create an open-air pavilion capable of seating an additional 4,000 people on its 65,000 square feet (6,000 m2) lawn.
The ARK Group, owned by Noah Lazes and Richard Lazes, is a combination of companies whose focus is on mixed-use developments and entertainment zones. Previous projects include the original Music Factory in Charlotte, North Carolina and Level Entertainment Venue in Miami, Florida.
