This new Dallas venue was named one of the best clubs in the U.S.​on April 10, 2025 at 4:12 pm

DALLAS — Six months after it opened, a new Dallas music venue has been named one of the top 10 clubs in the U.S., with plans underway for a new sister venue in Houston.

Silo, an abandoned grained silo turned music venue in the Dallas Design District that opened in the fall of 2024, made the top 10 in the U.S. in DJ Mag’s 2025 “Top 100 Clubs in the World” rankings, and is expanding. 

Since its opening, Silo has already hosted the likes of famed British producer Fatboy Slim, known for such hits as “The Rockafeller Skank” and “Praise You,” and famous Dutch DJ and record producer Tiësto. 

The 32,000-square-foot rave and event space located at 1340 Manufacturing St. in the Dallas Design District gets its name from the space’s previous iteration as the old Johnson Grain Company silo from 1959. These days, as a venue, the space features a 100,000-watt D&B sound system, an immersive 2mm video wall and more.

The around 3,000-capacity concert space is co-owned by longtime EDM music promoter “Disco” Donnie Estopinal and the Dallas entertainment entrepreneur Patrick Tetrick, who previously worked as the tour manager for British DJ duo Sasha and Digweed.

Already, the owners are expanding capacity at Silo Dallas from 3,140 to 5,000 and building a new wraparound mezzanine and second performance room. Construction is also underway on a 46,000-square-foot sister venue in Houston and a pizza bar next door to the Dallas location.

The 2025 concert schedule at Silo includes Fatboy Slim, Nora En Pure, Alesso, Diplo, Amelie Lens, Svdden Death, Chris Lake, Cloonee and Mau P. 

It’s not just a concert venue, though. The space has also played host to events like the daytime party Bingo Loco and the Dallas Mavericks’ annual Black Tie Charity Gala.

It’s also the new home of the nondenominational congregation “Reunion Church,” which hosts Sunday services at the venue and has moved its offices and childcare facilities next door.

“We’ve spent a lot of time thinking about how we can change the dynamic as club owners and make the venue more artist-friendly,” Estopinal and Tetrick told Billboard. “We can try to make the tickets as cheap as possible and not let people bribe the doorman to cut in line… We’ve also opened the space to local community groups and even a church on Sundays.”
