After its Halloween launch was postponed, The Bomb Factory’s newly revived neighbor Canton Hall will open its doors to the public on Saturday. And it’s fortunate timing for owners Clint and Whitney Barlow as they document the hall’s beginning: they’ll host Grizzly Bear’s devoted fan base as the band stops on its tour behind Painted Ruins.
Austin’s Molly Burch opens.
“Unforeseen construction delays” were the reasons cited for moving the grand opening to this weekend. All is moving forward in time for the venue to host Oaktopia next weekend as planned, as the festival moved from Denton where bands headlined outdoors on the Square to Dallas and the 12,500 square-foot space. Deep Ellum Live was the last incarnation of show space at 2727 Canton St. It closed in 2004.
You can find tickets to Saturday’s show at Canton Hall’s website.
Upcoming dates according to a press release:
November 17 & 18: Oaktopia 2017 featuring A-Trak B2B Baauer, Infected Mushroom, Hippie Sabotage, Chrome Sparks and more
November 25: Paul Oakenfold
December 2: Roger Creager
