15 of the Best Indie Venues in Dallas/Fort Worth/Denton (DFW) Area for New Indie Artists
If you have a new indie band in the Metroplex and you’ve finally gotten good enough to start playing outside your mom’s basement, it could be time to start booking gigs at the indie venues in Dallas, Fort Worth, and Denton, Texas. Before Superpages.com Music Center (formally Smirnoff, before that Coca Cola Starplex) and the American Airlines Center come calling, you may be setting your hopes a little high when first starting out getting gigs and booking venues for your indie band.
Smaller venues that embrace indie bands and unsigned artists are your best bet. Although there are 100s of bars and music venues in the Dallas/Fort Worth/Denton area, there are a few that once you are on the rotation, the others will soon follow suit once you have built your street cred. With that said, here are 15 of the Best Indie Venues in Dallas/Fort Worth/Denton Texas Area for New Indie Artists starting with Six of the Best Indie Rock Venues in Dallas, Texas.
