An evening honoring Gary P. Nunn
H.O.M.E. with the Armadillo
ACL Live at the Moody Theater
310 W Willie Nelson Blvd, Austin, TXGary P. Nunn wrote the song that sent Austin “home with the Armadillo.” Now Austin returns the favor with a night in his honor at the Moody Theater, benefitting H.O.M.E., Housing Opportunities for Musicians and Entertainers, so the people who made this music can stay in the city they built.
Expect a star-studded evening of musical performances and special guests.
Armadillo World Headquarters was never just a venue. It was a movement: an icon of Austin cool that stood for music, art, and mavericks. It returns as a symbol for the weird, the inclusive, and the wildly creative, with a renewed mission to support local artists, honor the past, and invite the community to help shape what comes next.
A Cultural Revival
The ‘Dillo was the Austin venue where rednecks and hippies shared one dance floor, where Willie, Waylon, Emmylou, Zappa and Springsteen all played, and where an old National Guard armory helped make Austin the Live Music Capital of the World.
ARMADILLO
Our temporary activation on South Congress re-launched the spirit of the Armadillo, and set the stage for things to come.
