We love concerts; You love ’em, I love ’em & Texas certainly loves concerts. But which ones were the biggest concerts ever held in Texas? We have the top 6 biggest ones to ever make Texas history.
Selena at the Houston Astrodome (February 26, 1995):
Over 61,000 people attended the sold out show & I don’t think anyone would’ve ever expected what would happen after the show. But all those fans got to be part of history; the live concert would be released posthumously & be titled “Selena LIVE! The Last Concert“.
Today the Astrodome sits abandoned, with people going back to look through the history of the building. But never forget the memories it gave us & never forget Selena.
Los Tigres Del Norte at the Houston Astrodome (March, 10 2019)
While Selena had the biggest attended show at the Astrodome, that wasn’t the biggest in Houston. THAT record goes to Los Tigres Del Norte in 2019. 75,586 fans attended the Houston Rodeo show & that would beat the previous record: Cardi B’s concert that same year. 75,580 saw Cardi B perform….Los Tigres Del Norte beat her record by just 6 people… that’s impressive.
George Strait at AT&T Stadium (June 7, 2014):
George holds the record of having the highest attended record inside the home of the Dallas Cowboys: AT&T Stadium. At his farewell concert, 104,793 fans watched George along with Eric Church, Miranda Lambert, Alan Jackson, Kenny Chesney & more. A ton of country legends are saying farewell to The King Of Country.
This wouldn’t be the only record broken that night:
- it was the largest attendance at a single-show concert in United States history,
- the largest “indoor” concert in U.S. history,
- and it was also highest grossing single-show country concert at a whopping $18,194,374
Considering this concert NEARLY beat the attendance record of the very first Cowboys home game, that’s pretty impressive…
