Armadillo World Headquarters, Music hall and beer garden in Austin, Texas.
The Armadillo World Headquarters occupied a former National Guard armory at 525½ Barton Springs Road, featuring a concert space that accommodated 1000 guests.
Opening in 1970 after the closure of Vulcan Gas Company, this venue operated for a decade until its final concert on December 31, 1980.
The establishment attracted diverse audiences, from hippies to cowboys, creating a musical intersection where country music merged with rock performances.
Located south of downtown Austin and the Colorado River, this hall generated substantial beer sales, ranking second only to the Houston Astrodome.
Australian band AC/DC performed their first American concert at this venue in 1977, marking a significant moment in rock music history.
