The most recent event I can find confirming Behemoth stopped in OKC was in 2012 when two festivals met in the same spot with Watain, The Devil's Blood, Cannibal Corpse, and others. Fantastic show, by the way.

    Looks like the show you're talking about was Goatwhore headlining and Black Crown Initiate either co-headlining or opening; Dischordia opened that show. There was no Behemoth at that one.
    When I got home from work, I looked up my ticket and you are totally right. I thought it was separate concerts. Wrong. I saw Behemoth somewhere else, but I can find my ticket for it or remember where. /shrug

    I think you are referring to the exterior and surroundings, in which case I agree that there is still plenty worth improving there. But for the record the room itself is now excellent - first rate, really - since the recent renovation. I have very high expectations for the Criterion too, but at the end of the day I think booth venues will be very similar in quality. The Chevy is a jewel of a room.

    First red dirt concert announced.... Randy Rogers Band May 21st.

    Also the Let's Dance tour... "Let’s Dance is a U.S. concert tour starring today’s most popular hip-hop choreographed dance music (CDM) artists, Silento, iLOVEMemphis (fka iHEARTMemphis), DLOW, We Are Toonz and 99 Percent." on April 1st.

    Pretty diverse group of first announcements.

    BTW, I've been meaning to mention that Live Nation does not have exclusive booking rights for the Critierion.

    Rather, they are contracted for a certain number each year then the Levelland group (Wormy Dog, Tower Theater) can book the rest of time.


    One other thing with Live Nation... There are some acts that are contracted with them exclusively and they literally can't play a venue other than those with agreements with Live Nation.

    I've always appreciated hip hop as a dance genre, but ever since I first saw Fik-Shun I've been even more intrigued...



    Just a good excuse to share this classic....

    Fik Shun is an amazing hip hop dancer. He won Sytycd last year I believe.

    I really hope it is their DJ set. They were phenomenal at EDC last summer!

    Today was just finally the official announcement and it hit their website ect. but they did put in Gazette last week but that was only place the show was listed.
    seeing the full list of dates added for Disclosure I know we had compared the Bomb Factory to Criterion as far as size of venue for shows. they also Are playing Bomb factory.

  14. Default Re: Criterion Concert Hall

    One thing I just noticed about the Disclosure concert... They're playing in Dallas the night before on a Thursday, and then OKC that Friday. It looks like they're making an effort to book far out in advance and on Thursday/Friday nights which will be a welcome change.

They have already put in those sidewalks and completely red-done the intersection at Sheridan and there are also new sidewalks on the south side of Sheridan and there will be on both sides all the way to Lincoln once the Steelyard and all those projects are complete.

    I'm hoping the P180 type redo in Bricktown looks like this! Nice wide sidewalks and crosswalks with two-lane roads and a center turn lane. Very few on-street parking spaces is good with me too. Sheridan like this west to the tracks, Reno from Lincoln to the tracks.

    Would we ever consider having parking in the middle lane when not close to an intersection, to be used as a turn lane? I know large cities on the east coast have this type of parking. Curious if OKC would do it too?

    They are starting to do this in Cbus. Moving on-street parking into the middle is also a cool way to free up space and cheaply "protect" a bike lane:

    Hauling A now... There were a bunch of people working on Sunday trying to get the brick work finished.

    They've got shows coming up fast.

    Now that it's dried in the interior will come together pretty quickly. Advantage of having a mostly wide-open space inside. The exterior doesn't have to be done until the week of the first show, though obviously they will want to be done before that.

    Nice. That is exactly the type of heritage act I figured it would attract when I mentioned other acts like James Taylor and Bob Dylan. That is precisely the type of act for which we didn't have an optimal venue, until the Bricktown Chevy remodel and now the Criterion. Good stuff.

    i'm curious to see if the allman show will be seated, seeing as how many of his fans are older.

    Also posted this in OKCFest thread, but...where is all of this Red Dirt and country that you and Chris keep griping about? Here is a listing of pretty much every major (and most smaller) shows booked in the entire state: Shows

    Tulsa has many more shows than OKC (especially before the Criterion comes online), but also has WAY more Red Dirt and Americana or country. Your assertions are completely invalid.

    Incidentally - and I love Gregg Allman - but curious why you chose to ask people to support one of the most country-influenced artists currently booked at The Criterion if you hate country so much? Why not support Disclosure or Kirk Franklin?
