This premier venue hosts a remarkable lineup of major concerts, family shows, sporting events — including University of Texas women's and men's basketball games — and various community gatherings. A unique partnership between Oak View Group, Live Nation/C3 Presents, The University of Texas at Austin, and Matthew McConaughey, the Minister of Culture, operates the Moody Center. This collaboration elevates the venue’s prestige and service excellence, highlighted by accolades such as being named Arena of the Year by both Pollstar and the Academy of Country Music.
The Moody Center is dedicated to creating dynamic and electric entertainment experiences that captivate audiences and enhance the cultural fabric of Austin and beyond. The team at Moody Center values its employees as its greatest assets, fostering an inclusive, empowering, and inspiring work culture.
