The Tailgate: Bringing top-tier live entertainment to the Basin
MIDLAND, Texas (KMID/KPEJ)- Opening in 2021, The Tailgate has quickly become Midland's go-to concert venue. When co-owners Ariel Herrera, Sean Elphick, and J.D. Granato first came up with the idea, it was originally going to be a food truck park. But after collective thinking, they launched a business that's hosted some of music's biggest names and up-and-comers. The already-announced lineup for this concert season includes some big names such as Robert Earl Keen, Randy Rogers, and Shane Smith and the Saints. Currently, The Tailgate has announced their lineup through late June, but the season will continue until November with new acts being announced periodically. Of the already announced lineup, over half the artists are based in the Lone Star State. 'All three of us, me, Shawn, and J.D. are all from Texas,' said Ariel. 'We love Texas and definitely want to support artists from Texas. That means a lot to us and so I think it's amazing seeing artists like Treaty Oak Revival, you know, start here and get so much bigger.' Announced 2025 Lineup Robert Earl Keen: Saturday, March 22nd Randy Rogers: Wednesday, March 26th Shane Smith and the Saints: Friday, March 28th Priscilla Block: Friday, April 4th The Spazmatics: Saturday, April 5th Kolby Cooper: Thursday, May 1st Sommer Ray + the Montana Boyz: Saturday, May 17th Aaron Watson: Friday, June 6th Ty Myers: Thursday, June 26th Owner Q&A What's your favorite song out of all the artists that have performed here? 'The one I was the most excited to do is Heaven by Los Lonely Boys. I was so excited to see them. I grew up listening to that song with my family and belting it out with my siblings in the car and so that show is just the most meaningful to me.' Past or present, who is your favorite artist to play here? 'I love William Beckman. He has an amazing voice and I think he was most surprising. I had never heard him live before and he just really took it away.' What's a dream act that you would like to get here someday? 'I would love to have T-Pain. We're working on it. I think that one would be such a fun one. If I had to rank them I'd do T-Pain, Megan Maroney, Parker McCollum. Red Clay Strays is another one, I mean they would be really great out here, I love them.' The Tailgate Details The Tailgate is open Friday from 4:00 pm to 12:00 am and on Saturday and Sunday from 11:00 am to 12:00 am.
