Dallas: Indigo Girls at the Majestic Theatre

Indigo Girls, the folk-rock duo of Amy Ray and Emily Saliers, play the Majestic Theatre in downtown Dallas on Sunday, September 27, with Linda Perry opening. Tickets start at $71.

Indigo Girls have been writing close-harmony folk-rock together since forming at Emory University in the early 1980s, breaking through with their 1989 self-titled major-label debut and the Grammy-winning single “Closer to Fine.” Over more than a dozen studio albums, the duo has built a devoted following on socially conscious songwriting and vocal harmonies that remain instantly recognizable, and their catalog found a new generation of listeners after “Closer to Fine” featured prominently in the 2023 film “Barbie.” Opener Linda Perry, a former 4 Non Blondes frontwoman turned prolific songwriter and producer for artists like Pink and Christina Aguilera, brings her own decades of catalog to the bill.

The Majestic Theatre has anchored downtown Dallas since it opened in April 1921, a Renaissance Revival vaudeville palace designed by architect John Eberson for showman Karl Hoblitzelle, complete with an atmospheric ceiling meant to evoke a starlit sky. It closed as a movie house in 1973, was donated to the City of Dallas in 1976, and reopened after restoration in 1983 as a performing-arts venue that the city still owns and operates today. The 1,570-seat theater keeps its five-story marble lobby and ornate cage elevator intact. Read more on its Texas Music Map venue page. Being a fully seated theater, every ticket here comes with an actual seat rather than standing room.

A fully seated theater show suits Indigo Girls’ set well — expect an evening built around close vocal harmony and acoustic-forward arrangements rather than a standing-room rock show, in a room designed nearly a century ago for exactly that kind of intimate listening.

Doors typically open about an hour ahead of the show; the Majestic sits in the Dallas Arts District with several downtown parking garages nearby.
