Beyond sports, the American Airlines Center hosts a wide range of concerts and live shows featuring top international touring acts from pop, rock, country and more. Big names like Beyoncé, Elton John, Bruno Mars and Justin Timberlake have all performed here, making it one of the most popular concert stops in the Southwest. You’ll also find family‑friendly productions like *Disney on Ice*, comedy tours, WWE and special one‑night shows that draw big crowds. The venue’s flexible seating and floor allows it to change from a sports arena to a concert hall or event space in no time. That means you can see everything from WWE *SmackDown* to arena rock shows in the same year. Other community events, award shows and large‑scale indoor festivals sometimes call the AAC home as well. It’s basically the go‑to indoor location in Dallas for pretty much any big‑ticket event you can think of.
