History
In 2007, voters in Irving agreed to finance an entertainment center near Texas State Highway 114. In 2014, The ARK Group announced that a new entertainment district near the Irving Convention Center was planned for Irving, Texas.
The venue was originally scheduled to open as the "Irving Music Factory" on September 1, 2017, with a live performance by comedian Dave Chappelle. However, construction delays caused the September 1 opening to be cancelled. On September 8, The ARK Group announced that venue was being renamed the Toyota Music Factory and would open the following day with a ZZ Top concert as its inaugural event. The venue formally opened on September 9.
