Fresh off electrifying a sold-out crowd on the first of two nights as direct support on Morgan Wallen’s I’m The Problem Tour at Houston’s NRG Stadium, Texas native Koe Wetzel kept the party rolling with the highly anticipated grand opening of Koe Wetzel’s Riot Room Houston on Friday, June 20.
Following the groundbreaking success of the original Riot Room in Fort Worth, the Houston outpost levels up the concept with an even more immersive, unapologetically bold experience. Designed to be bigger, rowdier and more creative, the 8,000 square-foot, two-story venue sits in the heart of Midtown and can host nearly 700 guests.
True to Wetzel’s reputation for doing things his own way, Riot Room Houston pushes the limits with standout features including:
A full-sized pontoon boat bringing that “on the lake” vibe straight into the club
A DJ booth set in a full-size Ford pickup engine bay
A custom-built jail cell and bucking bull, both perfect for photo ops
A vintage pickup truck suspended on the building’s exterior
Wetzel’s lyrics in neon lighting up the space
Photos and memorabilia that bring fans closer to the music and the man behind it
The venue also boasts an upgraded kitchen with a brand-new menu, including Houston-exclusive items that make this Riot Room unlike any other.
Following the home-state shows with Wallen, Wetzel is next slated to play several prominent festival sets throughout the summer in addition to joining HARDY’s Jim Bob World Tour later this year.

About Koe Wetzel
Koe Wetzel never met a genre wall he couldn’t tear down. The Texas singer-songwriter has earned a rabid audience for his songs that mix country, rock, hip-hop and even Nineties grunge. With his defining fifth studio album, 9 Lives, released in 2024 via Columbia Records, Wetzel earned recognition on several major year-end best-of lists, including Rolling Stone, Billboard, the Tennessean and more, with the Los Angeles Times naming lead single “High Road” (feat. Jessie Murph) as the No. 8 best song of 2024 across all genres. The single not only marked Wetzel’s debut at Country radio, it also held the No. 1 spot for five weeks and became his fastest song to reach the RIAA Platinum milestone to date. Previously, his 2016 album Noise Complaint endeared him to fans with its no-holds-barred lyrics about drunken nights, broken hearts and stints in jail, and included the Gold-certified hits “Love” (feat. Parker McCollum), “Something to Talk About” plus the infamous “February 28, 2016.” Wetzel’s 2020 major label debut, Sellout, only furthered his legend with the Platinum-certified “Drunk Driving” and “Good Die Young” plus the Gold-certified “Kuntry & Wistern.” The 2022 follow-up, Hell Paso, hit No. 3 on Billboard’s Country Albums and spawned hits on both the country and rock charts, including the Gold-certified “Creeps” and “Cabo.” To date, Wetzel has amassed 3.7 billion total streams and has created a genuine experience with his live concerts, which he describes as “total chaos.” Wetzel performed for well over 200,000 fans across the U.S. in Europe in 2024, with over 96% of all headline tickets sold, in addition to playing prominent festival sets and opening for Morgan Wallen on the superstar’s One Night at a Time Stadium Tour, while 2025 sees him again embark on a year of heavy touring both as a headliner and alongside Wallen and HARDY.
