Remember music venue Deep Ellum Live? It's reopening as Canton Hall on Halloween

When it comes to music venues in D-FW, life comes at you fast. It's been a while since we heard that Deep Ellum Live, closed since 2004, would be resurrected by the good folks behind the resurgence of fellow legendary Deep Ellum venues Trees and the Bomb Factory.

But thanks to a bit of social media activity, we found out Wednesday that not only is it ready to open, but also it will be named Canton Hall. The first concert that's been announced will feature Canadian hard-rock outfit Theory of a Deadman on Oct. 31.

Some history: After opening in the '80s as a country bar, the venue was named Deep Ellum Live in 1991 and hosted a near-mythical array of iconic artists including the Cure, Smashing Pumpkins, Green Day and others. It closed in 2004.
