DALLAS — Hallelujah, it is the weekend!
Listen y'all, whether you're looking for a way to listen to all your favorite musicians at once, an excuse to get down on some fried chicken or a way to cool down from this record May heat, there's something for everyone happening in North Texas this weekend.
So here's the best of the best.
Friday
So What?! Music Festival at Choctaw Stadium (Arlington)
Picture this: You're surrounded. Immersed. Ears wide open, only hearing your favorite bands. You don't have to use your imagination this weekend -- you can make it your reality at the So What?! Music Festival in Arlington! Music fans, this festival will feature more than 200 bands, seven stages and enough music to rock your socks off. It doesn't stop there though, no way. There are three different days featuring three different genres of music! And trust me, there are some heavy hitters on the lineup. 3OH!3, Rae Sremmurd, Simple Plan, 2Chainz -- I could go on, but you get what I'm saying (this is a big deal). You can go all three days or buy individual day passes! Daily tickets start around $110. Check out the So What?! Music Festival all weekend, starting Friday, at Choctaw Stadium.
