Spring is about to get louder and more fun in Downtown Arlington. Levitt Pavilion Arlington, our destination outdoor live music venue, is kicking off its 2025 free concert season the weekend of April 25 and 26. The lineup is packed with big names, local talent and musical genres for every fan.
If you’re new to the Levitt experience, here’s the headline: a guarantee of 50 amazing concerts, all free, all outdoors, all season long, and just named Best Summer Music Series by D Magazine. Whether you're into country, soul, classical, Tejano, rock or something in between, this year's lineup is sure to be a hit.
🎶 Let the Music Begin
On Friday, April 25, the spring season opener Josh Weathers returns with his electric blend of rock and soul, opened by Goldpine, a Nashville Americana duo known for their heartfelt harmonies. Then on Saturday, April 26, Grammy-nominated Tejano group La Diferenzia will take the stage following San Antonio’s Angelica y Grupo Moneda.

Looking ahead, May is stacked with standout acts. Here are a few:
- May 2- Kin Faux brings Texas Red Dirt vibes with September Moon opening.
- May 3- Classical pianist Clayton Stephenson launches the much-loved Countdown to the Cliburn series.
- May 10- Country-rock band Eddie and the Getaway opened by Cole Barnhill keep the momentum going.
And then there’s DreamFest 2025—a three-day musical celebration over Memorial Day weekend, headlined by R&B legends The Drifters (May 23), Texas country star William Clark Green (May 24), and Tejano icon Ram Herrera (May 25).
Then, the summer series spans June through early July and features the Arlington Juneteenth Celebration headlined by NOLA funk powerhouse Big Sam’s Funky Nation on June 21, Selena tribute artist Tejano Queen Forever on June 27, and Levitt fan favorite Brad Thompson at Light Up Arlington on July 3.

The fall series opens Labor Day Weekend with Grammy-nominated polka legends Brave Combo and continues through October with signature events such as the Hispanic Heritage Celebration, the Asian Heritage Celebration and Do Good Fest Texas.
Levitt is also keeping things fresh with returning favorites like the Youth Spotlight, showcasing talented Arlington-area student vocalists, and the Levitt Living Room Series, livestreaming select concerts for fans at home.
🛍️ Come Early, Stay Late
Levitt shows aren’t just about the music—they’re about the full Downtown Arlington experience. With so many concerts starting around 7:30 p.m., it’s the perfect excuse to make a night of downtown exploring.
Start your evening with a local brew or pre-show cocktail at one of the many local bars and pubs on our [online registry] or try out a few retro arcade games at Cidercade. Want something more low-key? The UTA Planetarium is a short walk away and offers immersive stargazing shows that are perfect before a night under the stars at the Levitt.
After the show, refuel at legendary local spots like J. Gilligan’s, home of the world-famous Irish Nachos, or grab a late-treat from Insomnia Cookies. There’s also a rotating vendor market on select nights, so you can shop local while soaking up the sounds.

- Free parking is available in most nearby city lots and garages.
