Levitt Pavilion Arlington, one of DFW’s most popular outdoor performance venues and a signature downtown Arlington destination, kicks off its 2025 free concert season the weekend of April 25–26 with a high-energy lineup of live free music, food trucks, and a vendor market. Baylor Scott & White Orthopedic and Spine Hospital Arlington returns as the 2025 season sponsor. 

Opening the season on Fri., April 25  is Fort Worth-based rock-and-soul powerhouse Josh Weathers, a longtime Levitt fan favorite, preceded by Goldpine, a critically-noted Americana duo out of Nashville. On Sat., April 26, Grammy-nominated Tejano group La Diferenzia headlines, following a performance by Angelica y Moneda, a popular San Antonio Tejano act.

Additional noteworthy artists set to take the Levitt stage this spring include Texas Red Dirt act Kin Faux (May 2), with Fort Worth-based September Moon opening; Clayton Stephenson (May 3), an acclaimed classical pianist whose performance will launch the return of the Countdown to the Cliburn series; Austin-based rocker Emily Wolfe (May 9); country-rock band Eddie And The Getaway (May 10); and the third annual DreamFest, a block-party styled festival headlined by R&B legends The Drifters (May 23), Texas country artist William Clark Green with openers Carson Jeffrey and Shelby Stone (May 24) and Tejano legend Ram Herrera (May 25), with Grand Prairie’s Monica Saldivar opening.

“Levitt Arlington is such a special place to enjoy live free music and experience incredible talent from across Texas and across the country,” said Letatia Teykl, the Levitt’s executive director. “Our team is energized and thrilled to bring this one-of-a-kind experience to Downtown Arlington once again. Every year we say, ‘this is our best season yet’—and 2025 truly is. Come out, bring your friends and family, and see for yourself what makes the Levitt so unforgettable— we want to be at the top of your list for live music venues to visit in North Texas.” 

The 2025 Levitt Arlington concert and event season is presented in three parts:

• The spring series, running April 25 through Memorial Day Weekend. 
• The summer series, which spans June through early July and features the Arlington Juneteenth Celebration headlined by NOLA funk powerhouse Big Sam’s Funky Nation (June 21), Selena tribute artist Tejano Queen Forever (June 27), and Levitt fan favorite Brad Thompson at Light Up Arlington (July 3). 
• The fall series, which opens Labor Day Weekend with Grammy-nominated polka legends Brave Combo (August 29) and continues through October with signature events such as the Hispanic Heritage Celebration, headlined by Little Joe Y La Familia (October 4), the Asian Heritage Celebration (October 11), and Do Good Fest Texas (October 18).

Returning this year is the Levitt Youth Spotlight, which features talented student vocalists from the Arlington area performing short sets before Friday night openers; the Levitt Living Room Series, a Facebook and YouTube livestream of select concerts for music lovers who cannot attend in person; and Share the Stage, the Levitt’s ongoing commitment to booking local and Texas-based artists as opening acts throughout the season.

All concerts are free, with food trucks, picnic space, and lawn seating available. Coolers are welcome (no glass containers), and free parking is available at nearby City and Downtown Arlington lots.
