Two-day electronic music festival, Ubbi Dubbi, comes to Globe Life Park in Arlington, Texas April 18th and 19th. The festival is to host four stages of the hottest dance music artists in the industry including Kaskade, Illenium, Adventure Club, Seven Lions, and more.

Based off of last year’s success, the event will move to Globe Life Park which offers a larger venue for the annual springtime celebration as well as a convenient location for travelers coming from all parts of the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area. The event has official hotels listed on the website to for those coming in from out of town.
