KAABOO Festival in Arlington Texas Boasts Legendary Lineup Including Lionel Richie

KAABOO Texas is a first-of-its-kind event that combines music, lifestyle and collaboration with an NFL ownership group.

This 2019 event has been organized together with The Jerry Jones Family, who are the well-known visionaries behind the Dallas Cowboys.

KAABOO is breaking the mold of the typical music festival and introducing a culinary experience curated by the best chefs in the country, hilarious comedy acts, contemporary art, and craft brews on top of the world-class musical performances. This will be the perfect weekend escape in Arlington, TX.

This curated three-day experience will offer a long list of amenities for all attendees inside the massive AT&T stadium. Forget standing at a stage for 14 hours with the occasional treck through mud to a toilet paperless porta-pottie a mile away from the center of the party. Instead, KAABOO will have a variety of indoor and outdoor events inside and around the AT&T stadium with ample seating and regulated flush facilities. Were there too many 20 somethings in speedos at Ultra Miami or was Coachella too much of a logistical nightmare? KAABOO is just right for grown-ups that want to cut loose and join the party too.

Bask will also serve as a mini oasis between acts with dedicated bars and games. You and your squad can rent out your own private cabana and lounge poolside throughout the weekend. Get your summer started right with a little bit of fun in the sun and total beach vibes. This is an add on to the event so you will need to purchase entrance to bask as well as your general admission (or VIP experience if you’re feeling fancy).

For anyone looking for great comedy at the festival, performers like Dennis Miller, Brad Garrett, Garfunkel and Oates, Whitney Cummings, Jim Breuer, Rory Scovel, Heather McDonald, Chad Daniels, Kate Willett, Chris “CP” Powell, and many more will perform. Humor Me is KAABOO’s air-conditioned, seated comedy club that features some of the most talented comedians in the country. Take a break from dancing, kick back with a cold beer, and laugh your ass off.

Ditch the typical festival food for artisanal cuisine that will leave your tastebuds in awe. Palate is KAABOO’s culinary experience. You can pair your food with limited productions wines, craft spirits, and brews. Expect to see local favorite Revolver Brewing for that refined Texas taste. Some featured chefs include Christof Syre, Jeremy Ford, and Michelle Bernstein.

If you’re feeling like its time to truly relax with some pampering (or a little pick me up to cure a hangover) discover a new level of spa indulgences. There will be stations on site for massages, hair blowouts, a gentleman’s hot shave, and many more services to keep you recharged throughout the weekend.

Tap into your creative side and experience artwork installations from several talented artists. This includes murals, galleries, and exhibiting artists. The Arlington Museum of Art is dedicated to champion creativity and to provide access to art for our community. They will be in attendance.
