Addison, Texas -- Taste Addison’s decades-long dedication to bringing top-tier performances to North Texas is evident yet again in its 2025 music lineup. From April 25-27, renowned national headliners and talented regional and local artists will perform across seven performance areas throughout Addison Circle Park.

Silversun Pickups

On Friday at 10:00 p.m., festivalgoers will be treated to the alternative rock of Silversun Pickups on the WFAA Main Stage. Best known for its mix of shoegaze and indie rock, the SoCal natives’ debut album Carnavas featured hits like “Lazy Eye” and follow-up albums like Swoon and Better Nature further established the band’s dynamic, atmospheric sounds and emotive live performances. Silversun Pickups’ latest release, Physical Thrills, contains some of the band’s most stunning songs yet.

The party continues Saturday as Hoobastank takes the WFAA Main Stage at 10:00 p.m. The California rock band is best known for hit singles “The Reason,” “Crawling in the Dark,” “Running Away” and “Remember Me” – with “The Reason” going 4x platinum and racking up nearly 4 billion streams.

Hoobastank

With TikTok and Netflix’s Beef reigniting its mainstream popularity, Hoobastank has more than 9 million dedicated Spotify listeners and continues to celebrate its success with sold-out shows and appearances at some of the country’s top festivals.

Sunday’s headliner is Wade Bowen, presented by KHYI 95.3 The Range. Texas born and bred and a Red Raider alum, Bowen digs deep in the Red Dirt country music sounds that define the great states of Texas and Oklahoma. Starting his career in the early 2000s, he toured relentlessly and built a strong following on the backs of such hits as “Songs About Trucks” and “When I Woke Up Today,” earning acclaim for his heartfelt lyrics and distinctive voice. His most recent single, “Friday Night,” features Cowboys great Troy Aikman in its video.

Bowen will take the stage at 4:30 p.m., closing out the WFAA Main Stage performances.

The beats continue throughout the 12-acre park with six additional performance areas, each with its own vibe:

  • Guests can travel the world as they experience live entertainment from international musicians including Los Gran Reyes and the All Around Czechs on the WorldBeats Stage and performers spanning more than 10 countries on the WorldBeats Dance Floor.
  • The festival’s Corkyard and Speakeasy will provide a live soundtrack of easy listening, jazz and blues acts to enjoy while sipping your way through wine and spirit tastings.
  • The Blue Dot Spot, located in the heart of the park, will feature dynamic local and regional talent geared toward families, including jugglers, puppet artists, fire dancers and magicians.
  • And new this year, Blackbox 30, located inside The Addison Performing Arts Centre, will feature the Kindred Jazz Band performing as silk aerialists spin through the air in dazzling performances.
