The Black Keys Steal the Show at EdgeFest22

EdgeFest22

Sunday afternoon thousands of hipsters, edgeheads, and an entire new breed of young rockers ascended upon the FC Dallas Stadium in Frisco, TX for the 22nd annual EdgeFest. Every year 102.1 The Edge puts on a day of music with some of the biggest bands in rock ‘n roll. Sixteen bands played on two stages throughout the day but I was really there to see one band in particular, The Black Keys.

To say I’m a huge Black Keys fan is a massive understatement. Ever since my husband loaded me up with a road trip playlist featuring the band's early recordings a few years back, I've been absolutely enamored with the bluesy duo. So when I heard they were headlining EdgeFest there was no question where I'd be spending my Sunday night.

Weekend Earth Day EDGEFEST Smashup

Music from local, regional & high atop the Billboard charts will be available in Dallas this weekend if you so choose to partake.
This Saturday will kickoff the 2012 edition for Earth Day Dallas featuring some great local and regional music acts like Air Review, Datahowler, Jessie Frye & the main act for the night Amos Lee.
All the live music events will be held at the band shell in Fair Park starting around 10:45am on Saturday morning.

Earth Yoga, Home and Garden Workshops & Green Talk Speaker Series will round out the two day pro-enviro schedule of events this year.
For runners who don't mind an early start check in around 8:30am for the DFW Truck Farm 5k Fun Run which will help local schools.

1992 was the first year EDGEFEST rattled ear drums at the Starplex in Dallas feat. Pearl Jam & The Origin.

Fastforward to this Sunday April 21st and EDGEFEST 22 has a serious lineup in store at FC Dallas Stadium including: The Features, The Ting Tings, Blue October, Evanescence + more on the second stage - Main Stage will feature Switchfoot, Neon Trees, Arctic Monkeys, Cage the Elephant, Cake and the headliner for the night The Black Keys.
