What’s more Texan than BBQ and country music? Experience all that and more at Lone Star Smokeout! 
 
Lone Star Smokeout makes its highly anticipated debut at AT&T Stadium on May 2-4, 2025, bringing the successful Windy City Smokeout concept to Texas for the first time. This festival combines iconic eats - 14 acclaimed pitmasters including 10 Texas natives like Arlington’s own Hurtado Barbecue - with chart-topping country music. We’re talkin’ Cody Jinks, Jon Pardi, Midland, and more!
