Oak Point Park and Nature Preserve isn’t typically associated with the sounds of alt-rock bands like Blue October and the bluesy vibes of Alabama Shakes. On May 3 and 4, however, music from these groups and more will fill the prairie-like atmosphere at the first time ever Plano music festival, Suburbia.

World-class artists like NEEDTOBREATHE, David Guetta, Tegan and Sara, Third Eye Blind, Twenty One Pilots, American Authors, Violent Femmes, Slightly Stoopid, Ishi, J. Cole, SoMo and The Rocketboys are set to perform. The two-day event will take place in earthy surroundings on the Meadow, Prairie and Cedar Room stage areas.

“I think it’s cool,” senior Matt Saari said. “It’s a pretty big open field so I’m glad it’s like that and not just in seats.”

Saari will be attending the music fest. He said he is mostly looking forward to seeing Twenty One Pilots, American Authors and Slightly Stoopid.

“I haven’t been to a lot of music festivals, but I have been to a few concerts around and I do think it will be better than most because it has a lot of variety,” Saari said.

One-day passes are on sale for $59.50 and two-day passes are $99.50. Compared to other one-day music festivals, this one is a bit cheaper. General admission this year for Edgefest, an annual festival in Frisco, for example, was around $88.

In addition to music, attendees will also be able to enjoy food truck cuisine from a wide variety of Plano food trucks like Urban Crust, Bobaddiction, Cajun Tailgaters, Bombay Street Food, Cajun Tailgators, County Fair and Conway Corndogs. While music fills viewers’ ears, anything from pizza to gyros to funnel cakes can fill their plates.

Some newspapers have speculated that with this line-up, Suburbia could be up there with music festivals like Coachella and Bonnaroo. Several students said they are not able to attend the event because it falls on the same weekend as prom. Senior Jordan Pearson said he is upset he will not be able to attend, but he hopes the festival will continue to grow over the years.

“I hope it will bring more talent to the Metroplex and attract more talent over the years and hopefully it’ll get bigger and be a bigger concert on the same level as Austin City Limits and stuff like that,” Pearson said.

The venue is about a 45-minute drive away. The complete lineup can be found here: http://suburbiamusicfest.com/line-up/
