Good Times Fest Takes Over The Garden In Lubbock's Depot District Sept 10-12 With Three Nights Of Live Music - FMX 94.5

The event kicks off Thursday, September 10 with Discovery Night, which centers on a Battle of the Bands featuring five local acts: Slander, Wasted Potential, Leon Carrasco, Bongo Sol, and All About Alice. My Serenity will also perform that night as a special addition alongside the competition. Each band is playing for the title, so Thursday has a little more edge to it than your typical festival opener.

Friday, September 11 is Good Night, though the source material cuts off before the full lineup for that evening is confirmed. Saturday rounds out the weekend with the same gap. What is confirmed: three nights, three distinct themes, and at least one Battle of the Bands to set the tone.

For people in the Depot District and anyone who frequents The Garden, this means a full weekend of outdoor music at one of the more reliably active spots on that stretch of Buddy Holly Ave. The venue's open-air setup makes it a different experience than catching a show indoors, and the local Battle of the Bands gives Lubbock acts a real shot at something.

Five local bands competing on the same night that opens a three-day festival is a tough draw for whoever goes last.
