Following the success of ONE Musicfest 2023, which drew in 100,000 festivalgoers and is the largest privately-owned urban music festival in the Southeast region of the country, founder Jason"J." Carter is thrilled to announce the festival's expansion to Dallas. “We looked at LA, we looked at Chicago, and we looked at Houston. We actually looked at Dallas because Dallas is one of the cities that is a cultural melting pot of such. But when it comes to a celebration of urban and Black culture, it doesn’t seem to get it. It seems to get everything else, but the moment you want to celebrate Black culture and Black music, it just seems like an overlooked city.
TwoGether Land invites music lovers from near and far to a weekend of festivities, artistic expression, and the celebration of diverse cultures. Carter explained that the event is designed to pioneer new experiences in live music and capture the spirit of the Southwest, and he chose Fair Park due to its rich history.
After the festival was announced in February, many Dallas-Fort Worth locals expressed safety concerns online. The event will occur over two days in South Dallas, an area known for high crime rates.
