The Wildflower! Arts & Music Festival is May 17-19 at Galatyn Park Urban Center and this marks the 32nd year of the family-friendly celebration presented by Methodist Richardson Medical Center.<\/span><\/p>\n

Among the 2024 headliners is Nile Rodgers & CHIC, who pioneered a musical language that generated chart-topping hits like \u201cLe Freak,\u201d and sparked the advent of hip-hop with the 1979 soul single \u201cGood Times.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Randy Rogers Band is an authentic definition of Texas country music as heard in their recent album Homecoming with songs like \u201cSmall Town Girl Goodbye\u201d and \u201cLeaving Side of Town.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The song that most notably launched AWOLNATION is the chart-topping, record-breaking, diamond-certified track \u201cSail\u201d that has sold more than 10 million copies since its debut.<\/span><\/p>\n

Indie pop alternative rock band GROUPLOVE is comprised of five eclectic musicians best known for \u201cTongue Tied\u201d released on their debut album Never Trust A Happy Song that topped charts around the world.<\/span><\/p>\n

KC and the Sunshine Band are still as widely popular today as they were when they first danced into the music scene 50 years ago. With sales of over 100 million records, nine Grammy nominations, three Grammy Awards and an American Music Award, KC and the Sunshine Band was one of the most progressive bands of the 70s and today plays over 100 live shows a year.<\/span><\/p>\n
