Edgefest history and lineups
editEdgefest was held annually from 1992 (#1) to 2017 (#27), except in 2008 when it was held twice (#17 and #18). The event was primarily held in the spring (April, May, and June) except 2004 (August 7) and the fall event in 2008 (October 25). Edgefest was held primarily at two venues throughout its history. The first was the outdoor amphitheater at Fair Park in Dallas, Texas (named Coca-Cola Starplex Amphitheatre, Starplex Amphitheatre and Smirnoff Music Centre) from 1992 to 1997, and 1999 to 2005. The second primary venue was Toyota Stadium, the home soccer stadium for FC Dallas soccer club in Frisco, Texas (previously known as Pizza Hut Park and FC Dallas Stadium), from 2006 to 2017. The one exception to the two primary venues during its history was Edgefest #7 in 1998 when it was held at The Ballpark in Arlington in Arlington, Texas, home of the Texas Rangers baseball team.[2][3]
