Here's the lineup on the Pegasus News stage -- including a secret, special guest on Sunday afternoon.

DEEP ELLUM — UPDATE: We have added a special guest midday on Sunday that we ~~cannot unveil until noon on Friday~~ just announced. Click here!

Join Pegasus News at the Deep Ellum Arts Festival on April 1, 2, and 3. We are again sponsoring a stage with three days of local music -- all to showcase the great bands in North Texas and to celebrate Deep Ellum.

In addition to PegNews' stage, located at Main Street and Good Latimer, there are four other stages around the festival and more than 120 visual artists selling their work. There's also a pet parade at noon on Sunday, April 3. In short, there's something for everyone. Come on out and see us.

We are excited to share our lineup of bands on the Pegasus News stage. Friday, we've got Luke Wade & No Civilians finishing the night. Our Saturday headliner is the Punk Rock Dinosaurs, a band who is certainly no stranger to Deep Ellum. We finish Sunday with pop rocker Andrew Tinker, who's sure to draw a crowd.

All of the bands we picked reflect the talent that we have right in Dallas-Fort Worth, and we're so glad they're joining us. Our hope is that you hear some old favorites and also get turned on to some great new bands. The full schedule is:
