DALLAS — HomeGrown Festival in Dallas lives up to its name each year: Far from fussy or overhyped, it's one of those annual events that just organically feels hip. We called last year's event "Dallas’ best outdoor music fest."

Festival organizers announced the first [and second and third] rounds of bands playing the May 11 festival. They are:

• Divine Fits, the band of Britt Daniel, frontman of Spoon
• Larry g(EE), Dallas' own version of Bruno Mars who performed on Jimmy Kimmel recently
• Burning Hotels, Fort Worth "sex wave" band
• Madison King, Dallas soulful singer/songwriter
• Zhora, Dallas pop band fronted by Taylor Rea
• Quiet Company, Austin pop/rock band
• J Charles and the Trainrobbers, country punk band from Dallas
• Polyphonic Spree, Dallas' happy-go-lucky symphonic pop/rock band that is releasing a new album in late May
