On Saturday, Levitt Pavilion transforms into a time machine for the Do Good Fest Texas, presenting a lineup that'll have you dusting off old yearbooks and questioning where your Tamagotchis went. Headlining the evening are Collective Soul, supported by Tonic and Fastball, in a benefit concert that capitalizes on the lucrative appeal of nostalgia to raise funds for the Tarrant Area Food Bank, per the City of Arlington.

Starting with a minimum donation of $10, attendees can reconnect with the decade of flannel and frosted tips while feeding families in North Texas. With every ticket, they're helping to strum the strings of community unity—plus, they get to revel in music that once blasted from every mall's PA system. The festival, as per a report from Levitt Pavilion Arlington, is also hosting Beats for Good, a competition where high school bands battle it out for a chance to feature alongside the old school rockers and snag some cash, and that's not all, their school's music program also gets a financial boost.

For those feeling extra, the VIP experience might just be the ticket; offering perks like an open bar, terrace seating with prime stage views, and swag bags that probably include something inflatable or neon—because, let's face it, that was the style currency of the 90s. However, there are rules: no coolers, no gratis entry—the event is ticketed, which is a bit of a departure from the Pavilion's usual fare.
