    Music Matters

    Houston's music festival grows up: The star acts of the new Free Press Summer Fest lineup are . . .

    Elizabeth Rhodes
    Feb 12, 2014 | 1:59 pm

    The much-anticipated 2014 lineup for Free Press Summer Fest is out. With everyone from folk-favorite Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros to country crooner Dwight Yoakam included this year, there really seems to be something for everyone.

    Since starting six years ago, Free Press Summer Fest has grown from an estimated 30,000 attendance in 2009 to nearly 100,000 last year. Houston's premier music festival takes place May 31 and June 1 at Eleanor Tinsley Park.

    Here are the highlights of the new lineup:

    Jack White

    Since parting ways with Meg in 2011, Jack White has been, well, rather all over the place. Going from The Raconteurs to The Dead Weather and now focusing on his solo career, White has done it all. With a blues-y type of rock-and-roll that anyone can appreciate (see: "Sixteen Saltines"), the Detroit darling is the ultimate festival headliner (you really can't afford to miss him).

    Vampire Weekend

    This indie rock four-piece band, known most widely for its 2008 self-titled album which featured hits "Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa," "Mansard Roof" and "Oxford Comma," actually started at New York's Columbia University. Vampire Weekend took that initial success and ran with it, releasing two more albums in only two years, both receiving critical and popular acclaim.

    If you're headed to Summer Fest to have fun, nothing makes a better soundtrack than the pop-rock of Vampire Weekend.

    Lauryn Hill

    Perhaps best known as a member of 1990s hip-hop group, the Fugees, Lauryn Hill has had quite the solo career as an R&B singer, including the 1999 smash hit single, "Doo Wop (That Thing)" (not to mention her incredible rendition of "Killing Me Softly"). In spite of her truly one-of-a-kind vocal skills, Hill only recently returned to the stage after taking a long sabbatical from performing, so don't miss this amazing opportunity to see her live.

    Childish Gambino

    While you may know Donald Glover by his Community name, you ought to know him as Childish Gambino since he's bound for hip-hop stardom. His second studio album, Because the Internet — replete with electro-hip-hop stunners like "Crawl" and "Sweatpants" — is more than enough to convince you to check him out.

    Die Antwoord

    Ninja and Yo-landi's style may not be for everyone, but with thumping bass and spitfire lyrics, it's hard not to get on board with the South African duo's brand of hip-hop. After gaining attention with 2009's hit single "Enter the Ninja" from their $O$ album, Die Antwoord has gained a prolific following in the United States. Check out tracks "I Fink U Freeky" and "Fatty Boom Boom" from 2012's Ten$ion if you're ready to be converted to their "rap-rave" style.

    Award-winning Selena Quintanilla documentary to debut on Netflix

    Selena y Los Dinos was produced by her siblings Suzette and A.B. Quintanilla.

    A documentary about late Tejano singer Selena Quintanilla-Pérez that made a splash at SXSW in Austin is coming to Netflix this winter, the streaming service has confirmed.

    Selena y Los Dinos premiered at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival, and had its Texas debut at SXSW in March. The film racked up awards at both film festivals, including the 2025 SXSW Audience Award in the 24 Beats Per Second category, which focused on musical stories.

    "We are so excited to finally share that our documentary Selena y Los Dinos is coming to Netflix!" said executive producer Suzette Quintanilla in a release. "Grateful to have a platform that helps bring Selena’s story to fans around the world."

    The documentary gives a never-before-seen look into Selena's upbringing and her rise to fame as the "Queen of Tejano Music" alongside her siblings, A.B. III and Suzette. It describes a family rising above financial hardship in the name of making music, while also revealing the close connections that were formed between bandmembers Ricky Vela, Pete Astudillo, and Chris Pérez, who married Selena in 1992.

    The film also recalls the fateful day the 23-year-old singer was shot and killed by her former fan club president, Yolanda Saldívar, on March 31, 1995.

    Directed by Isabel Castro, Selena y Los Dinos feels like a love letter to the late singer from those that knew her the best. Castro told Netflix that she wanted to honor the singer's legacy while also unveiling "new dimensions" of her path to stardom.

    "I am deeply grateful to her family for their trust and support throughout this journey, and I can’t wait for a global audience to experience the magic, heart and community that Selena gave to all of us," Castro said.

    According to Deadline, the streaming deal is estimated to be between $6 to $7 million.
