ABOUT

"Willie's picnic for a new generation" is how the Austin Chronicle described Dia De Los Toadies, an annual concert hosted by Toadies. Toadies guitarist Clark Vogeler says "The Dia keeps getting better every year. Last year's festival was without doubt the best weekend of the year. it always feels like a big family reunion with a great soundtrack. It was always the plan to keep moving the festival every year, but the location at White Water in New Braunfels seems like it was designed specifically for this festival. There are multiple stages, lots of shade, and the ever-flowing Guadelupe River there to cool us all down whenever we want."

Possum Kingdom Lake - 2008

The first Dia De Los Toadies took place over Labor Day weekend 2008 at Possum Kingdom Lake. Toadies were joined by friends Tejas Brothers, Lions, Dove Hunter and Backsliders. The show was an incredible success, selling out in advance.

The second Dia De Los Toadies took place on Saturday, Aug 29, 2009 near Rough Creek Ranch in Glen Rose where Toadies were joined by friends The Secret Machines, Bowling for Soup, Ben Kweller, Eleven Hundred Springs and The Boom Boom Box. The third Dia took place at Whitewater and featured an all star Texas line up of Black Joe Lewis and the Honeybears, Heartless Bastards, Centro-matic, Sleepercar, Girl in a Coma, Two Tons of Steel and The Bright Light Social Hour. Vogeler goes on to say "I especially dig the eclectic nature of our lineups. Each of us in the band picks music that we want to share with our fans, and each other. I love that you can hear some quiet acoustic stuff, some country-ish honkey-tonk stuff, and of course, lots of Texas rock and roll."
