Featured Artist
We are excited to announce Plain White T’s as this year’s Featured Artist!
Since emerging in 1997, Chicago quartet Plain White T's — Tom Higgenson [vocals], Tim Lopez [lead guitar, vocals], Mike Retondo [bass], and De'Mar Hamilton [drums] — have remained visible and viable. They have amassed over 2.7 billion total global streams, earned two Grammy nominations, and collected several Platinum-plus and Gold certifications across their impressive catalog. Their signature single "Hey There Delilah" went quadruple-platinum, topped the Billboard Hot 100, and earned the pair of aforementioned GRAMMY® nominations in 2008 — for "Song of the Year" and "Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal." Known for their infectious energy and heartfelt lyrics, Plain White T’s brought their greatest hits and fresh tracks to UTSA exclusively for BestFest 2024.
Family Association
The Family Association will partner with the Student Involvement Center to host a Family Get Together area, within the BestFest grounds, as a part of the Homecoming and Family Weekend collaborative festivities.
Roadrunner families are invited to enjoy BestFest with their student and to attend other family focused events during the weekend. Visit the UTSA Family Association website to see the complete list of Family Weekend festivities as they get finalized.
