Texas Regional Radio Music Awards Light Up Arlington Tonight

Arlington, Texas — March 23, 2026 — Arlington takes center stage tonight as the Texas Regional Radio Music Awards (T3R) return to Texas Live! for one of the most anticipated nights in Texas and Red Dirt music. Artists, radio professionals, chart reporters, and fans from across the region are gathering to celebrate the people and stations who helped shape the genre over the past year.

A Night Built Around the Heart of Texas Music

The T3R Awards remain the only officially recognized Texas/Red Dirt chart and awards program, honoring the songs, albums, venues, festivals, radio stations, and industry professionals who made a measurable impact statewide.

Why It Matters

For the Texas music community, the T3R Awards represent more than yearly accolades. They reflect the strength, independence, and statewide support that keep the Texas/Red Dirt scene thriving.
