LIGHTS ALL NIGHT Music Festival in Dallas Adds Chromeo, Audien & More

Highland Concerts and MCP Presents, producers of LIGHTS ALL NIGHT, have announced some special talent additions for the two-day event happening at the Dallas Convention Center on Friday, December 26 and Saturday, December 27. They include global superstar act CHROMEO (DJ set), AUDIEN, ANDREW RAYEL, ODESZA, JUSTIN JAY and WISHFM.

Now entering its fifth year as Texas' largest electronic music festival and what will be the last major music event of 2014, LIGHTS ALL NIGHT-whose early-bird tickets sold-out in record time--has seen a rapidly widening age-range and demographic within its last two years and is fine-tuning this year's festival to speak to this exciting audience growth. Its two stages will feature cutting-edge LED and lighting designs encompassing much of each room, dramatically adding to the overall music experience. In addition, LIGHTS ALL NIGHT will feature two silent discos.

Enhanced VIP and bar areas, elevated and reserved table service with prime sightlines to stages will also be one of the many new features this year. Music fans were lightly treated to the platinum experience at the LIGHTS UP HIGH lead-up events over the last few months.

Helicopter flyaways top the list of bells and whistles, as contest winners take a once-in-a-lifetime ride over Dallas with a superstar LIGHTS ALL NIGHT DJ (tba). Fans are encouraged to submit a DJ set to be considered for a performance slot or create a piece of art or costume to become part of LIGHTS ALL NIGHT via the exploration programs.

Hank Keller, President of Highland Concerts, elaborates, "Lights All Night has grown to be a fan favorite end-of-the-year event. We are excited to be producing our 5th year anniversary in Dallas, TX. We have pulled out all of the stops for this year's event." His partner and Highland Concerts CEO Scott Osburn adds: "We set out to reinforce the fact that Dallas is a world class city with a music festival that lives up to those same high standards and expectations."
