Lights All Night 2024 celebrates another fantastic edition in the heart of Dallas: [Full Review]

Lights All Night 2024 has concluded the next chapter in its long and successful history. With two full nights of a diverse lineup in Dallas, Texas, the year-end festival provided another superb experience that is arguably the best of any New Year’s Eve event. 

If you have never gotten to experience Lights All Night in Dallas, Texas, it is a must. For hardcore dance music fans, Lights All Night 2024 offers a unique experience as an event where you can celebrate the end of the year in one of the most thriving cities in the United States. With a mix of some of the best top talent in the industry and the most talked about up-and-coming artists in the genre, Lights All Night 2024 raised its bar again. 

One of the best features of Lights All Night (outside of the performers) is the atmosphere and energy that radiates from the crowd. It’s hard to explain until you see it for yourself, but the mix between the chilly weather of late December and the warehouse-style setup between the two indoor stages, as well as the outside ones, all confined within the perimeter of the Dallas Market Center, creates a very unique intimate atmosphere. The people who go to Lights All Night are some of the best attendees to experience these magical moments with. They are so incredibly passionate about the music, which makes for the best time. 

On top of that came one of the deepest lineups that Light All Night has delivered in years. Splitting the night between The Watering Hole, The Lonestar, Disco Rodeo, and The Metroplex, each stage had a unique identity to it. The first night started strong with acts such as Muzz, Truth X Lies, Sidequest, and William Black. Black put together a masterclass of melodic bass that was loaded with his hits and even included a never-heard-before track premiere as a special treat to LAN 2024. The party really picked up with two outstanding sets back-to-back at The Lonestar between Sidequest and then CHYL, as she brought her exciting speed house to Dallas. As the night grew later, back inside came a mesmerizing performance from Cassian, who finished off a tremendous year. Playing across the building at the same time was Black Tiger Sex Machine, who arguably put on one of the top three sets of the weekend. The duo presented their highly demanded ‘Anime Show,’ which takes inspiration from different Japanese Manga properties. 

Fans who stayed after Black Tiger Sex Machine got another round of incredible visuals as Ganja White Night brought back their deep bass tracks after a year away from LAN. The headliners for the night did a tremendous job, with San Pacho and Demigod closing down the outdoor stages, and Ray Volpe giving an unforgettable dubstep performance inside at Disco Rodeo for another top set of the night. And, of course, the legendary Kaskade finished everything off at The Metroplex with an iconic 75-minute journey of euphoria. 

The second night of Lights All Night 2024 was one for the books as within the first hours of the festival, opening acts like Tape B, ALLEYCVT, Fovos, Thought Process, Marry Droppinz, and Citadel X took the stages. Then came one of drum and bass’ fastest-rising stars, REAPER, who played to one of the largest crowds on The Lonestar stage. With a mix of fast-tempo and half-time, it is hard to imagine a more energetic set during the weekend. One of the most anticipated sets took place soon after, as Max Styler was sensational on the Disco Rodeo. On the main stage, The Metroplex hosted four incredible acts back to back, starting with the always iconic Timmy Trumpet. No matter where he goes, Timmy Trumpet gives 110 percent, and this performance was no different. After he rocked the stage, Kai Wachi brought back the dubstep energy before another highly anticipated artist took the stage, ISOxo. The San Diego native showed why he is one of the most sought-after bookings of the last two years. There might not be any other artist in the genre who creates the energy that ISOxo currently does when he steps on stage. He was the perfect act to set the stage for the biggest name in dubstep, Excision. With 75 minutes of mosh pits, intricate visuals, and incredibly aggressive drops, it was the perfect way to finish off 2024, which has been an unbelievable year for the dance community. 

Lights All Night 2024 was one for the books, and each year people continue to wonder how Disco Donnie Presents will top the year before, and they always answer the call. From the decorations, the venue, the people, and the artists, it is a raver’s happy place. There is no better valued end-of-the-year festival than LAN.
