Lights All Night 2025 delivers another stellar New Year’s Eve celebration in Dallas, TX

Lights All Night 2025 has officially concluded, marking another memorable year of bringing in the New Year in Dallas, TX. 

Lights All Night is one of the most recognizable New Year’s Eve events in all of the United States. Welcoming tens of thousands of people from all over to finish off their year by experiencing one of the most diverse lineups of the year all while being in the heart of Dallas, it is truly an experience unlike any other. Lights All Night 2025 had a lot to live up to after a tremendous 2024 but as they always do, Disco Presents rose to the challenge and delivered a perfect New Year’s Eve experience that ushered in 2026 in exciting fashion. 

The two-day event didn’t hold any punches as it began its first night at the Dallas Market Hall. Right as Lights All Night 2025 opened its gates, attendees at The Metroplex stage got to experience 75 minutes with one of the most popular names in techno, Sara Landry. As if the energy wasn’t already sky high, following Landry was RL Grime who delivered a hard-hitting set full of trap edits to one of the largest crowds of the entire weekend. Two acts that could easily have been the headliners on separate stages but those at Lights All Night were lucky enough to witness their genius for two straight hours. 

Across the hallway, the beautiful sounds of Gudfella and Mashbit were taking place at the Disco Rodeo Stage. However, the outside stages might have been making the most noise as The Lonestar and The Watering Hole were being shaken by the sounds of Stylust, Realezt, Anubis, and Hostage Situation. As the day one got later into the night, back inside, the Lights All Night got to experience a taste of drum and bass with one of the greatest to ever do it, Netsky. Immediately following him was Wooli who shook the Market Hall with his heavy dubstep. Meanwhile, Odd Mob delivered a masterclass of a house set that was easily one of the best sets of the entire night. 

With only a few hours left in day one, it was time for the most anticipated acts to finally take the stage. The biggest of the penultimate sets came on the mainstage as 2022 breakout artist Mau P arrived. The Amsterdam-native put on an incredible show as he played his biggest hits coupled with some incredible edits in an hour’s worth of a mind-blowing mix. As the last hour approached, no matter which artists festival-goers decided to finish the day off with, they did not leave disappointed. Those outside at The Lonestar stage got to see one of the fastest-rising artists in the entire industry, MPH. 

Inside was Green Velvet who delivered an iconic and groovy set that was perfect to finish off the night. However, where most people were was with the biggest name in bass music, ILLENIUM. Performing to the biggest crowd of the night, the Colorado-based producer featured a set filled with dubstep, house, drum and bass, and melodic bass that was both aggressive and emotional. As his show came to a close, there was no question that the highly anticipated day one checked off all the boxes. 

As attendees arrived for day two, you could feel the excitement in the air as tonight was the night the Lights All Night family would say goodbye to 2025 and welcome in 2026. However, before that moment came there were many acts to experience and start the night off right. Just like the night before, Disco Presents filled the 6:30 and 7:30 pm slots on The Metroplex with two incredibly popular bass artists. The first one being Crankdat who was finishing off, by far, the best year of his career. 

Following him was arguably the most anticipated set of the entire festival, the return of GRiZ. Stepping on the stage in Dallas for the first time since coming out of his hiatus, this was a show that had the entire Market Hall full just slightly after the sun went down. With an awe-inspiring light show and a setlist that included live instruments, the return lived up to all expectations. Elsewhere on the grounds the sounds of Raecola, Wes Mills, Freddy Todd, Skellytn, Arkiin, and Kaezin were turning heads. As the late-night portion got underway, The Lonestar tent saw its biggest crowds as people packed out the stage to witness Grabbitz and then Wreckno play.

As midnight grew closer, the inside stages were beginning to get full, mainly The Metroplex as the bass-trio, Levity, took the stage. Bringing the “wubz“ to Dallas, the three put on 60 minutes of mind-bending edits and visuals. Immediately after was the moment many had been waiting for as Porter Robinson was set to usher in 2026. With just a couple of minutes before midnight, the seasoned veteran began a VIP edit of his track ‘Russian Roulette‘ and then the countdown from ten began. Once it hit zero and “Happy New Year“ flashed across the screen, Robinson’s arguably most famous track, ‘Language,‘ started to play in what was the most magical moment of the event. 

The last acts to perform for LAN 2025 were Chris Lorenzo b2b Matroda who presented 90 minutes of pure insanity. On the other side of the wall was one of the most in-demand artists in the industry, Knock2. The San Diego native did what he does best and provided the most energetic set of the entire weekend with a set mixed with trap, house, rock, drum and bass, and others. There was no question that Lights All Night 2025 went out with a bang. 

Once again Lights All Night proved to be one of the best New Year’s Eve events in the entire country. If you are looking to spend your New Year at a festival, this should be one you heavily consider at the end of 2026.
