Let’s Get Ready for Lights All Night

As a major festival with quality production, expect that Lights All Night will provide all of your basic festival necessities. You are precious cargo, therefore event security and emergency medical teams will be located throughout the venue around the clock. If you ever have an emergency, simply find a staff person with a radio for immediate assistance.

LAN is understanding to those individuals who may require special dietary needs. Their policy allows you to bring factory-sealed, non-glass items into the venue for personal use only.

Remember that staying hydrated is one of the most important elements of having a good time at any festival. Sealed water bottles or empty containers that can be filled at a free water station will also be allowed.

Let’s Play at Lights All Night

Lights All Night will welcome to its stages some of the world’s most sought-after DJs. We will celebrate this milestone anniversary in addition to closing out 2019 with a bang.

On day one, LAN has chart-topping producer, Skrillex. Skrillex continues to release new music as a solo performer. He also has been banging out heat from his collaborative side projects with Diplo (Jack U) and Boyz Noise (Dog Blood). Just this summer, the producer released a wave of new music featuring artists such as Ed Sheeran, Ty Dolla $ign, Lykke Li, and TroyBoi.

Critically-acclaimed and 2019 GRAMMY Awards nominee DJ Porter Robinson is also hitting the stage. He will be appearing as his alter-ego, Virtual Self. His alter ego’s style pays homage to the ’90s and 2000s-style electronic music that first inspired Robinson to produce music.

Lights All Night festival alum (and often labeled the Godfather of Bass Music) Bassnectar will take the stage to headline and close out Saturday night. Bassnectar released Part 4 of the Reflective EP series this past spring, so he has plenty of music to throw at us. Saturday night will no doubt be amazing with Bassnectar’s sweet sounds taking us to another realm.

Also slated to headline on Saturday is Chicago-based DJ and production duo, Louis The Child. As if this is not enough, prepare yourself for Zomboy, 3LAU, Slushii, Kayzo, SanHolo, Herobust, Elephante, and Austin’s own DJ duo Tritonal throughout the weekend.

The festival’s Planet Prime stage is also being transformed into A hyper-intimate outdoor stage for special takeovers from some of today’s top dance music record labels and collectives. This includes Night Bass Records and Gravedancer.
