On April 10-11, 2026, Breakaway Music Festival  will storm back into Fair Park  as the ignition switch for the brand’s most ambitious year to date. After a record-breaking 2025 season that earned Breakaway the Dallas Observer ’s “Best Festival in Dallas” title , the city has secured a prestigious new honor: the first stop on a massive 14-city national tour.

For over a decade, Lights All Night (LAN)  has stood as the crown jewel of Texas’s New Year’s Eve circuit. It is a closing ceremony for the electronic music calendar and a glowing invitation for ravers to step into a brand-new year as one.

LISTEN TO LOSO'S OPENING SET FOR BIG FLORIDA AT THE GREEN ELEPHANT Born and raised in Houston and rooted in Dallas for the last three years, LOSO  has turned a handful of late nights into a meteoric rise. In a single year, he has evolved from small club corners to festival stages and major support slots. His path cuts straight through heavy bass and dubstep, but it never stays in one lane for long. Across the DFW metroplex, his name travels ahead of him. Not just for the sets

For one night, Houston felt open, layered, and unmistakably alive. Houston Fest blurred the line between club night and full-scale festival, creating a fluid, multi-room experience where different sounds, scenes, and energies coexisted under one roof.

The lineup featured mor

Meet Caspa, a pioneer producer whose sound has shaped an entire generation of bass music. Rising from the underground corners of London’s rich sound system culture, he has emerged as one of the foundational voices of early dubstep, carving out a lane defined by raw weight, stripped-back drums, and unmistakable East Coast hip-hop influence. While the world knows him for era-defining tracks and seismic live sets, his journey is rooted in some far more personal: brotherhood, cul

HVRCRFT , the Bay Area producer with a rapidly growing reputation for high-voltage sound design, will deliver direct support for DirtySnatcha  in one of his most defining career moments yet. From crate-digging in San Francisco to landing Top 10 charting releases, he now steps into the spotlight with the same ground-moving energy that first electrified his vis

It’s about fostering community, igniting creativity, and experiencing that indescribable magic that happens when everyone shows up with an open heart.

The All Hours Records Festival exploded across Vice Park on October 3, transforming the nightclub into a vibrant, multi-level micromusic festival that defied Dallas’s traditional musical reputation. More than just a night of dancing, it served as a powerful showcase of Texas’s thriving EDM ecosystem, giving local and regional artists a massive platform. Headliners Goshfather and Airborne  anchored the event - together embodying the festival’s mission to amplify community, cre

There’s a kind of electric appreciation that happens when you’re dancing barefoot by the river as lasers slice through the Texas night. That’s the precise magic Sound Camp 2025  bottled. Held from September 26–28, the banks of the Guadalupe River in New Braunfels transformed into a vibrant playground of bass, community, and creativity, setting a new, high standard for what an underground festival can be.
