Come year’s end, 40,000 people are expected to descend on Dallas Market Hall. That’s how many turned out for last year’s Lights All Night festival, a two-day extravaganza of electronic dance music and hip-hop planned this year for Dec. 29-30.
Lights All Night announced the initial lineup for its eighth annual festival earlier this fall, but now we have the full lineup. The nine additions to the lineup are: Marshmello, NGHTMRE, Maxo Kream, Liquid Stranger, Morgan Page, Blackgummy, Holly B2B Slayer, Sage Armstrong B2B Bot and Wongo. Several of the artists have ties to Texas.
DJ and producer Marshmello – who remains anonymous by wearing a headpiece that’s somewhere between a marshmallow and a lego head – collaborated on his summer single “Silence” with El Paso R&B singer Khalid and on “Wolves” with Dallas native Selena Gomez. “Wolves” is No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Dance/Electronic chart. In September, Forbes named Marhsmello the eighth-highest-paid DJ in the world; he earned $21 million in one year.
Houston rapper Maxo Kream has also been added to the Lights All Night lineup.
