Although it would seem at times that EDM’s North American explosion came out of nowhere, even 10-15 years ago, Miami had a very strong dance culture. Today, Miami is an epicenter of dance music, playing host to the yearly Winter Music Conference and Ultra Music Festival every march; a bucket-list destination for ravers around the world. But as successful and important as UMF has become, Miami’s scene is yearlong, never stopping.

Coming this month, July 21st, Dementia Events is putting together a one day massive, a festival for all your basshead desires. Bringing together stunning visual setups, a playground of live art installations, and of course stellar tunes, the Lights Out Festival is not to be missed. With a lineup that includes rising electro stars Lucky Date and Felix Cartal, stalwarts like RJD2 and Felix Da Housecat, as well bass monsters like RUN DMT, Seven Lions, and Crizzly, and MORE, this event is going to pop off; it’s going to be dare I say, “LIGHTS OUT”

The Lights Out Festival is being held in a 70,000-square-foot lot at Soho Studios, so there will be plenty of space to get your groove on, chill out, or live out your raving heart’s desire. There will be vendors, merchandiser, food courts, and of course, a premium bar area.
