Tiesto, Girl Talk, Diplo, MSTRKRFT, Many More To Play Two-Night New Year's Eve Bash

Today's piece of proof in the Dallas-loves-electronic-dance-music-and-so-even-do-the-folks-who-run-the-city department is kind of amazing: The folks behind the annual Lights All Night New Year's Eve party, who last year brought Ghostland Observatory to town, have seriously stepped their game up this year, turning New Year's Eve (rather surprisingly) into a two-night affair...

Today's piece of proof in the Dallas-loves-electronic-dance-music-and-so-even-do-the-folks-who-run-the-city department is kind of amazing: The folks behind the annual Lights All Night New Year's Eve party, who last year brought Ghostland Observatory to town, have seriously stepped their game up this year, turning New Year's Eve (rather surprisingly) into a two-night affair and bringing in an even bigger offering to this year's event, which will take place in the Dallas Convention Center on December 30 and December 31.

Sure, Ghostland will be back. But they'll be joined at the 18-and-up event by an insanely impressive roster of even bigger names this time around. No, really. On the first night of the event, revelers will be treated to sets from Tiesto, Benny Benassi, Diplo, Flux Pavilion, RJD2 and others. Meanwhile, on actual New Year's Eve, the event will feature performances from Girl Talk, Ghostland, Wolfgang Gartner, MSTRKRFT, Feliz Cartal and Dallas' Own Neon Indian.

Drool over the full lineup after the jump. It's insane. Single-day passes will go for an early-bird rate of $79 per night or $150 for both nights. VIP passes are going for $275 (two nights) or $150 (one night). Steep rates, yes, but look at that bill. Tickets go on sale on August 30. Grab them here. Then scratch off anything else you had planned for New Year's.

Right. Like you're that organized.
