Lights All Night unveils 2026 lineup

Lights All Night put its 2026 lineup into the market on July 8, setting up another year-end electronic music festival in Dallas. Pollstar reported that Tiësto, Chris Lake and Subtronics are among the headliners for the two-night event, with Gryffin and KETTAMA also named high on the bill. The festival is scheduled for Dec. 30 and 31 at Fair Park, according to Pollstar and the event’s official site. Organizers also said the 2026 edition marks the festival’s 16th anniversary. ### Which artists are actually on the 2026 bill? Pollstar’s July 8 report named Tiësto, Chris Lake and Subtronics as headliners for Lights All Night 2026. The same coverage said Gryffin and KETTAMA are among the featured acts, alongside a broader electronic lineup for the Dallas event. (news.pollstar.com) Grateful Web, citing the lineup announcement, said I Hate Models and YØU$UKE YUK1MAT$U are also on the bill and described KETTAMA, I Hate Models and YØU$UKE YUK1MAT$U as making their Lights All Night debuts. That outlet’s account matched Pollstar on the top-line names and the Dec. 30-31 dates. (news.pollstar.com) ### Why is Fair Park part of the story? Fair Park is the notable venue change in this year’s announcement. Pollstar said the festival is returning to the 277-acre National Historic Landmark, and Grateful Web said the move brings Lights All Night back to Fair Park for the first time since 2012. (gratefulweb.com) James “Disco Donnie” Estopinal Jr., founder and CEO of Disco Presents, linked the move to the event’s history. “Returning to Fair Park feels like the right next step in the festival’s evolution,” he said in a statement reported by Pollstar, adding that “some of our earliest memories were made” there.

Pollstar said fans can expect “an immersive production and a memorable midnight countdown” at Fair Park, while the broader release described the lineup as genre-spanning and built around the New Year’s celebration into 2027. (news.pollstar.com) Lights All Night has framed itself as Texas’ longest-running New Year’s Eve electronic music festival in the 2026 announcement carried by multiple outlets. That language appeared in the event materials reproduced by Grateful Web and other music sites covering the release. (news.pollstar.com) ### Did the announcement include tickets or set times? The official Lights All Night site said limited Early Bird tickets begin Thursday, July 9, at 10 a.m. CT. The site’s landing page invited users to sign up for an on-sale alert and said entrants could be entered for a chance to win four backstage passes. Artist set times were not listed in the materials reviewed. (gratefulweb.com) Pollstar’s report focused on the lineup, venue and dates, and the official site surfaced the on-sale timing rather than a daily schedule. ### How does this compare with the most recent edition? (lightsallnight.com) Pollstar’s July 2024 coverage of the prior announced edition showed Lights All Night at Dallas Market Hall on Dec. 28 and 29, with Excision, Kaskade, ISOxo and Tape B among the names on that bill. That makes the 2026 announcement notable not only for the new headliners, but for the return to Fair Park after the festival’s more recent Market Hall run. (news.pollstar.com) Dec. 30 and 31 are the next firm dates on the calendar for the 2026 event. Tickets were slated to begin with the Early Bird sale on July 9 through the official festival site, while additional schedule details had not yet been posted. (lightsallnight.com) (news.pollstar.com)
