With Michael playing the first half and Paulo closing out the weekend, you can expect an incredible musical journey from tea dance to late night at this extended eight-hour event.
We are also very excited to be returning to one of the most amazing venues in Dallas, if not the entire country: Plush. This beautiful, multilevel nightclub with a new rooftop deck boasts one of the best audiovisual systems around, complete with a Funktion One sound system, a 25-foot LED wall, and liquid nitrogen blasters. It will be a perfect ending to a spectacular weekend!
