The mega concert includes local band Neon Indian.

DALLAS — Last year, hundreds of Dallasites rang in the new year with Ghostland Observatory at Plaza of the Americas in Dallas. We called it epic. In fact, we told you that whatever else you did that night was vastly inferior if you weren't enjoying a sensory overload at the Ghostland Observatory concert.

This year, it gets better: Ghostland Observatory is back in Big D for New Year's Eve, but they're part of a much more massive lineup that spans two days at the Dallas Convention Center called Lights All Night. The lineup includes local chill wave band Neon Indian on December 31.

UPDATE: A third stage was added to the festival, which includes mashup group White Panda, Dubstep artist Caspa, and more.

Bands are:

December 30, 2011:

• Tiësto, Benny Benassi, Laidback Luke, Dada Life, Sandro Silva in the "dance hall"
• Diplo, Flux Pavilion, Excision, RJD2, and Archnemesis in the "bass hall"
• Plus Big Gigantic, Bonobo, Paper Diamond, White Panda, Zoogma, and Crizzly

December 31, 2011:

• Girl Talk, Ghostland Observatory, Wolfgang Gartner, MSTRKRFT, Neon Indian in the "dance hall"
