The crowd is raging. The music is blaring. The visuals are stunning and hypnotizing. The venue is premier and the sound is resonating in the space.
There are no inhibitions, only music and adrenaline.
Hear the beats of David Solano explode among 2,000-plus audience members as Dayglow makes its mark on St. Louis for the first time.
A performance with world-class disc jockeys and state-of-the-art production and effects can leave one wondering if there is anything left to be desired.
However, this show promises an exclusive differentiation from other shows in the best way possible—with paint.
The “world’s largest paint party,” as trademarked by Dayglow, fuses creativity, art and music.
At The Pageant, 6161 Delmar Blvd., people will rave and enjoy the performances of Dayglow’s Blu tour (Beats.Love.Unity.), as blue colored paints are sprayed across the crowd.
Eric Fuller, national event director for Dayglow, suggests students check the Dayglow website, www.dayglowtour.com, or find them on Facebook to watch videos, see pictures and read comments from other people who have experienced Dayglow.
“Words don’t do it justice. You really need to experience it to understand it. I recommend watching one of our tour trailers to get an idea what it’s really like,” Fuller said.
Dayglow St. Louis is hosted by Emir Duru, featuring David Solano, but will also include performances by Wildchild World and other artists.
“Everybody is really excited about it.” Nicole Petersen, merchandising manager at The Pageant, said.
“It’s unlike anything I’ve ever done or heard of in St. Louis, so I’m overly excited to experience something this crazy here,” senior Kara Sheehan said.
Not all students will be fortunate enough to attend the event. According to Petersen, the event has been sold out.
“Right when I heard about Dayglow coming here, it was already sold out and I cried,” senior Stephanie Ruffino said.
Ticket holders should come prepared, wearing all white clothing with a few neon accessories.
Fuller suggested bringing sunglasses or clear glasses, because the lights are powerful.
Fuller also said he suggested to bring a towel for the car ride home, and warned that people should be prepared to dispose of their clothes after the show.
However, Fuller said he has worn the same pair of jeans to Dayglow for two years now, and nobody can tell they have ever been to Dayglow.
“The paint does not stain, if the clothes are washed within a few days of the event,” Fuller said.
Dayglow is fairly new in this market, but the party that began five years ago in Florida has now grown into a worldwide event.
“Our growth has been astronomical—which really shows how well the event has been received,” Fuller said.
Fuller said he is overjoyed with all the praise the tour has received. The viral Dayglow Blu tour has sold out in every visited city since the tour began, and continues to do so far in advance.
“City after city, we hear the same response: ‘Dayglow was the best night of my life.’ The energy at Dayglow is just unreal,” Fuller said.
The event will take place at 8 p.m. on Sept. 16. Dayglow is open to those 18 and older.
If interested in attending Dayglow St. Louis, tickets may still be available through secondhand online retailers, such as www.stubhub.com, but are unavailable through The Pageant at this time
