Denver’s Convergence Station (2021) is a maximalist grandiosity of architecture, a quantum transit station that connects to four alien worlds forged together in a post-singularity moment of amnesia. Meow Wolf opened The Real Unreal in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex in July 2023 with the next location opening in Houston in 2024. Meow Wolf is proud to be the first certified B-Corporation in the themed entertainment industry.

PHLIP, DERTEEDISCO, DOWNLO, BONES, MIKE DUNN, and DESTRUCTO. These electrifying acts will perform against the four alien worlds of Convergence Station, providing an epic backdrop for the night.

The night also features surprise pop-up stages with performances by MONDO, DISKULL, SHAYNA P, ZEREK, EMILY HIMES, and MOODY. Adding to the excitement, the rave-ready, house rhythm extraordinaire QRTR has been announced as the special guest of the evening.

We want to take the time to address our friend and colleague, Mark Henry Martinez, known to many as DJ Subset.

Mark has been missing since November 22, 2023, and his absence is deeply felt by the entire community.

Mark is a cherished member of the music world, whose talent and spirit are irreplaceable, and our thoughts are with him and his loved ones during this uncertain time.

We remain hopeful for Mark's safe return and are actively supporting efforts to locate him. We encourage anyone with information regarding Mark's whereabouts to contact the Seattle Police Department at 206-787-5401. Your help is invaluable in these efforts.

We appreciate your support and understanding. We stand together in hope and solidarity, looking forward to a positive resolution.
