Convo Center to illuminate Pretty Lights

August 16, 2011

Pretty LightsPretty Lights, a musical vision for music lovers of all subcultures and genres, will come Thursday, Oct. 6, to the NIU Convocation Center.

Doors will open at 7 p.m. with the show starting promptly at 8 p.m.

Advance tickets for Pretty Lights are $30 for either general admission or reserved seating. NIU students can get a $3 discount with a valid NIU OneCard at the NIU Convocation Center Box Office. Tickets on the day of the show will increase by $2.

Pretty Lights is the musical vision of the ultra-versatile Colorado based producer Derek Vincent Smith.

At a time when music lovers from almost all subcultures and genres are finding common ground in the basic form of bangin’ beats, Pretty Lights is giving the people what they want: electro, organic, cutting-edge, party rocking beats that fill venues with energy and emotion and send dance floors into frenzies.

And the people are responding. Pretty Lights’ six albums have been downloaded more than 1.4 million times from PrettyLightsMusic.com. A 2010 sold-out North American fall tour and two sold out shows in Chicago for New Years Eve propelled Pretty Lights into 2011.

For more information on the Oct. 6 show, call (815) 752-6800.
