Dallas: Bloodrave at Trees
September 6 @ 8:30 pm - 11:59 pm
$42
Bloodrave brings its horror-themed electronic dance party to Trees in Dallas on September 6, with doors at 8:30 PM and tickets starting at $42.
Bloodrave is a touring rave concept built around a blend of hard dance, techno, and bass music, staged with horror-movie visuals, elaborate lighting, and a theatrical atmosphere that sets it apart from a standard club night. Rather than centering on a single headlining artist, the event functions as a themed touring production, pairing rotating DJ lineups with an immersive, blood-and-gore aesthetic that has built a dedicated national following among fans of horror culture and electronic dance music alike.
Trees has been a fixture of Dallas’s Deep Ellum music scene since the late 1980s, one of the neighborhood’s original rock clubs and a stage that has hosted acts across punk, metal, alternative, and electronic music for decades. The mid-size room retains the gritty, no-frills character that made Deep Ellum a magnet for touring bands long before the neighborhood’s more recent redevelopment, and it remains one of Dallas’s most reliable venues for genre-spanning club shows. Fans can find more on the venue’s history at Trees’ own page on Texas Music Map.
Bloodrave events lean heavily into costume and makeup culture, encouraging attendees to dress the part alongside the performers, and the production’s visual design — strobing red lighting, fog, and horror-inspired stage props — has made it a recurring stop on the electronic touring circuit each fall. The concept has found a particularly strong audience in Texas, where its stops routinely sell well ahead of Halloween season.
Doors open at 8:30 PM, and the event tends to run late into the night, so plan accordingly if you have an early morning after. Costumes are welcome and encouraged for anyone wanting to fully join in the theme.
