METAL NIGHT — LIVE MUSIC CONCERTS

Three acts will be taking the main stage to provide live music concerts during DreamHack Dallas:

Motionless in White | Sat, June 4 | 9:30pm
- Motionless In White harnessed the power of an unholy union between industrial metal dissonance, spellbinding gothic pop bombast, and big screen-worthy iconography to emerge as 21st-century rock’s most iconoclastic and cinematic force.
Jonathan Young with special guest Caleb Hyles | Sat, June 4 | 8pm
- Jonathan Young is best known for his YouTube covers of popular and nostalgic songs from Disney movies, Anime shows, video games and more. His debut at DreamHack will also mark his first-ever live performance.
CMD81 | Sat, June 4 | 7pm
- Louisiana-based CMD81 comes highly recommended by a past Dallas music guest (Cane Hill). The group will be hanging out all three days of the festival and opening for this explosive metal night.
