With a crowd that celebrates a diverse fanbase – including a strong queer audience – the party has been a mainstay throughout Dallas for a different night out.
The event will feature an interior club multi-media art installation by Taylor Clevelan and exterior dispaly by David Neale.
Lord Byron’s PANOPTIKON was founded in 2006 at the iconic but now-defunct Club ONE in Deep Ellum. Over the years, PANOPTIKON has moved locations partnering with supportive businesses like the former XKLusive in Oak Lawn and club owners Don Nedler of Lizard Lounge and The Church and also of the former Red Light in Deep Ellum with Allen Falkner (now The Nines).
