The Harry C. Vaughan Planetarium’s “Dome After Dark: Dance and Create” concert event
will fit the Halloween season with a “Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead)” edition
from 9 p.m.-1 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 26. The concert will be paired with a curated craft activity in the SciDIY Makerspace, located in the basement of the
Physical Sciences Building.
Tickets are $5 for the public and all online sales. The event is geared toward those
18 or older. Patrons can purchase tickets online with a credit card, reserve tickets over email or voicemail, or walk in and purchase
tickets at the start of the show. Reservations or pre-purchase is not required, and
walk-ins are welcome.
Doors open 15 minutes ahead of the show time. Seating is first-come, first-served
outside of designated ADA/wheelchair seating.
“Live beats will keep the energy going all night long in the immersive dome, while
you also can enjoy crafting stations and refreshments in the SciDIY Makerspace,” says
Max Gilbraith, the planetarium’s coordinator. “Feel free to move between both spaces
as you celebrate Día de los Muertos with art, music and community.”
Wayzout, a staple of the Colorado experimental electronic music scene, will be the
event headliner. Hailing from Denver, Wayzout, a producer, DJ and rapper, brings over
20 years of expertise in beat-wise turntablism and experimental production. Known
for pushing the boundaries of sound, his performances are always dynamic, with intricate
beats and an unpredictable flow.
Eyeamone, also from Denver, is another powerhouse in the Colorado electronic scene.
Eyeamone blends intelligent jungle rhythms with a deep, funky vibe, creating a signature
sound that moves both the mind and body. His years of DJing and producing have made
him a crowd favorite, bringing rich layers of sound and rhythm to his live performances.
Rounding out the lineup is Laramie’s own RIGZ, a local favorite known for their energetic drum
and bass sets.
The Lights on Laramie visual crew will provide stunning visuals mapped perfectly to
the planetarium’s full dome. Featuring custom productions from Jane daPain, Osvinci
and Cypher X, the visuals will seamlessly complement the music by using cutting-edge
technology to transform the dome into a fully immersive, multi-sensory experience.
