“It’s the first 3D Dayglow in Orlando, so everyone is going to get 3D glasses, and there will be lots of 3D art and models painted in 3D as well.”
KnightLyfe Entertainment looks to show UCF and Orlando some Miami-club style by bringing Dayglow 3D to the UCF arena.
The event will be held in the UCF arena Friday, Sept. 3 from 8 p.m. to 2 a.m.
Although KnightLyfe has held Dayglow parties in the UCF area in the past at places such as Roxy and TD’s, the event in the arena will be the largest one to date.
“Well, the max capacity is 5,093,” said Mikey Stylez, founder of Knightlyfe Enterainment. “The way we’re going right now, it looks like we’re going to sell out in the next couple of days.”
Tickets are $25 and VIP tickets, which come with a free Dayglow shirt, bottle of paint, Dayglow backpack, and CD featuring House and Electronic Dayglow music, are $50, Stylez said.
Stylez described the event as a new-age rave.
What began as a concept in Tallahassee has been transformed into some of the largest paint parties in the world, under the direction of Commitee Entertainment, a company that started in Tallahassee and has been working with Knightlyfe Entertainment since its inception.
New additions to past Dayglow events include contortion acts and paint cannons as well as acrobats, said Stylez.
“I think people are really going to get their money’s worth,” he added. “It’s the first 3D Dayglow in Orlando, so everyone is going to get 3D glasses, and there will be lots of 3D art and models painted in 3D as well.”
Two UCF students, who are KnightLyfe DJs, will be featured as DJs, DJ Henry Fong and DJ Massi, Stylez said.
There will also be a concert that features headliner Funkagenda as well as David Solano, who serves as Dayglow’s resident DJ.
“It’s going to be an insane party, and I don’t think people are expecting more than what it’s like at a local place. It’s just going to be a riot,” DJ Massi said.
KnightLyfe began four years ago and has increased their capital in ways that have allowed the company to use the UCF arena for Dayglow, he said.
“I think it’s going to bring more of a house music mentality to Orlando. It’s huge in Miami and it’s not as big here,” DJ Massi said.
“This is probably one of the biggest steps to bringing it to Orlando and bringing it to UCF, the biggest part of Orlando nightlife.”
