For 2014 we’re planning our biggest and best Friday-night party ever! Superstar DJ/Producer Abel headlines Ignite, with an opening set by Dallas’s own DJ Paul McElroy. One of the best known and most respected DJs on the circuit, Abel credits his incredible success to two words: cha-cha. With his explosive amalgam of heavy tribal beats and diva anthems, Abel has headlined nearly every circuit weekend and party, and regularly showcases his legendary prowess with residencies at Alegria, Salvation Saturdays, One Mighty Weekend, and Atlantis cruises. Ignite returns to Station 4, the 24,000-square-foot mega gay club featuring state-of-the-art lighting and sound. Located in the heart of Oak Lawn and Dallas’s Cedar Springs entertainment district, Station 4 is a short five-minute walk from our host hotel, the Warwick Melrose. In just a few short years, the Friday-night opening party has grown exponentially from little more than a cocktail mixer to a Texas-sized dance party with more than 1500 attendees.
How do you make Ignite even hotter? You add one of the top drag performers in the country to perform in the famous Rose Room Theatre. Purple Foundation is proud to announce Alyssa Edwards, star of RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 5, as the guest performer for the big opening party for Purple Party Weekend.
Alyssa Edwards is also the drag mother of fellow RuPaul’s Drag Race contestant Shangela, who appeared in the second and third seasons, and Laganja Estranja, who competed in the sixth. Alyssa Edwards is set to get her own show on Logo. It is called “Beyond Belief” and will revolve on her dance studio in Texas, Beyond Belief Dance Company.
Hearing one of the world’s best DJs and Alyssa joining the fabulous Rose Room cast is a night you won’t want to miss!
