Midnight Events brought Give Thanks back this year at the San Jose Civic Center last Friday. The line up for this year was ANK, Manufactured Superstars, Downlink, Dirtyphonics, Showtek and Arty. Due to some technical difficulties, the doors were closed for an additional hour and Manufactured Superstars opened at 8pm. They played a bunch of popular house music that everyone could dance to. Downlink also played a rather large handful of throwbacks and gave his new band, Destroid, with Excision and Space Laces a quick shout out before his set. The crowd was raging so hard, Downlink sprayed water at them to cool them down! Dirtyphonics... living up to their name, dropped really hard and made the crowd go wild. Finally the guy I had been waiting for all night, SHOWTEK! Showtek is a personal all time favorite of mine and I'm so thankful that he brought some hardstyle to this show. He totally light up the night when he dropped Here We F*cking Go. Arty topped off the night with a mind blowing visual light show and positive vibes. We all had a pretty good time and I hope all of you did too! And for those who may have missed Give Thanks we hope you're all having a wonderful holiday season and to come next year!
Here are some photos we got at the show!
