If you miss that wild beat, don’t sweat it—SILO’s packing the coming week with metallic drum’n’bass legends Metalheadz on November 20 and pounding sets from KSHMR, Chris Lake, and CamelPhat as November rages on. It’s basically EDC, but with more cowboy hats and less sand in your shoes. Feel like boot-scooting or going two-step viral? Shane Smith & The Saints play South Side Ballroom on November 16, while country queen Margo Price dazzles at Longhorn Ballroom the very same night.
