Andrey Kiselev<\/a>\/Adobe Stock<\/p>\n Cutting loose on New Year\u2019s Eve is a time-honored tradition, and, if you\u2019ve had a particularly rough year, a deeply necessary form of release.

Whether you\u2019re into country, classical, goth rock or EDM, there\u2019s a show or party happening that will help you end 2025 on a high note.

If you\u2019ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of the Dallas Observer, now\u2019s the time to give back.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n Rosegarden Funeral Party at Three Links<\/p>\n 7 p.m. Parker McCollum at Dickies Arena<\/p>\n 8:30 p.m. Away From the New Year\u2019s Eve at Double Wide<\/p>\n 9 p.m. Forgotten Space at Granada Theater<\/p>\n 8 p.m. Emo Nite at Puzzles<\/p>\n 9 p.m. Reputation: A Taylor Swift Tribute at The HUB<\/p>\n 7:30 p.m. New Year\u2019s Eve at the Dallas Symphony Orchestra<\/p>\n 7:30 p.m. Vibe District at AT&T Discovery District<\/p>\n 10 p.m. \u2013 2 a.m.
