Jason Michael Carroll brings his radio-polished North Carolina country to 8 Seconds Saloon on Saturday night. He broke out with Alyssa Lies and Livin' Our Love Song, and he still leans into that mix of barroom twang, big-chorus ballads, and a sturdy live band. Expect tight harmonies and stories between songs. Doors open early, with the opener hitting around 8:45 pm and Carroll taking the stage at 10:30 pm, a schedule that fits this room's late-night honky-tonk rhythm.
8 Seconds Saloon on the west side is Indy’s big-room honky-tonk, built for boots, belt buckles, and loud country shows. The stage is tall, the PA pushes plenty of low end, and the dance floor stays moving. It runs like a true roadhouse, with friendly security, quick bars, and free parking out front. National acts come here when they want a rowdy crowd that knows the words.

Justin Bieber Night turns Deluxe into a singalong dance floor on Saturday. Presented by Stan Society and Do317, it is wall-to-wall Bieber hits, deep cuts, and remixes, from early acoustic pop to glossy trap-tinged singles. It is an all-ages night with doors at 8:30 pm and music at 9, and the crowd knows the ad-libs as well as the choruses. Expect quick transitions, big hooks, and a room full of choreographed shout-backs.
Deluxe is the club-sized room inside Old National Centre, a standing-only space with a low stage, tidy sightlines, and a bar that keeps up when the floor gets packed. It is the complex’s most intimate room, ideal for dance parties, indie one-offs, and locals on the rise. The building is historic, but Deluxe feels modern, with punchy sound and a layout that keeps the energy close to the booth.

KC and the Sunshine Band roll in with the horn-stacked funk that fueled Get Down Tonight, Boogie Shoes, and Shake Your Booty. The show is a bright, tightly choreographed revue with a big rhythm section and singalong choruses that never really left pop culture. At 7:30 pm the band hits with the same party-forward energy that turned arenas into dance floors, and the setlist still jumps from glittering disco to sleek soul without losing momentum.
The Murat Theatre at Old National Centre is the ornate, seated showpiece of the complex, with plush rows, a balcony that sounds great, and Moorish Revival details that make even a soundcheck feel cinematic. Sightlines are clean from almost anywhere and the mix is warm and balanced. It is where legacy acts bring full-production shows and the room meets them with a patient staff and smooth flow.

Gimme Gimme Disco is the ABBA-forward dance party that treats the 70s songbook like a live-wire jukebox. The DJs weave the obvious bangers with deep cuts and fellow era staples, so one minute it is Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! and the next it is a surprise slice of Bee Gees or Donna Summer. The crowd tends to dress the part and belt the harmonies, which turns the room into a full-voice chorus as much as a dance floor.
Turntable is a compact dance room with a mirror ball, a close-up booth, and a sound system tuned for pop and disco nights. The space feels immediate, with quick bar service and lighting that snaps the crowd into motion as soon as the first chorus hits. It is a simple formula that works: tight room, clean lows, and an easy layout that keeps the energy centered on the floor.
