Thousands of dance music lovers descend upon Southern California during spooky season each year to immerse themselves in the sights and sounds of Escape Halloween. This flagship festival from Insomniac Events has blossomed to become one of the biggest in North America that’s centered around the holiday with a jaw-dropping lineup, a plethora of performers, and fright-filled production to match its footprint at the NOS Events Center.
The 11th annual Halloween-themed festival will showcase the return of Insomniac’s largest megastructure stage design in history, The Grimm, complete with a moving skeleton figure towering over 150 feet high that has fallen under the devilish spell of the inhabitants of Voodoo Village. The Red Ringmaster will welcome Headliners with his chilling grin into The Psycho Circus, while the Sanitarium and its unsound experiments deep within the institution play host to Basscon and Bassrush. Barricaded from the rest of society in a dystopian territory of minimalism and immersiveness, the Sewer District will host the curated sounds of Factory 93.
This year’s edition of Escape Halloween is set to take place on October 28-29 and will carry on with its tradition of bringing some of the top artists in the scene to the stage. Friday boasts of artists including Alesso, ANNA, Marshmello, Oliver Heldens, Wooli, Subtronics, Meduza, and a b2b featuring Getter and Eptic, to name a few. Then, the festival kicks into a higher gear on Saturday with a range of artists that includes Martin Garrix, Vintage Culture, Moore Kismet, Kayzo, Eric Prydz, SIDEPIECE, and Nina Kraviz who are set to play.
