Alesso, deadmau5, Chris Lorenzo, Porter Robinson, The Martinez Brothers, What So Not, Eli Brown, Amelie Lens, and more are playing Escape Psycho Circus this year!
It might be challenging to feel the chilly air and spooky ambiance that the fall months bring with summer currently in full swing, but Insomniac is looking to change that. Today, as HARD Summer gets into full swing, the behemoth brand teased the official lineup for Escape, its annual Halloween-themed festival in Southern California.
This year’s edition will see the return of the Escape Psycho Circus theme when the festival takes over the NOS Events Center on October 31 – November 1. Immediate standouts on the Escape Psycho Circus lineup include Alesso, Deorro, Audien, deadmau5, Amelie Lens, Porter Robinson, Dimtri Vegas, Matroda, Chris Lorenzo, Angerfist, and RL Grime, who is bringing his Sable Valley collective along for a takeover that shouldn’t be missed.
House and techno lovers will dance during the witching hour to sets from The Martinez Brothers, Walker & Royce, SIDEPIECE, Vintage Culture, Justin Jay, Eli Brown, AngryBaby, Korolova, J. Worra, HNTR, Panteros666, and Alignment. Meanwhile, bass lovers will be able to get their fix from the likes of Kayzo, What So Not, Virtual Riot, Wavedash, Ray Volpe, Hex Cougar, Don Jamal, Black Tiger Sex Machine, Jessica Audiffred, and LAYZ.
There’s even a dose of hard dance with DJ Isaac, Brennan Heart, and Dual Damage as well as a flurry of back-to-back sets that are slated to take place throughout the weekend. This includes Nicole Moudaber b2b Ilario Alicante, NGHTMRE b2b PEEKABOO, KSHMR b2b R3HAB, Marshmello b2b DJ Snake, Rossy b2b Pauline Herr, and Dax J b2b SPFDJ. Other notable performances include San Holo’s “Wholesome Riddim Set” as well as those from rising phenoms like Moore Kismet, Etari, Airrica, Domina, MADGRRL, Marco Strous, Wakyin, Wes Mills, and ONYVAA.
This is just the start of the surprises that will be in store at Escape Psycho Circus this year, as Insomniac has some major plans ahead of Halloween Weekend. Stay tuned for more artists to be revealed on the side stages and other announcements in the coming weeks.
