Are you getting ready for Escape Halloween this month? Check out the stage lineups and afterparty info if you plan to dance deeper into the night.
Spooky season is upon us, and with it comes a flurry of Halloween festivals around the country. The West Coast’s largest soiree, Escape Halloween, has blossomed into a behemoth, with Insomniac continuing to bring stacked lineups, unique experiences, and plenty of high-quality, immersive production year after year. The festival’s upcoming edition is gearing up to be no different, with another insane list of artists set to perform and some exciting additions to the grounds that will shake things up for longtime attendees and newcomers alike on October 27-28.
Today, Insomniac revealed the stage lineups for Escape Halloween to help you dread the upcoming set time conflicts. Some of the most significant artists playing have been locked in on The Grimm stage, such as Above & Beyond, AFROJACK, Armin van Buuren, and Kaskade. The Feeding Grounds will be booming with the sounds of dubstep, drum and bass, midtempo, and hip-hop, while the Sanitarium will switch from a Basscon takeover to one hosted by Night Trip on the second day. And the Sewer District will once again be the home for all who love the sounds of house and techno.
This year, Escape Halloween will host a new stage, Wicked Woods, which will take over the NOS Events Center’s Citrus building. Lost In Dreams will host the stage on Friday, with sets from ARMNHMR, k?d, Crystal Skies, and Codeko, among others, while Bassrush will make a home there on Saturday with a flurry of drum and bass artists, including Culture Shock, Black Sun Empire, Ed Rush and Optical, and more.
While the Escape Halloween party might stop at 2am, those who want to keep dancing until the brink of dawn will be able to do just that by purchasing an official afterparty ticket. Hosted inside Wicked Woods, there’s a plethora of techno and house that will arrive to titillate the senses from the likes of Charles D, Shmitty, Malaa, Matroda, Tobehonest, and SLANDER, who will show off their Before Dawn project.
GA, GA+, and VIP passes for Escape Halloween are on sale now, along with the after-party tickets. Head to Front Gate to make your purchase and get ready for another wicked weekend in San Bernardino!
