As adults, our perspective of Halloween has definitely changed. For us, it’s now about fun costumes and parties we’ll end up raving about until next year’s Halloween comes around the corner again. And if you’re on the lookout for the best Halloween weekend gigs, we’ve got you covered!
Summer has officially ended and we are getting the first hints of fall – which means one thing. Ah, Halloween. As children we loved it for the fairy-tale costumes and bags and bags of candies. As adults, well. It’s a different thing entirely. Now, it’s all about THE party. You know, that one night of the year you can be as wild (or as drunk) as you want. And if you’re in the mood to dress your best (be it sexy or super epic) and to party to your favorite music, we’ve got the ultimate list for you. Here are the most spooktacular events you need to attend this Halloween.
1. Escape: Psycho Circus
Where: Nos Events Center, San Bernardino, California
When: October 25 to 26
It’s time for Insomaniac’s most beloved event of the year. Escape: Psycho Circus is now entering its 9th year of existence. For nine years now, it has become the West Coast’s largest two-day dance music event centered around our favorite frightful holiday. The two-day EDM-centric festivity has an impressive line-up this year featuring big acts like Alesso and Dillon Francis. There will be four stages this year (yes, four) – The Grimm, Psycho Circus, Sanitarium and Sewer District. Complete with freaky performers in various costumes, spooky rooms and set-ups, it will be nothing less that spooktacular indeed.
