Calling All the Freaks! Freaky Deaky NOLA- The Crypt Lineup
Freaky Deaky NOLA is getting even bigger — and a whole lot darker.
The annual Halloween celebration has revealed the lineup for The Crypt, the festival’s second stage, adding 15 new artists to the two-day experience taking over Mardi Gras World on October 30–31, 2026.
Introducing a darker and deeper sonic dimension to Freaky Deaky NOLA, The Crypt will serve as an intimate counterpoint to the festival’s main-stage programming, with a lineup spanning house, techno, bass, and underground sounds.
Friday’s lineup at The Crypt is led by Grammy-nominated house DJ and producer CID, the NYC-based artist whose high-energy sets and club-ready productions have made him a fixture on some of dance music’s biggest stages. He’ll be joined by Layla Benitez, bringing a deeper, more cinematic edge to Friday night’s programming. Rounding out the night are Stryfe, Romancing the Stoned, Xsomnia, Merger, Da$on, and AVea De Lune.
Saturday’s Crypt lineup is anchored by none other than William Black, one of melodic bass music’s most recognizable names. His appearance follows the release of his The Shadow Realm Remixes LP earlier this summer, marking a new chapter for the producer as he continues expanding his signature sound alongside industry collaborators. Joining him are Distant Matter, Vivid Nostalgia, DJ Taf, GMUR, Viet-Tec, and Krado.
The newly announced artists join an already stacked lineup featuring Porter Robinson (DJ Set), FISHER, Of The Trees, Chris Lorenzo, Dabin, JKYL & HYDE, Know Good, Canabliss, Devault, Bradeazy, Xandra, and Skilah. Together, the two-day bill moves fluidly between melodic electronic, bass, house, techno, and underground sounds.
But Freaky Deaky NOLA is about much more haunting than just the music.
Across two stages, fans will fall into an immersive Halloween environment designed specifically for New Orleans, where towering production, theatrical staging, roaming performers, interactive experiences, and elaborate décor collide with the city’s unmistakable Halloween energy.
Located inside Mardi Gras World — the venue known for housing the larger-than-life floats synonymous with New Orleans’ Mardi Gras celebrations — Freaky Deaky NOLA transforms the iconic space into a twisted Halloween playground. The result is a distinctly New Orleans take on the Freaky Deaky experience, bringing together music, production, and local culture for one unforgettable Halloween weekend.
Two-day and single-day passes are now on sale. Fans are encouraged to purchase early, as ticket prices will increase closer to the festival.
