Escape To A Night Of Spooky Fun
Escape Halloween, the world’s largest Halloween music festival, has unveiled the lineup for its spine-chilling 13th edition. We’re so psyched! The festival returns to the NOS Events Center in San Bernardino, CA this Friday, October 25 and Saturday, October 26, Insomniac has curated an eerily expansive lineup of over 80 artists across 5+ immersive stages of frightful fun. It’s going to be a blast, that’s for sure!
Of course, we expect the best of the best with Insomniac! And this lineup doesn’t disappoint. This year’s lineup features adrenaline pumping sets from the likes of dance music superstars Afroki (Afrojack B2B Steve Aoki), stadium-filling superstar Illenium, a rare North American festival appearance from dance mainstay Martin Garrix, pioneering dance producer deadmau5, legendary UK export Fatboy Slim, and hip-hop icon Ludacris.
Heavier sonics are represented by the likes of notorious man in the mask Angerfist, the rowdy Dog Eat Dog project from Crankdat B2B Riot Ten, bass-heavy fan favorite Alison Wonderland, melodic bass maestro Seven Lions, experimental left-field bass producer PEEKABOO, and the melodic meets dubstep and riddim stylings of Wooli.
The lineup depth pushes into house and techno frequencies including techno visionary Nina Kraviz, revered Berghain duo Ben Klock B2B Marcel Dettmann, tech house sensation PAWSA, Hellbent Records boss Cloonee, and eclectic rising star Chloé Caillet. Additional highlights include British four to the floor selector James Hype, Italy’s largest global streaming artists MEDUZA, prolific clubland favorites Denis Sulta and Dennis Cruz, plus the high energy hard hitting techno of Patrick Mason.
The festival will feature groundbreaking stage designs, plunging festival-goers into a nightmarish world of horrific delights. Insomniac always goes all out on their decor and art, so we know it will be amazing! This year, Insomniac stage hosts include its influential bass heavy brand Bassrush, its leading underground techno brand Factory 93, its epicenter of hard dance Basscon, and a collaborative effort between the Night Trip x Insomniac Records brands.
The world of Escape Halloween is vast and immersive with so much to explore. Headliners, the term Insomniac uses to refer to its festival attendees, can dance among Escape’s roaming performers, the Ringmaster’s Troupe, a host of formidable characters who haunt the grounds. And don’t forget the art that can be found around every corner, from three-dimensional superstructures, to glow-in-the-dark environments, and technological feats of light, sound, and fire. And it’s not Escape Halloween without Crazy Town, an enigmatic space inhabited by mysterious characters and supernatural forces. Headiners can grab an enchanted drink at Poison Ivy, do some light grocery shopping at The Butcher, or sit for a spell and watch the interactive shows at the Fire Organ.
Two-day GA, GA+, and VIP passes will be available beginning August 8 at 12pm PST on the official Escape Halloween website. Escape Halloween is an 18+ festival.
