Something Wicked – Houston, TX – October 29-30

Something Wicked, the largest Halloween electronic music festival in Texas, returns for a devious two-day event to fill your Halloween needs this year. Earlier this summer, Disco Donnie Presents and NightCulture announced the first wave of performers that surely had you wishing it was October already. Electronic heavy hitters Diplo, Hardwell, Deorro, Carnage, and Excision are headliners for what has quickly developed into one of the most attended events of the year. With no other electronic dance music events of this magnitude taking place within hundreds of miles, the star-studded lineup of ghouls will surely bring ravers to this wicked extravaganza. In addition to the eerie headliners, the spine-tingling lineup also features 3lau, Jauz, A-Trak, Marshmello, and Slander.

Freaky Deaky – Chicago, IL – October 28-30

The largest Halloween event in the Midwest returns for its eighth year featuring over 50 chilling artists. Each year, Freaky Deaky provides an unmatched atmosphere with its powerful visual spectacle on three epic stages. With night one including acts like Disclosure, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, and Travis Scott headlining, you will sure be in for a treat. But if you’re more into tricks, don’t worry because night two and three holds headliners such as DJ Snake, Tiesto, DJ Khaled, and Schoolboy Q. Throughout the weekend, the Crypt Stage will transform each night to highlight a diverse scope of dance music’s most noteworthy producers. On Friday, bass lovers will have Bro Safari take the lead with appearances by Figure, Crizzly, Illenium, Loudpvck, and 4B. Saturday’s deep house, techno, and hip hop blend is headlined by Dubfire with other acts such as Claptone, MK, Brodinski, and Kill Frenzy. Closing the Cyrpt Stage on Sunday is music pioneer Jamie Jones alongside house and techno cornerstones Guy Gerber, Lee Foss, Ardalan, and Gene Farris.

VooDoo Music + Arts Experience – New Orleans, LA – October 28-30

VooDoo Music + Arts Experience presents the perfect opportunity to take advantage of what New Orleans has to offer. Conveniently located by Bourbon Street, the festivities can continue all night long in true NOLA fashion. The only festival on our list that isn’t strictly electronic dance music, Voodoo Music Festival still packs a heavy electronic influence. As much as we eat, sleep, and breathe all things dance music, it’s nice to have a plethora of music variety to switch things up. If for any reason you get sick of dancing to Porter Robinson, Carnage, What So Not, Excision, Alison Wonderland, Party Favor or any of the other heavy hitting producers that grace the lineup, you can explore what other acts the festival has to offer such as The Weeknd, Tool, Arcade Fire, Bands of Horses and more.

Boo! – Phoenix, Dallas, & San Francisco – Multiple Dates

After looking into some of Insomniac’s other events going on Halloween weekend, it was crucial Boo! was included in this list. Last Halloween, Boo! brought a devilishly fun weekend to San Francisco. Not only is it returning, but it’s expanding to two new cities: Dallas and Phoenix. The hellish festivities will start in Phoenix on Saturday, October 15. The following week, BOO! heads to Dallas for two days of spooky fun on October 21 and October 22. And lastly, Boo! heads to San Francisco on October 28 and October 29. Although the lineup is significantly smaller than the other events on this list, the lineup is stacked. If going to festival with thousands and thousands of people isn’t your cup of tea, check out Boo! and catch acts like Baauer, Ghastly, Knife Party, Valentino Khan, Showtek, Bro Safari, Snails, and more.
