Halloween Roundup: all the events, all over the place
Halloweekend is fast approaching and it’s bringing with it a bevy of dance music talent. The “holiday” itself falls on a weekday, which has surprisingly worked out in everyone’s favor with events scheduled for the weekend before, the day of, and the weekend after. We’ve compiled a list of several events from each of the major cities, as well as some of the smaller ones. Read on to find out what your options are. For those heading to Vegas, we have discounted hotels for you at the Venetian here.
New York
Featured Events:
Sensation Innerspace at Barclay’s Center
The event America has been waiting for is finally here. The formerly pure trance event began over a decade ago and now spans over 20 countries. Sensation is an experience — not just a show — that cannot be missed.
Lineup: Mr. White, Fedde Le Grand, Dennis Ferrer, Joris Voorn, Nic Fanciulli | 9PM | Purchase Tickets Sold Out
All Mixed Up at Pier 94
Sebastian Ingrosso, the last remaining Swedish House Mafia member to hit the city since their breakup has a tall task this weekend. Due to the spectacular sets of his mafia partners-in-crime Axwell and Steve Angello, New York will be expecting big things from him. Alesso, no stranger to big New York parties of his own, is a fantastic opener for his mentor.
Lineup: Sebastian Ingrosso, Alesso, and Otto Knows | 9PM – 4AM | Purchase Tickets Sold Out
Crookers
Following the announcement that the duo behind Crookers have decided to part ways, we’re curious to see how this show turns out. Will Phra maintain the distinct Crookers sound or will he take project in a new direction?
