Escape Halloween, the world’s largest Halloween music festival, is set to return to the NOS Events Center in San Bernardino on October 25 and 26, bringing a weekend of electrifying performances. Among the festival’s most anticipated acts is Martin Garrix, the Dutch DJ and producer known for global hits like “Animals” and “In the Name of Love.”
Garrix holds a special place in the hearts of Korean fans, thanks to his unforgettable performance at the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics closing ceremony. At Escape Halloween, he’s ready to deliver another high-octane set, bringing the same energy and spectacle that have made him a staple at festivals worldwide.
This year’s Escape Halloween lineup features heavyweights like Afroki (Afrojack B2B Steve Aoki) and Illenium, with dance music legends deadmau5, Fatboy Slim, and hip-hop icon Ludacris adding to the star-studded roster.
For those craving harder sounds, Angerfist will unleash his signature aggressive beats, while Crankdat and Riot Ten’s Dog Eat Dog set promises a rowdy experience. Bass fans can expect sets from Alison Wonderland, Seven Lions, and PEEKABOO, while Wooli will blend melodic bass and dubstep for a dynamic live performance.
In its 13th year, Escape Halloween has become known for more than just its music. The festival’s eerie, immersive atmosphere is filled with stunning stage designs, pyrotechnics, and interactive themed areas like Crazy Town and the Fire Organ, offering a full Halloween experience.
Escape Halloween runs October 25–26 at the NOS Events Center. Tickets are available at escapehalloween.com. Stay tuned for post-festival coverage of the weekend’s best performances and surprises.
