Escape Halloween (San Bernardino, CA, USA) 2025

About

Here’s a fresh way to jump into the spirit of the season with Escape Halloween (San Bernardino, CA, USA) 2025 — imagine the massive NOS Events Center transformed into a twisted, electric carnival music festival each night from October 31 to November 1, where horror and euphoric beats collide under a sky charged with neon and eeriness.

The lineup reads like a who’s-who of the electronic music world — a rare b2b set from Marshmello & DJ Snake kicks things off with explosive synergy, while Porter Robinson, deadmau5, Alesso, and RL Grime dominate with headline-caliber performances. Trap heads can’t miss NGHTMRE b2b Peekaboo, and techno devotees will flock to sonic architects like Amelie Lens, Alignment, Bad Boombox, Klangkuenstler, and Korolova. There’s a heavyweight B2B clash from KSHMR & R3HAB, plus deeper dives into mode-shifting sets like San Holo’s “Wholesome Riddim” and the enigmatic DJ Snake as The Outlaw. Fans of hard-hitting bass will find thunder in names like Angerfist, Brennan Heart, DJ Isaac, and the raw energy of ATLiens, Black Tiger Sex Machine, Jessica Audiffred, LAYZ, and Ray Volpe. House and groove come to life with Chris Lorenzo, The Martinez Brothers, Vintage Culture, Matroda, SIDEPIECE, and Walker & Royce lighting up the dance floors.

Last year’s festival, held on October 25–26, 2024, set the stage with illusion and high-impact headliners — a cinematic mix of Deadmau5, Martin Garrix, Illenium, Fatboy Slim, Alison Wonderland, Adventure Club, and Seven Lions brought the kind of energy that outshined the Southern California night.

What makes Escape Halloween more than just a festival is its immersive universe — twisted-carnival theatrics from the roaming Ringmaster’s Troupe, gravity-defying art installations, haunted walkways, and multi-sensory spectacle spread across themed stages like Grimm, Feeding Grounds, Cauldron, Sewer District, and Wicked Woods. This year, the production cranks up even further with the debut of a brand-new mainstage centerpiece and towering immersive design that promises shock and awe at every turn.

Expect surreal storytelling through music, architecture, and performance that unites the eerie with the euphoric. If 2024 was any sign, Escape Halloween 2025 will blur the lines between festival, haunted house, and dystopian rave — where every beat cascades into another realm, every set becomes an odyssey, and every moment is drenched in neon-lit horror and pulse-pounding bliss.
