About

Picture a crisp Halloween evening descending upon Columbus as the city lights glint off the iconic arena district—this is Haunted Fest 2025, returning on October 31 to the expansive outdoor grounds of KEMBA Live!, where the boundary between eerie and ecstatic dissolves into a spellbinding mix of music festival and haunt.

The lineup conjures up a darkly vibrant roster featuring Tape B, Dr. Fresch, Cool Customer, Super Future, and ASHEZ, each delivering a unique sonic potion that blends deep grooves, pulsing rhythms, and festival-ready energy. These artists will lead the charge under a canopy of night sky, weaving together an immersive narrative that feels part Halloween spectacle, part dance-floor ritual.

Last year’s incarnation of Haunted Fest on October 25, 2024, set the stage for this year’s spectacle with heavy-hitters DJ DIESEL, NGHTMRE, Eliminate, and CELO igniting Columbus with their high-octane performances. That edition delivered thunderous bass, laser-lit euphoria, and a crowd draped in costumes that blurred the lines between the macabre and neon dream.

What makes Haunted Fest so captivating isn’t just the lineup—it’s the world it builds. Attendees of all ages are invited to roam freely through an atmosphere where Halloween flips into high-octane immersion. KEMBA Live!’s open-air setting embraces rain or shine, while contactless payments create a seamless experience for everything from food and drink to merch.

If 2024 was any indicator, this year’s Haunted Fest will feel like stepping into a transcendent Halloween rave—where the music possesses you, the visuals haunt you, and the night refuses to let go.
