As the temperature starts to drop and each night falls earlier than the last, we all know what precious time of year is approaching. Put the glitter aside, unless it is black, and grab your extravagant costumes; It is time for Insomniac’s sinister and spooky annual event: Escape Halloween: Psycho Circus at the NOS Event Center in San Bernardino, October 26th and 27th.
Coming at us with an absolutely fire line up on their 4 traditional stages hosted by genre based divisions of Insomniac Bassrush Massive, Basscon, Audiotistic, and Factory93- Each providing its own hair-rising fare of musical style. Catch me at my personal favorite, Slaughterhouse on Friday night for the ever so adorable Martin Garrix, and Saturday night for Lane 8 who is never short of fantastic with his deep house beats; As well as, The Chopping Block hosted by Audiotistic Saturday night for the B2B of the amazing duo A-Track & Yehme2. Bringing me back there to finish the event weekend off is the powerhouse Tchami X Mala introducing [NO REDEMPTION], a set not to be missed.
Aside from a musical experience that is sure to break your neck, you must step into The Wonderland Asylum Maze. A twisted version of a fun-house created personally by the CEO of Insomniac himself, Pasquale Rotella. As you walk in it seems as though you time warped into a 1800s hotel transformed for the dangerously insane. Featuring 30 mind blowing & distinct environments, all sounded by a custom horror track from Rabbit in the Moon, it is surely a journey for the senses- You are given a black mask (to be taken home as a survival souvenir), and properly fitted for a straitjacket to be worn the duration of your experience.
Best of luck to all who dare…
For those not as fearless, there are a wide variety of vendors, and performers to feast your eyes on. Mad props to Insomniac for thinking of it all, from charging stations to lockers and refillable water stations (bottles available for purchase) you’re set for the night.
Although tickets may be still available for purchase, don’t procrastinate. The event will likely sell out, just as the hotel blocks & shuttle passes. Be sure to plan ahead for a night you won’t forget.
