Today, Insomniac has unleashed the full artist lineup for Escape: Psycho Circus, North America’s largest and most frightening Halloween dance music festival, taking over NOS Events Center on Friday, Oct. 26 and 27 in San Bernardino, CA. Headliners will enter the Asylum and begin their descent into madness for two chilling nights, experiencing unforgettable sets from more than 65 artists while exploring four unique, specially themed stages. Tickets for the festival are on sale now at EscapeHalloween.com.
Escape: Psycho Circus is an event like no other, bringing together music and the ghostly, supernatural spirit of the Halloween season. This year, Insomniac brings Headliners top-of-the-line production paired movie set quality installations, immersive and terrifying environments – and of course roaming theatrical monsters unique to the Escape universe. Featuring a diverse roster of dance music’s most legendary artists from genres including house, techno, hardstyle, dubstep, and more, notable names including Diplo, Excision, Green Velvet, Snakehips, Jamie Jones, and Martin Garrix will create a soundtrack of monstrous beats throughout the weekend.
Featuring four devilishly designed stages, Bassrush takes over Ghouls’ Graveyard, bringing heart-raving beats while iconic brands Basscon and Audiotistic host the Chopping Block each night. Following last year’s massive turnout, the Cannibal’s Tea Party stage will feature an expanded footprint as Factory 93 curates the weekend with highly anticipated collaborations that include Jamie Jones’ Paradise and Green Velvet’s La La Land.

Last year, Escape: Psycho Circus welcomed a record-setting 125,000 Headliners to the NOS Events Center for two days of dance music as they wandered through the hellscape of Escape: Psycho Circus. Headliners were transported into an immersive world of twisted attractions, creepy characters, and unforgettable sets from dance music tastemakers across four monstrous stages. Amidst the sinister Psycho Circus, fans enjoyed the revolving carousel, contortionists, fortunetellers, and burlesque shows all weekend long. Over 5,000 revelers dared to enter the 32,000 square-foot Asylum, Escape’s largest and most intricate haunted maze. The frightening theater experience recreated 30 distinct rooms from seven years of Escape storylines, featuring 120 costumed actors and 25 sound systems. Those brave enough to admit themselves into the Asylum were dressed in a straitjacket and mask before entering the dark and dismal halls of the ward. Guests explored the twists and turns inside the maniacal Mad Hatter’s mind, where padded cells, blood showers, and graveyards awaited.
Two-day General Admission tickets starting at $199.95 plus fees for Escape: Psycho Circus are currently available for purchase on EscapeHalloween.com
