Insomniac Events recently announced that Escape Halloween 2021 will be returning to NOS Events Center in Southern California on Oct. 29 and Oct. 30, 2021.

In an announcement made on Twitter, the Founder of Insomniac Events, Pasquale Rotella, shared that the festival will be bringing “extra twisted horrors to your Halloween weekend, with brand new stages, new areas & thousands of your spooky faces!”

2020 would have marked the 10th Anniversary of Escape Halloween. However, the festival was canceled due to COVID-19 concerns.  Instead, this year the festival will be hosting a Virtual Rave-A-Thon on Oct. 30 and Oct. 31 at 8 PM PT via Insomniac TV here. This will be similar to what Beyond Wonderland and Nocturnal Wonderland hosted previously this year.

With the lineup expected to be announced as it nears closer to the festival dates, one can expect that next year’s Escape will be better than ever before to make up for the loss in 2020.  Some of its previous editions featured all-star performances by Armin van Buuren, deadmau5, Eric Prydz, and Zeds Dead to name a few.
