You’ll find us first in the queue for anything horrific and whimsical, but unfortunately due to schedule conflicts we’ve not been able to attend a Festival of the Dead event while living in the UK. But this year we’re in for a treat and can finally make it to Europe’s biggest touring Halloween show!

This event promises to be extremely unique — a mashup of circus, clubbing, and carnival in an imaginative immersive setting with giant skeleton puppets, huge fire shows, and aerialist performers. Art and death collide in this surreal world of the spirits and creatures of the night.

We’ve seen a lot of upcoming parties pair their event with garage or hip hop, but thank goodness this high octane night will bring rock, metal, and of course our favourite electronic and house music.

We’re equally excited to make our way to the Troxy again — having not been for a few years since a past Secret Cinema performance. We can’t wait to see this massive event space kitted out as a breathtaking carnival for the dead.

A mix of hauntingly stylish and terrifyingly theatrical, this experiential clubbing phenomenon promises to be a night to remember, and we can’t wait to spend the night dancing with other lost souls in London’s Underworld.

Head on over here to get your tickets today and look out for our full review post event.

As the nights darken and autumn breezes chill the bone, an array of ghoulish events present themselves to adorn your ever-filling nocturnal calendar. There are haunted houses, hayrides, and your more typical club nights. And then there’s the Halloween Ball, devilishly conceived by the exquisite minds at The Mansion London.

The location is top secret until 48 hours beforehand, but given the extravagance of The Mansion London’s previous events, we’re sure that it will be suitably one of a kind. With three dance floors, an art room, two lounges, and VIP areas, this is one huge setup! Each dance floor will feature a different genre of music, including chart toppers, house, electro, and Latin from the likes of DJ Amin Sane, DJ Fabrizia, and DJ Carlitos, whilst live musicians on sax and djembe will make this experience truly unique.

What sets the Halloween Ball apart from other events though is the sheer variety of unique entertainment throughout the space. Live fire shows, a seriously spooky graveyard, a ravenous werewolf, a mysterious clairvoyant ready to read your destinythe list of acts is endless!

Get dressed up for this one – fancy dress is mandatory and there’s a chance to win flights to New York for the best costume. And, of course, no costume would be complete without a nightmarish makeover, with makeup artists on hand to give you that final spooky touch.

Watch this space for our upcoming full review after the event!
