What's on

The Halloween Massacre takes over Gateshead International Stadium on Friday, 30 October, running from 4:30 pm through to 11 pm. VIEZE ASBAK headline the bill, bringing the energy all day long across what promises to be a properly immersive festival experience.

The vibe

Expect the kind of electric atmosphere only a Halloween dance festival can deliver. This is a full-day affair designed to build momentum from late afternoon into the evening, with the intensity ramping up as darkness falls. It's less about sitting down and more about moving, sweating, and losing yourself in the music with a few hundred other people in fancy dress.

Getting tickets

Tickets are available through Skiddle. Pricing details vary, so check the listing for current rates. 18+ only, so bring ID.
