Halloween Weekend in the Northwest: Your 2016 Rave & Show Guide

October 29th

Breaks-O-Ween 3 @ Red Room Ultra Bar, Vancouver
One of our favorite Canadian Halloween traditions is back. For the last two years, Stickybuds has been headlining Halloween at Red Room, and we’re anxiously waiting for what’s in store this year. Red Room is known for its vibrant atmosphere and PK sound system. Plus, there isn’t a better way to listen to Stickybuds after hearing him on PK at Shambhala.

Along with Stickybuds, WBBL is also taking the stage.  WBBL’s Ghetto Funk style knows how to keep us in the groove. If you want a night full of funk, Red Room is the place to be. Hearing both artists on PK sound is definitely a treat, and something you can’t miss out on this Halloween. Plus, there will be some fresh local talent as they are also hosting a Breaks-O-Ween Contest, which will give someone the opportunity to open at the event.

The event is 19+, and you can get tickets here for $37.48 USD ($49.25 CAD) after fees and taxes.

Dooms Night @ PNE Coliseum, Vancouver
If you’re looking for another festival, Dooms Night has you covered. This one day festival has a stacked lineup that will get us doing the Monster Mash this Halloween.  Headlining the night is Alesso, and after his Paradiso 2015 performance we’re looking forward to his new production. Along with Alesso, Ephwurd, Headhunterz, Coone, Orjan Nielsen, and Daijo will be supporting throughout the night.

Ephwurd at Shambhala was wild. They started throwing out Ephwurd inflatable hammers during the show, and everyone began headbanging and jamming with them. Headhunterz and Coone will give us the dose of hardstyle we need to get us bumpin’.  And then Orjan Nielsen’s trance and house beats provides a little of each EDM style to create a diverse Halloween celebration.

The event is 19+, and you can get tickets here for $87.89 USD ($115.49 CAD).

Elevate Saturdays w/ R3hab @ Foundation Nightclub, Seattle
For those unable to go to FreakNight, you can still get in on some of the action at Foundation. Following R3hab’s performance at the T-Dome, he’ll be making his way to one of our favorite downtown spots to give us his take on some big room sound. The Dutch producer is well-known for his remixes, and ability to cross over multiple genres. R3hab’s Closer remix has been gaining attention of electronic fans and artists alike. It has sound elements similar to Flume, but it resonates well with the original tune.

The release of R3hab’s Closer remix makes us excited to see what he’ll produce next. We’re crossing our fingers that he’ll drop some new tracks for us that evening. The event is 21+, and you can get tickets here for $31.16 after fees and taxes.

Arty @ 45 East, Portland
It’s always a treat when Arty comes to the northwest. We had too much fun at his performance at Foundation last winter, and are curious about the new production he’ll bring. 45 East will be the place to be in Portland, and Arty will ensure we get the dose of trance and progressive house that we need. He’s been collaborating frequently the last few months with other Anjunabeats artists, and we hope to hear some of those tracks throughout the evening.

Arty’s image on the event poster captures the spirit of what we can anticipate for the show. The event is 21+, and you can get your ticket here for $19.06 after fees and taxes.
