Escape Halloween is Insomniac's two-night Halloween takeover of the NOS Events Center in San Bernardino, running October 30 and 31, 2026. If you move in SoCal's electronic-music world, this is the anchor of your fall calendar.
The Psycho Circus
The Psycho Circus theme returns and turns the NOS grounds into a full haunted city for two nights. Horror-movie production, roaming performers and elaborate art installations wrap a lineup that spans house, techno, bass, trap and dubstep across multiple stages.
The Costumes Are Half The Show
The crowd treats this like the Super Bowl of Halloween fits, and the production budget shows up on every stage. It pulls tens of thousands from LA, Orange County, San Diego and across the Inland Empire.
Before You Go
This is an 18-and-over event held on Halloween weekend itself, so plan for two late nights. Tickets move in tiers — GA, GA+ and VIP — through Front Gate Tickets and the official Escape site, and the earlier passes sell fastest.
Where To Stay
If you are coming from out of the area, book lodging in the San Bernardino and Riverside corridor early. The whole region fills up that weekend, and NOS is not a venue you want a long drive home from at 2 AM.
