This was my 4 th Escape and it is so consistent for the decorations, activities, and the performers like I said. The performers are so awesome and always so happy and friendly. The details and love that go into this festival is truly incredible. Insomniac and Pasquale Rotella create a totally immersive experience for Halloween across the entire grounds and for the stages. That said, if you can handle the crowds depending on how far in into each structure for a set, then you are good to go and having a blast with your friends.
They are way more intense than the other NOS festivals during the year. I think this is definitely true and you can tell when you go through security. So many ravers will say that PLUR is not so out there per se. I know most would say that HARD Summer is larger, and maybe that is right, but because there are 5 stages it does not get as packed at each stage like it does forEscape.Įscape of course brings a large number of non-ravers to this festival. One does have to know what they are getting themselves into though.The rave has the largest attendees out of all the festivals at NOS. Escape was number 13 on the festival stop from the last twelve months with 2 left in the year. This blog post is about the sights, the sounds, and feelings from one raver who had the best time ever. The Grimm, main stage, could barely keep from blasting off of the NOS fairgrounds.

The SoCal rave community was in full force and brought an enormous energy. Daniel had gone to Escape in 2021 so he was especially excited for the this year’s lineup and his first time experiencing VIP at Insomniac’s biggest or largest ticket sales rave outside of EDC by way of attendance and all of the activities and Halloween installation experiences.ĭaniel from San Francisco Won 2 VIP 2-Day Tickets A truly incredible experience for our winner Daniel from San Francisco won and took his cousin from Orange Country.

This Escape was different though and very special becauseRavers Naturals gave away 2 free 2-day VIP tickets to Escape. Next I was excited to see Subtronics and very intrigued to see some of what Marshmello’s set would be like which I’ll explain why later in the article. Tiësto’s set is a true rave and party from the legend it would be my 5 th time seeing him in 12 months.
It was my 2 nd time seeing him this year and I could barely handle the wait. I came to see Martin Garrix’s set after his album this year ‘Sentio’ is hands down the best of the year. I loved all the new locale additions that were made to the layout of Escape Halloween, and these enhancements really added some new flavor to the always killer atmosphere that Insomniac creates with their Escape event each and every year.Escape Halloween 2022 marked the 4th Escape in a row and the lineup was per usual - off the charts. Over the last few years, Escape has become our favorite Halloween tradition, and it was so great to get back there for 2021 and get some semblance of normalcy back after the last 18 months or so. Later in the evening, we decided to check out an array of sets going on, including VNSSA (who ruled), Cirez D (aka Eric Prydz), and then we wrapped the night stage hopping between Adam Beyer, Tchami, and Jauz to close out our Escape Halloween 2021 experience. Saturday night, our focus was a bit more on the Halloween vibes, as we spent more time hanging around the various themed areas at Escape, like Crazytown and the Psycho Circus grounds where attendees could take in a show, speak to fortune tellers and tarot card readers, or just hang out with some of the circus freaks roaming about the grounds. We also caught most of the set from Lady Faith over at the Sanitarium stage that night before heading to The Grimm, and as a new fan of hers, she totally blew me away with her performance at Escape Halloween. Considering this was my first live music event post-pandemic, it was just nice to immerse myself in all things EDM for the evening after all these months. On Friday night, we made our way through thousands and thousands of attendees as we descended upon the NOS grounds that were fully decked out for Halloween, and we spent most of our evening at the Grimm Stage, where the triple threat lineup of Eric Prydz, The Chainsmokers, and DJ Snake capped off the evening and nearly blew the roof off the outdoor venue. Over the Halloweekend, this writer made the trek out to the NOS Events Center in San Bernardino, California, for the return of Insomniac’s Escape Halloween music festival after having to skip last year’s festivities due to the ongoing pandemic, and for both nights, I had an absolutely incredible experience that renewed my Halloween spirit and further fueled my love for electronic music.
