We’re fast approaching spooky season’s summit. If you’ve still not sorted out your plans to nod to All Hallow’s Eve, there’s still time to make a date with the devil and boogie at a large-scale event this weekend.
Over at Industry City, House Of Yes is joining forces with them for the Vampire Ball, having just partied with City of Gods last weekend. With the event taking place across multiple rooms, you aren’t finding larger spooky parties across NYC than this, with ‘blood raves’, ‘dungeons of deviance’, and stacked musical bills all to be found this weekend as you don some terrifying attire.
Taking place across this Halloween Weekend in NYC, here’s what you need to know about the two Vampire Ball events.
Vampire Ball
Taking place on Halloween weekend, with events on both Friday, October 30 and Saturday, October 31, Vampire Ball is NYC’s biggest spooky party. With an eye-watering 10 stages set up across Industry City, this brings a ‘Blood Rave’ to Brooklyn as well as dungeons, interactive art, burlesque cabaret, a cursed potion bar, and more surprises ready to rise from the graves on the night.
If you’re heading to the NYC Village Halloween Parade, Vampire Ball is the official warm-up and afterparty, so there’s scope to have a stacked weekend of spooky activity. Going straight from the parade into the party is what the true dancing ghouls of Halloween will have on their skeletal roster.
With 10 rooms, there’s also scope for a truly eclectic lineup of music, with huge sets planned for both nights, ranging from techno to reggaeton to UK Garage to hyperpop to house to rock & roll.
On the Friday, you catch the likes of Mallrat, Eli Escobar, Alice Longyu Gao, Andhim, deBasement, Wreckno and many more.
Then, on Halloween itself, the attendees of Vampire Ball will have a dance to COBRAH playing a GAGBALL set, spitroasty3k (aka Rhian Teasdale of Wet Leg), IN PARALLEL, Flowdan, DJ Boring, Todd Edwards, MODA, and more.
The bill is stacked across the 10 rooms with seven stages of music, and will be complete with all the truly inspired costumes that the crowd bring alongside to match the energy of the night.
Oh, and if you need to be steered in a certain direction when deciding what to wear, Vampire Ball have listed out a few terms that might get you inspired. These include ‘Vamp Chic’, ‘Fangs and Leather’, ‘Gothic Girlies’, ‘Blood-spattered everything’, ‘Dracula Drag’, ‘Yaaaasssferatu’, and ‘Fetish and Fangs’, among others.
Happy undead raving!
The Vampire Ball takes place on Friday, October 30 and Saturday, October 31. You can find out more and book your spot at either edition of the Vampire Ball here.
