Halloween has quickly become the second largest live music holiday behind NYE. This year's spooky holiday is one of the best fans have seen in several years. Pretty much anyone and everyone's favorite band will be playing somewhere. The tricky day also opens up the opportunity for bands to do things that are out of the ordinary. You know, wear costumes, play a themed show, or cover a strange album as Phish will do. There are even a few huge festy's over the weekend. Phish and their Festy 8 will basically be the spot, but Las Tortugas isn't far behind. The only problem with that is that it leaves us mid-westerners and east-coasters with a hefty bill to see either of these Cali based fests. Thank Jah that the Disco Biscuits LOVE Chicago!
So where will you be on Halloween? Here is a list of your favorite bands and where they will be. You can go check them out, but be scared, be very scared...crazy, boogyman things happen on Halloween and you will most definately have to go outside after dark if you hit one of these spots.
