The Crypt Stage Joins Freaky Deaky NOLA

Freaky Deaky NOLA has expanded its inaugural lineup with The Crypt, a newly announced second stage bringing 15 additional artists to Mardi Gras World. The more intimate stage will add house, techno, bass, and underground sounds to the festival's two-day Halloween lineup.

On Friday, October 30, CID and Layla Benitez will lead The Crypt's lineup, along with Stryfe, Romancing the Stoned, Xsomnia, Merger, Da$on, and AVea De Lune. Saturday's lineup will feature William Black and Distant Matter, followed by DJ Taf, GMUR, Viet-Tec, and Krado.

About Freaky Deaky NOLA

This two-night event will feature dance music, next-level outdoor production, and an unforgettable Halloween experience. This event is presented in partnership with Boys of the Boot Inc.

New Orleans is the perfect city for a festival built around Halloween festivities. The festival's iconic scenery of Mardi Gras World will feature two stages and high-caliber outdoor festival production. For several years, the three promoters have cultivated Halloween dance and fun in New Orleans to produce events that draw in fans from around the United States. Today, they aim to bring together over 50 years of expertise to create Freaky Deaky NOLA.

"New Orleans is home. It's where I threw my first raves over 30 years ago, so this one's personal," James "Disco" Donnie Estopinal Jr., founder of Disco Presents, said in a press release. "Ryan, Rob, Mike and I have all been part of this scene for a long time, and bringing Freaky Deaky here together just feels right. I think people are going to love what we've built."
