Billed as the world's largest Halloween dance music festival, Escape marked its spooky return to the hallowed grounds of the NOS Events Center this past weekend with some terrifyingly fun surprises.
Known as one of Insomniac Events' most immersive experiences, the two-day event included a new design and expanded extension to its sinister San Bernardino location. Some of these changes included the expansion of the Sewer District, the movement of the Crazy Town area, the addition of Voodoo Village, and a modification of the Wicked Woods stage.
Additionally, this year's event marked the beginning of Insomniac's partnership with beloved electronic music brand, Boiler Room. Held within The Cauldron, the warehouse venue included the cultural curator's signature 360° atmosphere over two days of multi-genre productions.
The 2024 edition of Escape would also be the last time attendees could be entertained by one of the festival's most iconic features, The Grimm.
The giant puppet skeleton, which dominated the decks inside the main stage for years, is finally being buried after years of eerily dominating the venue's megastructure. In a post from the event instagram pagethe company revealed that it would replace The Grimm and return to its Psycho Circus theme by 2025.
The Grimm was just one of many stages that took place within the extensive layout of the world's largest Halloween dance music festival. From massive race tracks to intimate art cars, each distinct stage was home to a variety of artists from all corners of the electronic dance space.
