Slap on your Halloween gear and hit up these Halloween parties and festivals happening all around Singapore this weekend and next.
The anonymous individuals behind Halloween Rave Underground return with a ninth edition that’s “3 times the BANG”. Details have been deliberately kept a secret, but what we do know is that it won’t be held at the same location as its previous parties, nor will the party take place at a club. A “haunted” mansion has been earmarked for this mega rave party and veteran guest DJs are set to bring the house down with a huge selection of tunes. Grab your tickets and stay tuned to their Facebook event page for more details.
Date: October 28th
Time: 9pm–3am
Venue: Unknown
