Brijean, Colloboh

Oct 31 – Nov 1, 2026 $16 Camille's at The Bellwether, 3335 …

Halloween in Los Angeles sorts everyone into two camps by about nine p.m. One camp wants a haunted maze and a scream. The other just wants to dance somewhere good, in a costume, without queueing behind a thousand people in the same store-bought outfit. Brijean is Brijean Murphy on congas and voice with Doug Stuart producing — she has played percussion behind Mitski, Poolside and Toro y Moi, and the project is what happens when a percussionist gets to lead. Disco, nineties house, a real hand on the drums rather than a loop. Colloboh plays too. It is billed as a DJ set, which in their hands means the percussion still shows up. Camille's is the smaller room at The Bellwether, west of downtown, and it is the correct size for this: a real dancefloor instead of a spectacle. Saturday, October 31. Nine p.m. Costumes obviously. The good Halloween party is always the one somebody had to tell you about.

Lord Of The Rave

Oct 31, 2026 Queen Bee's Art & Cultural Center,…

Halloween in San Diego is mostly bars charging a cover to watch people in store-bought costumes ignore each other. The alternative, if you know where it is, is a converted art center in North Park where the costumes are the point and the bass is loud enough to feel behind your sternum. Queen Bee's is a community arts building the rest of the year, which changes what this feels like. It is not a club with a Halloween theme bolted on; it is a room that normally hosts poetry nights and dance classes, cleared out and turned over to heavy bass for one night. Low ceilings and a wood floor do something to sub-bass that a purpose-built club specifically tries to prevent. The lineup runs across dubstep, trap, house and techno rather than staying in one lane, so the floor turns over every hour. Nine PM to two AM. October 31 at Queen Bee's Art & Cultural Center, 3925 Ohio Street. If your group has spent three weeks failing to agree on Halloween plans, put this in the chat and let it settle the argument.

Expression Halloween: Dave Aju, Heidi Lawden, Masha

Oct 31, 2026 Yamashiro Hollywood, 1999 N Sycamo…

Most Halloween parties in this city are held in rooms built last decade to look like they were built last decade. This one is in a hillside palace finished in 1914, put up by two brothers who wanted a replica of a mountain estate near Kyoto and then filled it with an Asian art collection reportedly worth millions at the time. Silk walls, a courtyard garden, a six-hundred-year-old pagoda on the grounds, and the basin laid out below you through the windows. Putting a deep house party inside it on October 31 is a genuinely strange idea and that is the appeal. Rooms with that much wood and open air swallow the low end and push everything else forward, so the sets land warmer. Dave Aju, Heidi Lawden and Masha all work that end of house rather than the peak-time end. Nine PM to two AM. Costumes read differently against that architecture, and the people who go elaborate rather than funny win the night. Hollywood, 1999 North Sycamore Avenue, up the hill behind the boulevard.

The Creepy Creeps, Mistress 77, Widows, Rey Wolf

Oct 31, 2026 Casbah, 2501 Kettner Blvd, San Die…

Halloween as an adult is usually a bar charging eleven dollars to watch strangers in store-bought costumes look at their phones. You have done that version. It is not the one you remember wanting. The alternative is a room where the band is also in costume and has been for twenty years. The Creepy Creeps play monster-movie garage surf in masks, which is the sort of commitment that stops reading as a gimmick somewhere around the second song and starts reading as a genuine belief system. Three more acts behind them, so the night has actual shape instead of one set and a DJ. Doors at eight, first band at nine. Four bands on Halloween night means you will be there until it is November. Saturday October 31, Casbah, 2501 Kettner Blvd. Wear something. The horror-punk corner of this city is small, permanent, and considerably older than you would guess from the crowd.

Club Sabbat: Halloween

Oct 31 – Nov 1, 2026 Spin Nightclub, 2028 Hancock St, S…

For most of the country this is the night you borrow a costume. For a certain kind of San Diegan it is the one night a year the rest of the world turns up dressed the way you already dress, and the feeling lands somewhere between vindication and mild irritation. This one takes all three floors, which has not happened before. Two rooms of music run at once - one set of DJs on the main floor, another in the side room - and the third level opens onto a rooftop with a photo spot built around a fire sculpture and vendors selling the sort of jewelry no mall carries. Shibari performers work in rotation through the night. An aerialist goes up at midnight. There is a coat check, which matters more than it sounds when the outfit took three weeks to build. Spin Nightclub, 2028 Hancock Street. Nine until very late, twenty-one and over. The regulars have been doing this one for years.

Morten

Oct 31 – Nov 1, 2026 Academy LA, 6021 Hollywood Blvd, L…

Somebody has to make the enormous records. Not every night wants a challenging one, and there is an honest craft in building something designed to work on twenty thousand people at once. Morten is the Danish producer who spent years developing what he and David Guetta named future rave — a harder, darker take on big-room built for main stages, and a sound that got copied fast enough that its origin is already getting forgotten. Hearing it in a Hollywood club of a few hundred rather than a festival field is a genuinely different experience: the production is designed for distance, so up close it hits considerably harder than intended. Halloween night proper, on the boulevard, and the room will be entirely in costume. Ten at night on Saturday the thirty-first.

Carlsbad Village Street Faire 2026

Nov 1, 2026 Grand Avenue, Carlsbad Village, Ca…

Grand Avenue with no cars on it smells like kettle corn and ocean at the same time. Twice a year Carlsbad Village shuts the streets and hands them over to what gets called the largest single-day street fair in the country, and the autumn edition is the one locals use to ease themselves into the holidays. Hundreds of vendors line Grand and the blocks around it: handmade goods, art, jewelry, plants, street food coming at you from every direction, a beer and wine garden, live music drifting between the booths with nobody quite in charge of it. It is a walk-all-day event, equal parts shopping and eating and unapologetic people-watching, two blocks off the sand with the breeze running straight through it. Strollers, dogs, and grandparents all fit. Come early, because the village fills fast, and plan on wandering with no particular route. Bring a tote bag and the person you most like walking with in no hurry.

Riverside Día de los Muertos Festival 2026

Nov 1, 2026 Downtown Riverside, Main St, River…

The marigold petals make a path. You follow it not because you're told to, but because you already know where it leads — back to someone who isn't here anymore, and forward into a room full of people who understand why remembering them matters this much. Riverside's Día de los Muertos Festival spans six to seven blocks of downtown on November 1–2, making it one of the largest Day of the Dead celebrations in the United States. Over 80 community-built altars line the streets, each one a love letter disguised as art. Two stages of live music keep the energy moving. Folklorico and Aztec dancers anchor the tradition. Lowrider displays that are art, not transportation. Face painting that turns you into the person your abuela would recognize instantly. This is not a themed event for an audience. This is a tradition that survived colonization, commercialization, and forgetting. The community builds it with their own hands every year because the dead deserve to be remembered beautifully. Riverside. November 1–2. Free admission. Bring flowers.

Monsta X Nexus in LA - Post-Concert Cupsleeve Event

Nov 1, 2026 bobaTEAque, 1960 N Tustin St, Oran…

The worst part of a concert is the parking lot afterward. Everyone scatters, the ringing in your ears starts to fade, and the thing you just lived through begins converting into a memory you will mostly carry alone. The next morning is worse. Somebody in Orange figured out the obvious fix and booked the day after: a boba shop, noon to five, full of people who were in that same building and want to go through it out loud, minute by minute, arguing about the setlist and which song broke the room. Fan vendor booths along the wall, giveaways, and no requirement that you bought a ticket to anything — walk-ins are welcome, which quietly means the people who could not go are invited to hear about it from the people who did. That is a generous way to run a room. Sunday, November 1, bobaTEAque on North Tustin. If you went, you already know who you need to sit across from.

Downtown Chula Vista Día de los Muertos Celebration 2026

Nov 1, 2026 Third Ave & E St, Chula Vista, CA …

Third Avenue in Chula Vista does not look like this on any other day. On the first Sunday in November, the six-block stretch from Third Avenue through Memorial Park transforms into an ofrenda-lined corridor where the marigolds are real, the face paint is professional, and the abuelas in the crowd are not performing their grief — they are sharing it with a community that understands it does not need to be explained. The community ofrenda on Davidson Street invites you to bring a photo of someone you have lost and pin it to the altar alongside strangers' photos, and there is something in that act of public remembrance that the private altars at home cannot replicate. Live music at four locations, a car show, artisan vendors at Mercado by Las Jefas Market, and the Catrín and Catrina costume contest that gets more elaborate every year. Free and family-friendly. Sunday, November 1, from 3 PM to 7:30 PM.

The Black Angels with Ghostwoman

Nov 1, 2026 $59+ The Observatory North Park, 2891 U…

Some music is not meant to be listened to so much as disappeared into. The Black Angels build slow, droning cathedrals of reverb and tremolo — psychedelia with a dark heart, the sound of Texas heat and bad dreams and a fuzz pedal held down forever — and live it becomes a kind of collective trance, the whole room swaying under oil-projection light until time gets a little soft. This is the band at the center of the modern psych revival, the ones who started a festival to gather the whole tribe, and their shows still feel like a ceremony for people who prefer their transcendence a little sinister. Ghostwoman opens the fog. Sunday, November 1, 2026, doors 7pm, show 8pm, Observatory North Park, all ages. Come let a wall of sound wash your week off you, and float there awhile with a few hundred strangers doing the same. Go alone if you have to — this is a room where being alone in a crowd is the entire point.

DAX - The Anger Management Tour

Nov 1, 2026 Ventura Music Hall, 1888 E Thompso…

Rapping directly at people who are having the worst year of their life is a lane almost nobody occupies seriously, and the audience for it is enormous and largely invisible to the industry. Dax built a following of millions on that — verses about depression, faith, and being underestimated, delivered without irony and without much interest in what critics make of it. The relationship with that audience is the whole thing; people arrive at these shows having written to him and been answered. It produces a room unlike a normal rap show, closer to something congregational. A Ventura hall on a Sunday night, flat floor, a few hundred people. Music at 8:00 PM on East Thompson Boulevard. Whoever you know who has been quiet lately is who this crowd brought with them.

Portland Book Festival 2026 — Portland, OR

Every day · Next Nov 2 1219 SW Park Ave, Portland, OR 972…

Portland doesn't have a literary scene. Portland is a literary scene — a city where the world's largest independent bookstore employs more people than some towns, where poets perform to sold-out rooms, where the kid at the coffee shop is reading Borges without irony. The Portland Book Festival is the annual proof, and in 2026 it expands for the first time into a full week: November 2 through 8, stretching across the South Park Blocks, the Portland Art Museum, McMenamins Mission Theater, Mississippi Studios, and Lan Su Chinese Garden. The main gathering on November 7 fills the South Park Blocks with more than 100 local, regional, and nationally acclaimed authors — readings, panels, pop-up writing workshops, a massive book fair, and, because this is Portland, food trucks parked on every corner. But the real expansion is in the surrounding days: evening events at music venues and restaurants, cross-disciplinary programming that pairs authors with live music and visual art, culinary experiences built around books about food, and late-night programming that turns what used to be a single-day book fair into a cultural festival with literature at its center. If you're the kind of person who keeps a running list of books you want to read that's longer than any list of books you've actually finished — who gets unreasonably excited when a favorite author announces a new title, who has talked about starting a novel but never quite has — this is the week where your people gather. The Oregon Symphony and Mississippi Studios provide the soundtrack. Lan Su Chinese Garden provides the setting for conversations that feel like they're happening in a novel rather than at a festival. The South Park Blocks provide the November air that makes holding a warm cup of coffee while carrying three new books feel like the only correct way to spend a Saturday. What to know before you go: Portland in November is gray, wet, and beautiful. Bring a rain jacket and a tote bag large enough for impulse buys at the book fair. Powell's City of Books is a fifteen-minute walk from the main festival grounds and is the obvious pre- or post-festival pilgrimage. Events range from free to ticketed. Full schedule at literary-arts.org. The Portland Book Festival is the Pacific Northwest's largest literary event, and its expansion to a full week is itself a statement: that books are not a niche interest but a way of moving through the world, and that the people who organize their lives around words deserve more than an afternoon.

The Haunt — The Ghost Tour

Nov 2, 2026 Voodoo Room at House of Blues San …

There's a band name that tells you nothing and a tour name that tells you everything. The Haunt walks that line where post-punk meets indie pop and neither side wins — which is exactly why the Voodoo Room at three hundred capacity is the right place for them. They're the band your friend who works at the record store keeps putting on when you walk in, the kind of act that sells out small rooms and never quite gets the festival slot. If you know why that distinction matters, you already know you're going. The Voodoo Room inside House of Blues San Diego is the intimate downstairs stage where the sound hits different — low ceilings, tight quarters, and a crowd that chose a Monday night show over everything else the Gaslamp had to offer. That filter is the whole point. Monday, November 2, 2026 · 6:30 PM · Voodoo Room at House of Blues San Diego, 1055 Fifth Ave, San Diego, CA 92101 · Tickets via Live Nation

Tokyo Love Song — City Pop Night at Hello Stranger (Little Tokyo)

Monthly · Next Nov 2 Hello Stranger, Little Tokyo, Los …

You found it late one night on a phone — a song that sounded like a whole city you have never been to — and you have been chasing that feeling through laptop speakers ever since. It deserves a room. This is that room. Boogie, yacht soul, the Tokyo nightlife sound of the eighties, played off vinyl only. No laptop, no algorithm, no shuffle deciding what happens next. The crowd is specific in a way that makes the whole night work: they know the deep cuts, they can place a record by year off four bars, and nobody is standing there ironically. It runs as a recurring night at Hello Stranger in Little Tokyo — small, dim, the system loud enough to matter and quiet enough that you can hear the person beside you name the pressing. Send it to whoever sent you the song in the first place. They will know exactly what you mean, and they will clear their calendar.

Medium Build — The King of Having Fun Tour at Observatory North Park

Nov 2, 2026 The Observatory North Park, 2891 U…

You know that feeling when the whole room is moving and nobody rehearsed it — when the bass line picks up and two hundred strangers decide at exactly the same moment that tonight is the night they stop being careful. Medium Build makes music for that moment. Nick Carpenter built this project in a garage in Boise and turned it into something that fills rooms coast to coast with people who never heard the word 'indie-folk' and don't care. The live show is a sweaty, theatrical, grinning mess — brass instruments nobody expected, singalongs nobody planned, and a drummer who looks like he's having more fun than anyone in the building. The Scratch opens. Monday nights at the Observatory have a different energy than the weekend — smaller crowd, louder per capita, everyone there on purpose. If you've never heard either act, that's the point. This is the kind of Monday night that makes Tuesday morning feel like a badge of honor. Monday, November 2, 2026 · Doors 7 PM / Show 8 PM · The Observatory North Park, 2891 University Ave, San Diego, CA 92104 · All ages · Tickets via Ticketmaster

The Black Angels: Passover 2026 Tour

Nov 2, 2026 Ventura Music Hall, 1888 E Thompso…

Certain records only work in the dark, and the first one this band made is the reigning example — a drone, a tremolo, and a drummer who refuses to speed up no matter how much the song seems to want it. Twenty years on they are the reason a whole Texas psych scene exists as a scene rather than as a handful of bands, having built the festival that gathers it every year. Live, the visuals matter as much as the volume; the projections are handled by a person who has been doing it since the beginning and the whole thing is calibrated to make a room feel bigger and slower than it is. Ventura's flat-floor hall on East Thompson Boulevard suits that better than a theater would. Music at 8:00 PM on a Monday, which is its own kind of gift — the crowd that turns out for a psych show at the start of a work week is entirely people who actually wanted to be there.

Monday Evening Concerts: Skywriting - Beckett, Carson, Glass

Nov 2, 2026 Zipper Concert Hall at the Colburn…

Four figures walk a square. They never touch, never speak, never look up. Beckett specified the paths so precisely that avoiding one another becomes the entire drama, and somewhere in the middle of watching it you start recognising your own week. Between the two halves of Quad sits an intermission the program lists as one hundred thousand years, which tells you what sort of evening this intends to be. Anne Carson will be in the room reading her own Lecture on the History of Skywriting, the piece in which the atmosphere itself testifies in the first person about being written on, and she reads it alongside Robert Currie, her longtime collaborator, rather than an actor hired to voice her. Glass's Glassworks closes the night, and after ninety minutes of Beckett's arithmetic those arpeggios land less like minimalism than like mercy. November 2 at Zipper Hall, 200 S Grand Ave, curtain at eight.
