Hells Gala 2025 Haunts Halloween Weekend with Alesso, Tape B, Levity & More

The city’s biggest and boldest Halloween celebration, Hell’s Gala, returns to Mardi Gras World for two nights of over-the-top production and enough spooky magic to keep you dancing long after the witching hour.  And this year is extra special as the first night falls on Halloween.

“For the first time since 2015, Hell’s Gala falls on Halloween. We’ve got two stacked lineups and our biggest production yet…”- Ryan Roach, Founder of Encore Entertainment

Since expanding Hell’s Gala to two nights in 2023, the event comes stacked with two different nights, two different vibes, and two completely different lineups, and a mix of sounds to capture both the chaos of Halloween and the crossover to Día De Los Muertos.

Night 1: Halloween with Alesso

Friday, October 31, we dance into Hell with Swedish progressive house legend Alesso taking the mainstage and supported by Drumcode’s Layton Giordani, Chicago house maven J. Worra, and local favorites Dr. Romance.

Night 2: Día De Los Muertos with Tape B & Levity

Then on Saturday, November 1, we crossover to the underworld with heavy bass and deep vibes. Rising star Tape B headlines with his genre-blending mix of hip-hop and dubstep, joined by viral sensation Levity, Italy’s bass innovator Eater, and New Orleans’ underground bass king Wake An Blake.

Step Into The Halloween Playground

Tricks & Treats await at Hell’s Gala. Expect costume contests, float art, installations, & more. VIP guests can also enjoy perks like an open bar, happy hour, private bathrooms, exclusive viewing areas, and access to the haunted mansion and garden area.

With New Orleans being the country’s #1 Halloween destination, Encore Entertainment has teamed up with Virgin Hotels New Orleans to offer special room rates for Hell’s Gala attendees — just $273 a night for luxury rooms minutes away from the venue when booked through hellsgala.com.
