Two Weekends Of Halloween Festivities Start Tonight
It is the first of two Halloween weekends. With the holiday following in the middle of the week, both weekends have many Halloween events planned. This weekend you will find a lot more DJ based events in the main clubs and bars and you will find those listed below for Friday night. There are still some live bands and artists in the mix. If you want to check out the rest of the weekend you can do that HERE. If you want to check out all of the concerts that were announced this week you can do so HERE
I almost wonder that if after that opening performance at the Olympics if more people are not going to see Gojira perform? That certainly raised their profile. We have been having trouble keeping Gojira albums in stock at the record store since then. Hard rock band Korn’s first album just turned thirty years old a couple of weeks ago. You can see both bands plus Spiritbox tonight at Chi Heal Center Omaha.
Critically acclaimed New Orleans funk and soul artist Neil Frances will be at Barnato tonight for a special DJ set. This is a Halloween weekend event and they are encouraging costumes. Hopefully this sets up a live show from him here in Omaha somewhere down the road. I had to miss his last one, and I would love to see him and his band perform.
Reggaeton & Latin music fans rejoice as the Gasolina Party returns tonight for a Halloween Party at Steelhouse Omaha. This is the largest touring Reggaeton party and you better bet people will be in costume.
Other events happening tonight, where costumes can easily fit into the festivities, include Emo Night at Reverb and Waiting Room Lounge. Benson Soul Society will throw some odd spooky funk and soul tunes into the mix tonight at The Sydney. Them Uke Boys are doing Halloween a little differently at Maloney’s Live. They are having a Psycho Beach Party Luau. Funk Trek is at the B. Bar tonight, and you know that party will have costumed persons. They probably won’t kick you out if you wear a costume to see area songwriters Wedding and Stephen Bartolomei at Pageturners either. Culxr House has an album release party tonight with Feed The Poet.
