About Freaky Deaky 2026
Freaky Deaky is Austin's Halloween festival, run by Disco Presents at the Travis County Exposition Center on October 30 and 31. The 2026 edition is themed The Revival and splits 66 acts across four rooms, each with its own character.
The Reactor is the main stage and the most commercial: Crankdat, Disco Lines, SIDEPIECE and Whethan on the Friday, then ILLENIUM, SLANDER, ALLEYCVT, Odd Mob and D.O.D on Halloween itself. The Circuit goes heavier and stranger, with Liquid Stranger, Boogie T, Jantsen and Zingara. The Lab is the most interesting room on the bill, leaning UK: DJ Heartstring, Hannah Laing, Flava D, Interplanetary Criminal and Mary Droppinz. The Chamber is where the local and underground bookings live.
Expect dubstep, house, dance and electronic across 66 acts.

Costa
New York-born, DMV-based producer who came up on flips of pop and R&B hits, now writing melodic dubstep of arpeggiated synths and wonky bass.
