Faceless returns to the Turbinenhalle in Oberhausen this Halloween. On Friday 30 and Saturday 31 October, the German festival will once again deliver two nights dedicated to the harder styles, but this year its traditional Halloween weekend comes with a completely new concept. Under the name ‘Psycho City’, the venue transforms into a dark metropolis with four different districts, more than 90 artists and ten hours of music each night.

Faceless and Halloween have become inseparable over the years. Every year, the organisation goes all out at the Turbinenhalle during the final weekend of October. After taking Faceless outdoors for the very first time with its own Open Air edition this summer, the festival now returns to its industrial home in Oberhausen.
This time, the gates to Psycho City will open. The organisation describes the concept as a city completely consumed by chaos, divided into different districts such as The Capital, The Slums, The Undergrid and The Deadzone. Across four areas, hardstyle, rawstyle, extra raw, hardcore and uptempo will come together.
Two nights and more than 90 artists
Those who want to fully explore Psycho City will need two nights to do so. Faceless runs from 20:00 until 06:00 on both Friday and Saturday. Across four areas, more than 90 artists and live acts will take the stage throughout the weekend.
Friday already features plenty of standout names, including D-Block & S-te-Fan, Aversion, Sound Rush, Riot Shift, The Saints, Mutilator and The Dark Horror. There is also plenty of room for special sets and concepts. Bloodlust brings The Xtermination: Phase II, Radical Redemption celebrates 15 Years of Radical Redemption LIVE, while Fraw takes his Super Nova show to Oberhausen.
Saturday’s line-up once again covers the full spectrum of the harder styles. Sub Zero Project, Phuture Noize, Warface, Rebelion, Adrenalize, Miss K8, Spitnoise and Dimitri K are among the major names taking over the city on the second night. The programme also features special combinations such as CYBERGORE vs Riot Shift and Elmefti vs Fraw, while Deadly Guns & N-Vitral join forces to bring their Slaughterhouse act to Psycho City.
‘Your Hardest Halloween’
With two nights, four areas and more than 90 artists, Faceless is once again preparing for a massive Halloween weekend in Oberhausen.
