There’s no shortage of frighteningly good entertainment this Halloweekend in Northeastern Pennsylvania! Just check the rundown below for who’s playing where and which witch is which. These bands and artists are spellbound to keep the thrills and chills coming to you live through the end of Spooktober.
All venues/events listed in no particular order, the lineup changes weekly.
This week’s cover photo: Premier NEPA-based party band, Black Tie Stereo will once again perform the giant annual Reaper’s Revenge Halloween Party at Montage Mountain the Friday night before Halloween 2024! The four-piece cover band will bring their haunting high-energy to the stage to make this the ultimate Halloween celebration for all their unsuspecting victims — uh, I mean, guests.
