Halloween-themed indoor dance music festival with over 70 live acts across six stages, roaming characters, street food and fancy-dress prizes at Cambridge Junction.
Zombie Fest 9 takes over Cambridge Junction on Saturday 31 October, the region's biggest indoor Halloween festival. It's a dance music day that runs from 3pm to 11pm, with doors opening at 3pm and last entry at 9pm. The festival takes over the entire venue plus the car park, with roaming stilt walkers, fire breathers, walkabout characters, street food and fancy-dress prizes. There are more than 70 live acts and performers across six themed stages, each one run by a resident DJ. The music covers house, drum & bass, jungle, trance, hard house, garage, hardstyle, hardcore, breaks and 90s/00s classics.
Zombie Fest started in 2015 at Mildenhall Stadium as a local all-night event and has grown into one of East Anglia's key dance music festivals. It moved to Hi Cambridge in 2023 and to Cambridge Junction in 2025. Along the way it's been a UK Festival Awards finalist three times for Best Small Festival and won the Grassroots Festival Award in 2018. The organisers say this will be the biggest music event yet at the Junction, and they're already planning a tenth edition, provisionally called ZF-X.

If you want to keep going after the main event, there's the AFTERLIFE afterparty from 11:30pm to 3am, headlined by Fish56 Octagon. That's separately ticketed, so you'll need a second ticket to stay on. General admission for the main festival starts from £40 plus booking fee, and VIP tickets are £66.25. The whole thing is at Cambridge Junction, J1, J2 & J3, Clifton Way, Cambridge CB1 7GX.
