Halloween in Concert

Halloween in Concert comes to The Auditorium, M&S Bank Arena on Saturday 31 October, a live music night that falls right on Halloween. It's from the producers of Step Into Christmas, and they're billing it as a brand-new live spectacular that resurrects some of the greatest spooky hits ever recorded.

The set is built around a live band and a full cast performing a run of songs that lean into the holiday's theme. You'll hear Monster Mash, Highway to Hell, The Time Warp, Running Up That Hill, Hungry Like the Wolf, Maneater, Bat Out of Hell, It's a Kind of Magic, She Wolf, Thriller and Dancing in the Moonlight. The cast brings them to life with singing, laughter and dancing, so it's as much about the performance as the music.

Production plays a big part here, too. The show relies on state-of-the-art production, stunning stage visuals and immersive lighting to set the mood. And there's a bit of a challenge for the audience: you're encouraged to arrive dressed to the hilt, with a prize for the best costume. If you're bringing anyone under 14, they'll need to be accompanied by an adult.

Doors open at 6:30pm and the show starts at 7:30pm. Tickets start from £35.45, which includes service, facility and a £2.95 order processing fee per order. The arena is at Kings Dock, Liverpool Waterfront, L3 4FP, with on-site parking at Kings Dock providing 1,450 spaces.
