Haunted Fest Pittsburgh

Haunted Fest Pittsburgh takes over Stage AE on Friday, October 30, bringing a full night of electronic music to the city just before Halloween. It's an outdoor festival, so the whole thing happens under the open sky rather than inside a club, which changes the feel of a night like this.

The lineup is built around four names: Tape B, Mersiv, Distinct Motive, and SVDKO. All four work within the bass-heavy side of electronic music, so the night stays in one general sonic territory rather than jumping between styles. Tape B and Mersiv are the biggest names on the bill, and having them on the same stage gives the night a clear center of gravity. Distinct Motive and SVDKO round out the roster, and since it's a festival format, you'll get sets from each of them throughout the evening rather than a single act taking the whole night.

Because it's an outdoor show, the weather will play a part in how the night goes. October 30 in Pittsburgh can be anything from a crisp autumn evening to something much colder, so keep that in mind when you're planning what to wear. The outdoor setting also means the music carries differently than it would in a closed room, and the open air gives the whole thing a bit more breathing room.

Doors open at 6 PM, and the music runs from there. If you're planning to catch every set, getting there early is the way to do it. The festival is at Stage AE, and it runs on Friday, October 30, 2026.
