This year too,Β the Hard Day Of The Dead festival brought together three things that are most celebratory – Halloween, rave culture and dance music, proving to be a party like no other.Β
You know what happens when dance music and Halloween combine? Just the wildest dressed party, that’s what. The Hard Day Of The Dead festival has always been incredibly popular for delivering just that. Organised aroundΒ the time of the world’s favourite spookiest festival, Halloween, the eventΒ features some of the most sickest acts from the dance music scene. And celebrating the two together are some dedicated ravers turning up in their choicest spooky wear.
