KCRW's massively big Halloween party is back. The radio station today announced the lineup and details about the October 30th 21-and-over event, which covers five themed rooms inside downtown's Park Plaza.
Masquerade: A Halloween Costume Ball & Dance Party includes the vaudeville circus troupe Lucent Dossier, food trucks, 13 KCRW DJs and performances by Cut Chemist, The Duke Spirit and Gram Rabbit (KCRW is offering free downloads of their music).
Advance tickets are $75, but are $10 cheaper if bought in advance before noon Monday. Door price is $85.
LAist covered both the bands and the costumes at the event last year. Check the photos out here (bands) and here (costumes).
