Spooky season is in full swing, which means haunted houses, scary movies, and awesome Halloween concerts nationwide. Get your crew and costume together and prepare to do the monster mash at these top Halloween concerts.

Billy Strings

Billy Strings made history recently when his new album Highway Prayers became the first bluegrass record to hit #1 on the Billboard Top Sales Chart since 2002. The last time that happened? The O Brother, Where Art Thou? soundtrack.

Perhaps Billy knew it was coming, because just days before the album topped the charts he announced the theme for Halloween in Baltimore, MD. The band presents O Billy, Where Art Thou? on October 31 followed by a special Highway Prayers show on November 1.

They're bringing many friends along for this run, including Sierra Hull, Duane Trucks, and Lindsay Lou. These shows are both sold out, but you can snag tickets from another fan for face value on CashorTrade - the official Face Value Ticket Exchange for Billy Strings.

Goose

Our friends Goose are heading to Florida for a whole week full of shows. They kick the run off in Miami Beach at the Fillmore for two shows October 29-30 and then play All Hallow's Eve at the St. Pete Pier in St. Petersburg.

The last time Goose played on Halloween, they delivered a smashing Austin Powers-themed show in 2021. What does the Feathered Fivesome have in store for us this year? Grab your tickets and enjoy the surprise!

If you need a little more sunshine, stick around for the band's November 1-2 shows in St. Augustine. CashorTrade is proud to partner with Goose to provide a Face Value Ticket Exchange.

He's headed to the Hollywood Bowl for a trio of shows from October 29-31. As far as cool Halloween shows go, it's hard to beat seeing a rock & roll legend at one of the best venues in the country.

King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard

We'll admit that it's not technically a Halloween show, but we're just so stoked about the 2nd leg of the upcoming King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard tour. It kicks off on November 1 at The Forum in Inglewood, CA with a 3-hour marathon set. Plus it's the Day of the Dead, so it's still very much a part of spooky season.

KGLW then heads to San Diego on November 2 for a special acoustic show, followed by gigs in Paso Robles on November 3 and Stanford on November 4.

Sound Tribe Sector 9 celebrates Halloween this year deep in the heart of Texas. You can catch STS9 on October 31 and November 1 at the Moody Theater in Austin, TX.

It's been a while since Tribe played a Halloween show - eight years, to be exact - so this should be a special run in one of the live music capitals of the world. They are coming off an amazing 2-night run in Chicago and are sounding great, so grab your tickets and join the party (and our STS9 Face Value Ticket Exchange group).
