About this event
Melbourne’s late-night crowd knows there’s nothing quite like Halloween in the city, and this rave at 170 Russell has earned a reputation for going all out. If you’re after an excuse to dress up and dance until morning, this is the night to embrace your dark side.
Melbourne’s Biggest Halloween Rave Returns
For one night only, Russell Street becomes a nightmare.
The lights go out. The music gets louder. The creatures come out to play.
Step inside Billboard Nightclub as it transforms into a terrifying Halloween playground featuring three massive rooms, horror-inspired production, roaming performers, and thousands of partygoers dressed for the occasion.
After years of sold-out Halloween events, we’re taking things darker, bigger, and louder than ever before.
Whether you’re a slasher villain, possessed doll, vampire, zombie, demon, ghost, or something far more disturbing… this is your night.

WARNING

Not everyone makes it home.
See you in the dark.
170 Russell is right in the heart of the city, surrounded by laneway bars and late-night food spots. The club is famous for its energy and sound system, so expect queues, big crowds and a pulsing dancefloor. Halloween here is never half-hearted: people put real effort into their costumes and the venue goes heavy on the theatrics, so you feel like you’re stepping into another world. This is one for anyone who loves electronic music, costume parties and a bit of spectacle. What sets it apart is the sheer scale and the crowd’s commitment-this isn’t a half-empty dancefloor with a few plastic pumpkins, it’s wall-to-wall costumed locals and students making the most of Melbourne’s party scene.
