\n\t\t\t\t\t\tHalloween is around the corner.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

Samantha Thornfelt<\/p>\n

There are three types of people in this world. The large majority who classify themselves as Christmas people. The offshoots who claim an obscure holiday like Valentine\u2019s Day or Thanksgiving Day. And finally, the large contingent of people for whom Halloween is their favorite holiday.<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n

For the latter, Halloween is really a month-long celebration. And we have to give it to them, they often throw a damn good party. While there\u2019s no statistical proof, it seems there\u2019s a large overlap between the people who enjoy the theatrics and drama of live music and the one night of the year where dressing up and performing is the status quo.\u00a0<\/p>\n

So if you\u2019re looking for a musical event that isn\u2019t a house party, here\u2019s your guide to shows around All Hallows\u2019 Eve<\/a> in Big D.\u00a0<\/p>\n

CLOSE\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

The Dallas Symphony Orchestra <\/a>is playing quite possibly the greatest Halloween movie of all time with a live score Oct. 9-11. This one is for the folks who might be busy on Halloween Day this year; after all, it is a Saturday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Black Flag at AM\/FM<\/p>\n

Black Flag was one of the first punk outfits of the \u201880s before breaking up in 1986. Since then, they\u2019ve recruited almost an entirely new roster, with only guitarist Greg Ginn remaining. Now Texas-based, they\u2019ll play a Halloween day show<\/a> at the outdoor venue.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Dexter and the Moonrocks at the Bomb Factory\u00a0<\/p>\n

Dexter and the Moonrocks are having a good year. The Texas band from the middle of nowhere has had a few songs rise to TikTok virality. This year, they\u2019ll be playing a show at the Bomb Factory on the night of Halloween<\/a>. The band is known for its commitment to bits, so if you\u2019re looking for a good time, this will be it.\u00a0<\/p>\n

LadyLove\u2019s Halloween Bash <\/p>\n

One of the most popular bars in Dallas<\/a> is throwing a Halloween bash. The bar encourages dressing up for its theme nights pretty much all month long<\/a>, so get ready for what they have in store for this spooky season.\u00a0It all culminates in one big Halloween party on Oct. 31 woth DJs Brandon Blue and Rooney Toons.<\/p>\n

Stage Fright: A Halloween Family Festival 2026<\/p>\n

On Halloween morning, the AT&T Performing Arts Center is throwing its 5th annual Halloween Family Festival<\/a>. As a bonus, the Dallas Zoo brings some spooky animals to this celebration. There will be DJs and dance parties that are safe for kids, too.<\/p>\n

Little Big Town<\/p>\n

Country is probably not the first genre of music you think of around the spookiest holiday of the year, but Little Big Town might challenge that. The Grammy-winning quartet\u2019s For the Art Of It Tour<\/a> is coming to the Music Hall at Fair Park on Oct. 31.<\/p>\n
