Most Halloween plans in Metro Detroit come down to picking one party and hoping it is the right one. This year you do not have to choose.
From October 17 through Halloween night, Diamondback Music Hall in Belleville is running five themed nights, each built for a different crowd and a different sound. Country, throwback hip-hop, a vampire rave, a college takeover, and a haunted carnival with a mechanical bull. The room stays the same, with 360 projection mapping, concert sound, and lasers, but every night feels completely different.
Here is the full lineup, what to wear, and how to get the most out of it.
Halloween 2026 at Diamondback, at a Glance
- Saturday, October 17: Saddle Up Dance Party, Morgan Wallen Night
- Friday, October 23: Travis Porter, 2000s Hip-Hop Rewind
- Saturday, October 24: Blade Rave
- Friday, October 30: Halloween Gone Wild
- Saturday, October 31: Country CarnEvil Halloween Party and Costume Contest
All five nights are 18 and up, 21 and up to drink, with a valid ID at the door.
Saturday, October 17: Saddle Up, Morgan Wallen Night
Think of this one as the warm-up. DJ Brandon plays Morgan Wallen, Top 40, and modern country until 2 AM. There are no classes and no downtime, just a full dance floor from the first song.
There is a Best Morgan Wallen Costume Contest, and the winner takes home four GA tickets to Country CarnEvil on Halloween night plus a prize pack. Show up in a mullet and cut-off sleeves and you get fast-track entry at 9. The mechanical bull runs all night and the kitchen stays open until 1.
Friday, October 23: Travis Porter, 2000s Hip-Hop Rewind
Diamondback and Polo Frost are bringing Atlanta hitmakers Travis Porter to Belleville for the biggest throwback party of the season. Make It Rain, Bring It Back, Ayy Ladies, College Girl, all of it live, with throwback hip-hop on the decks until 2 AM and a meet and greet at 12:30.
Y2K gear and costumes are strongly encouraged. It is the weekend before Halloween, so treat it like round one. VIP sections are on sale now and they are the move for groups.

Saturday, October 24: Blade Rave
Blade Rave turns the room into the Bloodbath scene from Blade. Goth, techno, and house all night, go-go dancers, cosplayers, themed cocktails, limited blood bags, custom visuals across every wall, and a midnight bloodbath.
Suggested attire is goth, industrial, steampunk, vampire, or superhero cosplay. Fair warning, if you are in the crowd for the bloodbath you may get wet. The blood is washable, but there is always a small chance it stains, so wear something you will not miss. On-site parking is $10 cash.
Friday, October 30: Halloween Gone Wild
The third annual Halloween Gone Wild, hosted by the Gone Wild crews from Central Michigan, Grand Valley, Michigan, Michigan State, Eastern Michigan, and more, with DJ Bes on the decks from 9 PM to 2 AM.
Power hour runs 9 to 10 with $5 Long Islands, $4 Orange Tea shots, and $2 tequila shots, then spooky themed cocktails the rest of the night. Costumes are recommended and VIP booths are limited.
