Festival season traditionally comes to a close at the end of the summer, but that does not mean the festivities have to stop there. Halloween springs more major events, and out in southern California where it is always 75 and sunny, major EDM promotor Insomniac Events will put on its annual Escape event with some of the biggest DJs in the world. Insomniac has announced the first wave of acts who will be performing over the last two days of October, including Above & Beyond, Martin Garrix, Eric Prydz, Dash Berlin, DJ Snake, Seven Lions, Moby, Laidback Luke, Mat Zo and more.

The lineup includes some special stage additions with Richie Hawtin hosting his ENTER concept on both Friday (Oct. 30) and Saturday (Oct. 31) that should include some of the members of his label. Since Eric Prydz will be there, a surprise Cirez D set could be in the works, but that might just be wishful thinking.

Laidback Luke will bring his Super You & Me concept to Escape on Saturday, Oct. 31, and just looking at the lineup, his wife Gina Turner will probably join him, Mixmash Records member D.O.D. will probably also join with other acts yet to be named.

Friday, Oct. 30, will be a bit more bass heavy with names like Excision, Flux Pavilion and Funtcase all joining the Bassrush Experience stage, while Saturday will have a more subdued house-y vibe billing acts such as Kidnap Kid, Breach and Shaun Frank.

See the full lineup below with the breakdown by day. Escape 2015 will occur on Oct. 30 and Oct. 31 at the NOS Center in San Bernadino. It is an 18 and older event. More acts will be announced soon.

Single and two day tickets are on sale now starting at $159 for a two day pass and $89 for a single pass.
