In short
- The party takes up the whole night of Saturday 24 at El Arenal: it opens at 17:00 and closes at 05:00, and as the clocks go back that night, that makes thirteen actual hours of music.
- Each stage targets a different crowd: techno with Bárbara Lago and Viviana Casanova, reggaeton with Juseph and breakbeat with Lady Waks, all on the same ticket.
- Only the final tier of general admission is left, at €20.90: the four previous tiers have sold out, the €50 VIP ticket is about to, and entry is for over-18s only.
- Getting home is what needs the most planning: the organisers are laying on a coach from Montilla and other towns in the Campiña, but no special transport has been announced within Córdoba for closing time.
Córdoba is bringing Halloween forward a week. On Saturday 24 October, the Recinto Ferial El Arenal hosts Crazy World: El Baile de los Muertos, this year's edition of Halloween Córdoba Fest, with three stages from 17:00 to 05:00 devoted to techno, reggaeton and breakbeat. The general admission ticket still on sale costs €20.90.
Behind it is T4, the Córdoba promoter that has organised the Crazy World festival at the same venue since 2022. Its Halloween party is now in its third edition: it debuted on 31 October 2024 with a reggaeton area and a techno area, and in 2025 it was already spreading the line-up across three spaces, with more than 6,000 attendees expected, according to Cordópolis.
Times: 17:00 to 05:00, with an extra hour as the clocks go back
Doors open at 17:00 on Saturday and the party ends at 05:00 on Sunday 25, according to the official ticket sales. Summer time ends that night: at 03:00 the clocks go back to 02:00, so thirteen hours pass between opening and closing, not twelve. It is worth bearing in mind if you have arranged to meet someone at a specific time or are going home on the organisers' coach.
The organisers have not yet published stage times or the running order. Tickets allow you to leave and come back in, but you need the re-entry wristband to do so.
Techno, reggaeton or breakbeat: what each stage offers
T4, techno. The main stage is programmed by the promoter itself and headlined by Bárbara Lago and Viviana Casanova. The Chilean DJ returns: she already headlined the T4 area at the first Halloween, in 2024. The line-up is completed by Bizza, Álvaro Sánchez with Pablo Guadalupe on live percussion and several names who already played the T4 area in 2024, such as Dani Castillo, Joseca and the Del Árbol and Del Río b2b.
Sabotage Night, reggaeton. Juseph is the top name on this stage, with Álvaro Guerra, Betty Bunny, Carlota, Da Rossi, La Vida de Jaime and Toni Tega near the top of the bill and showcases from Monchy Jr and Plata. The organisers' press release presents it as a look at the latest sounds in electronic music; the ticket sales page simply calls it the reggaeton stage, and it is the option for those who are there more for urban music than for club sets.
Híbrida, breakbeat. This is the stage with the most continuity from 2025: Lady Waks, who played last year, headlines again. She is joined by Dub Elements with a breakbeat set, Oto with a special breaks session and Tryple-D, who according to the organisers will play his last show of 2026 here, as well as Perfectos Kabrones, Baymont Bross, Karpin and MBreaks. Speaker Reality will act as host.
The difference from 2025 lies in the techno: back then it was headlined by Deborah De Luca and Marco Faraone, regulars at Europe's big festivals; this year there is no draw of that calibre and the weight falls on Bárbara Lago and Viviana Casanova.
Tickets: the final tier is left, at €20.90
Official sales are through Fourvenues. These were the prices on 20 October:
- General admission, final tier, €20.90. The €12 promotional ticket and the €14.90, €16.90 and €18.90 tiers have already sold out.
- VIP ticket, €50: access to the stages subject to capacity, private toilets, priority entry and a dedicated bar. The sales page marks it as about to sell out.
- Coach plus ticket, €27: entry to the venue and a return coach on the Campiña route.
- Coach only, €10: does not include entry to the venue.
Entry is for over-18s only. Holders of the Bono Cultural Joven can use it on Enterticket, which sells general admission at €20.90 and VIP at €50.
To put the price in context: general admission costs little more than half a single day at Blackworks Halloween in Leganés, at €40, and well under half the general admission for Halloween Takeover in Madrid, at €58.
How to get to El Arenal and how to get home at 05:00
El Arenal is the city's fairground, on the banks of the Guadalquivir and next to the Nuevo Arcángel stadium. It is the same venue that hosted CordoVibes at the start of the month.
For those coming from elsewhere in the province, the organisers sell a return coach on the route Montilla, La Rambla, Montalbán, Fernán Núñez and Córdoba. Buying it together with a ticket costs €27, €3.90 less than buying them separately. The sales page does not yet give times or exact pick-up points.
Within the city, Aucorsa had not announced any special service for that night as of 20 October. At other concerts at El Arenal, such as Córdoba Live in 2025, it stepped up its service with its special football lines, but with return journeys just after midnight or at one o'clock, a long way from a five o'clock close. Anyone not travelling on the organisers' coach should sort out their way home before leaving the house. The rest of the region's events are in the guide to festivals in Andalusia.
