The Freaky Deaky 2026 map is out. The Halloween festival returns to Travis County Expo Center in Austin next week, and the official account posted the layout on Tuesday 20 October. The Revival edition runs on Friday 30 and Saturday 31 October, and it’s 18+.
Where the stages sit on the Freaky Deaky 2026 map
There are four stages. The Reactor takes the big field in the top left corner. The Lab is next door, with the main VIP area tucked between the two. The Chamber is over on the right. Meanwhile, The Circuit sits at the bottom of the site with its own VIP section.
Freak VIP is in the middle of the grounds. It has three separate access points. The Haunted House is up beside The Lab. The map key also marks a Twilight Cinema, a costume contest, lockers, first aid and free water stations.
Everyone comes in at the bottom right corner. GA, GA+ and VIP each get their own entry lane there.
Who plays which stage
The stage split comes from the official stage posters. ILLENIUM and Slander head up Saturday on The Reactor, and Odd Mob, Bonnie x Clyde and D.O.D play there too. On Friday, Crankdat, Sidepiece, Whethan and Disco Lines have The Reactor.
The Lab has the club-leaning bill. Hannah Laing, DJ Heartstring and Faster Horses play it on Friday. Then Interplanetary Criminal, X CLUB., Flava D and Mary Droppinz take over on Saturday. For bass, go to The Circuit. Liquid Stranger, Zingara and Boogie T are there on Friday, and Blondex, Restricted and Jazzy b2b Jowi follow on Saturday.
Hours, parking and wristbands
Gates open at 3pm both days, and the music stops at midnight. Parking and the box office open an hour earlier, at 2pm. On-site parking costs $27 a day. However, tailgating and sleeping in cars aren’t allowed.
Shipping closed on 9 October, so newer orders need a wristband pickup. Early pickup runs on Wednesday 28 and Thursday 29 October, from noon to 8pm, at the Aloft Austin Airport. After that, it’s the box office at the venue. The festival goes ahead rain or shine unless the weather turns dangerous. Set times haven’t been posted yet.
Insomniac’s Halloween festival in California has also put its map out. Our Escape Halloween 2026 map covers NOS Events Center, and there’s more in our US Festivals section.
