The Vampire Ball is a timeless rite of the undead. For millennia, vampires have convened in secret to revel in shadow, to dance, drink, and surrender to the night. This Halloween, we invite you to join our ancient gathering as we transform a massive NYC warehouse complex into a macabre music and arts festival. We have summoned a menagerie of artists & music collectives to cavort across 7 stages, each pulsing with its own distinct music flavor and enticing side quests.

The Vampire Ball 2025 takes place at Industry City in Brooklyn. The programming is spread across a labyrinth of indoor & outdoor spaces spanning multiple cavernous buildings. Follow your senses to reveal your fate for the night.

Our 7 stages come in 7 uniquely different flavors, spanning house, techno, baltimore & jersey club, electro, EBM, italo, dark disco, uk bass, uk garage, neo perreo, live rock and heavy metal, and sounds the defy categorization. In short, the music will be extremely good. Vampires don’t f*ck around when it comes to dancing.

Shotgun tickets is our preferred ticketing platform. Tickets are also available on DICE, Resident Advisor, and Eventbrite for a higher fee. Do yourself a favor and grab a Shotgun ticket.

Showing up to a Vampire Ball without a costume is the surest way to become the next meal for a blood thirsty creature. No costume = Enter at your own risk.

Fangbangers are welcome, but please, we like our dinner to look like a snack.

Vampires from every millennium are invited. The youngest vampires we can admit must be 21+ to enter and have a valid form of ID. There is no upper age limit; ancients don’t forget to brush the dust and cobwebs off of your leather and velvet.

Yup, we are really doing a blood rave. You will have the option to opt-in to participate. If this is not your thing, you can simply avoid the area where it all goes down. If this is your thing, come prepared to get messy. More details coming soon.

What happens in the dungeon stays in the dungeon. Any further questions can be directed to the head mistress of CVLTVS.
