Hallowfest: Dates, Tickets & Venue (Madrid)

Halloween weekend in a Humanes warehouse

Hallowfest is a Halloween party scaled up to festival size. The 2026 edition runs from October 31 to November 1. It mixes electronic music with urban music, which means hard techno, hardstyle and UK rap share one weekend and one site.

The site is Fabrik, in Humanes de Madrid. It is one of the biggest club venues in the Madrid region. It sits on the industrial edge of a small town south-west of the capital, far from the city-centre clubs around Gran Vía and Malasaña. Coming out here means a big sound system, a big crowd and a long night.

The dates matter too. October 31, 2026 is a Saturday, and November 1 is Todos los Santos (All Saints’ Day), a national holiday in Spain. A lot of Madrid is in a long-weekend mood.

Three headliners, three crowds

The billed names show how wide the programme is:

• Charlotte de Witte: the Belgian techno DJ who founded the KNTXT label. Expect fast, dark, relentless sets.
• Brennan Heart: a Dutch hardstyle veteran, and the draw for anyone who wants kicks and euphoric melodies.
• D-Block Europe: the London rap duo of Young Adz and Dirtbike LB, carrying the urban side of the weekend.

Set times and the full lineup by day are not part of what we can verify. Check the official schedule before deciding which night to go, especially if one act is your reason for buying.

Reaching Humanes de Madrid

Humanes de Madrid is at the end of Cercanías line C-5, the commuter rail line that runs through Atocha. Allow roughly 45 minutes to an hour from central Madrid by train.

Fabrik is not next to the station. It is in the industrial estate on the edge of town, so from Humanes station you need a taxi, a ride-hailing car or a long walk along roads built for lorries. Arriving by car is the other common option, but plan who drives home sober.

For big events, organisers sometimes run shuttle buses from Madrid. See the official Hallowfest channels for whether a shuttle is offered this year and where it leaves from.

The ride home is the hard part

Cercanías trains do not run through the night. A Halloween festival at Fabrik ends when the trains have stopped, or before the first early-morning service, so leaving in the small hours takes planning.

• Save a taxi or ride-hailing app on your phone and charge it fully before you go.
• Agree on a meeting point with your group, because phone signal can be patchy when thousands of people are in one place.
• If you are waiting for the first train, check its departure from Humanes on the Renfe Cercanías site beforehand.
• Taxis queue fast at closing. Leaving a little before the final set can save a long wait.

Costumes, queues and the door at Fabrik

Lots of people come in costume. In Spain, Halloween night out leans towards horror over cute, so think zombies, skeleton face paint and blood-spattered outfits. Keep your costume practical: no bulky props, nothing that looks like a real weapon, and shoes you can stand in for hours. Mask and prop rules are set by the venue, so read the event’s entry conditions.

Spanish nightlife starts late. Nobody turns up at opening, and the crowd builds towards the main sets. Getting to the door early usually means a shorter security queue, but you will also see the floor before it fills.

Bring a physical ID. Age checks at Spanish club events are routine, and a photo on your phone often isn’t accepted. If you buy a ticket from anyone other than the official seller, you take the risk of a duplicate or fake QR code being turned away at the door.

Tickets and the official word

Buy through the ticket links on the official Hallowfest site or its social accounts. Ticket types, prices and whether a pass covers one night or both are all listed there. We don’t give figures because they change.

Confirm timing and tickets on the official site before you travel. The same applies to the venue and the final running order. Check transport and the entry rules there too, then sort out your route home. At an out-of-town warehouse venue on a holiday weekend, that is the part of the plan that matters most.
