Halloween Palm Springs returns to Arenas Road with all-star lineup – Desert Sun
The much-anticipated Halloween Palm Springs will return to Arenas Road in Palm Springs Oct. 30 from 4 to 10 p.m. This year’s talent will include five-octave singer Ada Vox, star of “RuPaul’s Queen of the Universe” and a finalist from ABC’s American Idol as well as highly accomplished Latin vocalist and dancer for Britney Spears, Christina Aguilar and Katy Perry, the sensational Willie Gomez.
To round out this incredible lineup are American Idol alumni David Hernandez (“Naked Boys Singing”), Mikalah Gordon (host on Channel Q 103.1 FM’s Morning Beat), avant-garde band Jesika Von Rabbit, Probe 7 and audience favorite, the hi-energy female-fueled Pulp Vixen.
This year’s DJ sets have been expanded into two areas with DJ Galaxy (KGAY 106.5 FM), DJ Lisa Pittman (who enjoys residencies in L.A. and Las Vegas), DJ Modgirl (who provides the soundtrack to many high-profile desert events) and DJ Jeffree (Channel Q 103.1 FM) spinning all night on the main stage and in our mobile Channel Q van.
Join the men of cybersocket.com along with Alexander Rodriguez of “On the Rocks” fame and the effervescent Bella da Ball as Master of Ceremonies.
