4. AniRave: Halloween at Shinjuku WARP

AniRave Halloween hits Shinjuku WARP on October 12, turning the club into an anime-fuelled party. DJs and singers drop anison (anime songs) into high-energy club sets. This year’s Halloween edition brings acts like motsu, DJ Aya Emori, ASH & Dhalsim from ASH DA HERO, and Denonbu performers, mixing anime nostalgia with club energy. Expect cosplay, glow sticks, and a floor full of fans singing and dancing along. Doors open at 3:30 p.m., with the party running until 8 p.m.

5. Back From The Grave: Halloween Ball

The 2025 mayhem has wrapped, but bring on 2026.

For those who like to celebrate Halloween in style (with a healthy dose of mayhem), this punk-rock night should tick the boxes. With an incredible 50 bands performing, Back From The Grave has it all.

The show will take place in Kabukichō and will go from 12 p.m. till dawn on Saturday, and 12 p.m. till 10 p.m. on Sunday — that means an all-nighter and then some. There will also be DJs, burlesque, and other attractions.
