On Saturday, October 31st, 2026, this beloved tribute act transforms one of Southern California's most iconic intimate venues into a full-throttle Halloween celebration that blends nostalgia, theatrics, and pure rock energy into an unforgettable evening. Dead Man's Party is widely regarded as the premier Oingo Boingo tribute experience, faithfully recreating the theatrical new wave rock sound and wild stage presence that made Danny Elfman's legendary band a Halloween institution. Expect electrifying renditions of classics like 'Dead Man's Party,' 'Weird Science,' 'Just Another Day,' and 'Staying Alive,' delivered with the costumes, choreography, and infectious energy the originals were known for. The Belly Up Tavern's intimate layout means every spot in the house is a great one — close enough to feel the music in your chest. The Belly Up Tavern has been a cornerstone of the San Diego live music scene since 1974, known for its warm acoustics, passionate crowds, and a storied history of incredible performances. Halloween at the Belly Up is already a tradition, and pairing it with Dead Man's Party makes October 31st, 2026 a must-mark-your-calendar event. Whether you come in costume or just come ready to dance, this is the Halloween show that will have you talking until next year.
