Terminal V, Scotland's largest Halloween event, is set to make a comeback this November 1 with a one-day, single-arena, indoor extravaganza at Edinburgh's Royal Highland Centre.


For the first time ever, filming and photography will be banned. It comes following a milestone year for the Terminal V team, who recently delivered a highly successful debut edition in Croatia, announced their London debut at the renowned Drumsheds on November 14, and through their events company EE Live, produced the sold-out Doof In The Park with Hannah Laing, a 15,000-capacity open-air festival that sold out in record time.


While mobile phones will still be allowed for staying in touch with pals, upon arrival stickers will be placed over each camera lens to ensure the focus remains firmly on the experience.


This move aims to allow revellers to fully immerse themselves in the music, the atmosphere, and the epic production, without any distractions.

The outcome is a collective, high-energy celebration where the crowd and the music take centre stage, set against Terminal V's signature stage design, cutting-edge lighting and immersive visual production.

Joining the roster is a carefully curated selection of top-tier artists, each contributing their unique sound to the stage. One of the most sought-after acts in today's electronic music scene, I Hate Models will serve up his signature mix of emotion-drenched melodies and techno power.

VTSS, renowned for her intense and boundary-pushing sets, will fuse raw techno energy with rave and bass influences. Up-and-coming talent Cloudy brings a relentless, high-energy approach to the decks, while Onlynumbers represents the harder, underground side of the spectrum.

CLTX (A/V Show) will showcase a state-of-the-art audiovisual performance that melds intense industrial techno with striking, synchronised visuals.


In a special joint set, Franck x AFEM SYKO will blend innovative sound design with hard-hitting, industrial textures. Holy Priest will add a dark, atmospheric touch to the evening, while Kuko x Vendex are poised to deliver a theatrical, high-impact techno performance that's as visually captivating as it is sonically powerful.

More acts are yet to be announced in the forthcoming months. In addition to the music, Terminal V's Halloween celebration will feature a food and drink village, a full-scale funfair, and an electrifying atmosphere unlike any other Halloween party in the country.

Music

Tickets can be bought by clicking here. Derek Martin, Co-Director of Terminal V, remarked: "Terminal V has always been about people losing themselves in the music and the atmosphere. Too often you see phones in the air instead of people really being present, so this year we're asking everyone to put them away on the dance floor and enjoy it in real time. The energy feels completely different when people are focused on the experience rather than filming it and that's what makes nights like this unforgettable."
