Dance of the Dead

Dance of the Dead is an annual Halloween-adjacent tradition, typically featuring a blend of local and regional acts performing covers or original music in a spooky, dance-oriented style. This event often leans into indie rock, electronic, or experimental sounds, creating a distinct atmosphere for the night. It's a chance to see artists embrace a different side of their performance for the holiday. This year's edition happens on Friday, October 30, 2026, at Rose Music Hall in Columbia, MO. The venue is known for its intimate general admission room, which is well-suited for a high-energy, standing-room-only concert experience. It's usually a good fit for anyone looking for a lively night out with a costume-friendly vibe.
