Night Of The Living Cover Bands - Night 1

🎃 Night of the Living Cover Bands - NIGHT 1 👻
Where: Launchpad, Albuquerque, NM
When: October 3, 2025
Doors: 5pm

Albuquerque’s most ghoulishly glorious music tradition rises from the grave once again! For eight nights this October, Night of the Living Cover Bands haunts Launchpad with over 100 local acts transforming into your favorite legendary bands. From creepy classics to monstrous modern hits, expect wicked costumes, terrifyingly good sets, and a frightfully fun atmosphere where no two nights are the same.

Each evening summons a different lineup of creatures from the local scene—dressed, possessed, and ready to resurrect iconic artists for one night only. Come in costume, scream along, and join the undead dance floor at Launchpad’s annual Halloween spectacular.
