This year's show is set to start at 6:00 PM and end around 12:00 AM. That seems like a long concert, but it will go fast trust me. Sure, there are 11 bands playing this year (yep, 11) but each band represents a diverse genre and the set lengths are short enough to keep the fun, excitement and energy flowing steadily.

This year's acts include: Childproof, Cold Light of Day, Dum(b), Headcase, Hork, Lester, Somna M. Bulist, Sunday Morning, Tears Then Jaded, and the show sponsors: The Student Painters... with their co-conspirators The Mad Cows. Despite the flyers, Gloom Star will not be performing due to scheduling difficulties. We're sorry they couldn't participate, but we understand.

The playing order of the performers has not yet been decided officially. The order will only be decided on the day of the show, so please ignore any rumors you might hear concerning this issue before this time. Such information is not factual or reliable.

This year's admission is $5.00. (that's over 2 bands per buck!)

Keeping the tradition alive, we will be giving out a ton of free complimentary candy and once again staging door prize raffles.

Also returning in 2001 is the Artist Marketplace. This will be a section of the venue that will be used by the performers to sell, trade, and give away their band's merchandise or express their opinions on certain issues they hold in regard. Almost all of the performers in this year's event have their own albums and many have stickers, patches, and t-shirts that will be available.

Costumes are once again encouraged. Not required...yet, but please wear a costume and help us to celebrate in full Halloween style (even lame costumes are welcomed). Don't worry: the bands are once again going in costume this year, too!

Also, pizza and drinks will be available throughout the day's events, so don't worry about missing dinner by going to the show early. Now you can have your dinner at the show!

Drinks, however, does not mean alcohol. This is an All-Ages event and that means alcohol will NOT be served or ALLOWED on the premises. Any caught in possession of alcohol will have to deal with the authorities. Harsh? Perhaps, but Hallowpalooza must continue and that means no problems form Johnny Law. Drink in your basement, drink in your living room, but don't drink at Hallowpalooza.
