The Drop: 10 EDM Shows for the Weekend (Oct 30 to Nov 1)

Deadmau5 has Red Rocks on both Friday and Saturday night, which is a pretty good way to spend Halloween weekend. Below that, there are free RSVP parties, a stacked dubstep bill at the Bluebird and two after-hours spots that only ticket holders will find.

Pick of the Weekend

Deadmau5: Fri Oct 30 and Sat Oct 31, 7:30pm, Red Rocks Amphitheatre. Progressive house, electro house, tech house.

It's Deadmau5 at Red Rocks, playing progressive house, electro house and tech house in an outdoor amphitheater. He's on Friday and Saturday, so you can take Halloween night or skip it and go Friday. The price isn't listed, so check before you commit.
