Foam’s annual Halloween party returns with a stacked lineup and a new twist—it’s free this year. This year’s theme is I Want My BTV, a nod to classic MTV. Costumes inspired by your favorite artists, bands, characters, hosts, and moments from the channel’s past are encouraged. As always, we’ll host a cash prize costume contest. Costumes aren’t mandatory, but if you’ve been to a Foam Halloween before, you know it’s an all-out affair.

Lineup

Magi Merlin (headliner)
Magi Merlin [Mahd-j-eye] grew up in Saint-Lazare, a suburb of Montreal, and coined her own genre: Broken RnB. Her audacious 2022 EP Gone Girl earned praise from outlets like Bandcamp Daily, FADER, The Line of Best Fit, and Nylon, leading to tours with Noga Erez and Omar Apollo. She’s since played major Canadian festivals and recently supported Nubya Garcia on tour, continuing to push boundaries with each release.

Eustis
A Eustis live show is a dynamic and surprising experience. The band reinvents itself every time, shifting genres and reworking songs in unexpected ways. The result is a night of music that’s fresh, unpredictable, and unforgettable.

Burial Woods
Burial Woods is a queer, non-binary musician from Burlington who creates industrial-tinged darkwave and synth pop. Drawing on the sounds and vibes of the ’80s and ’90s goth and industrial scenes, their music fuses melancholic atmosphere with sharp pop sensibilities.

DJ Crystal Jonez
DJ Crystal Jonez has been shaping dance floors in Vermont since 2015. Her sets are a journey through global club sounds, built on a foundation of shared musical memory and an unshakable sense of fun. Expect big energy and big tunes from one of Burlington’s most magnetic selectors.
