Get Tipsy through a Costumed Bar Crawl

A Tipsy Tour is the best way to experience Rome’s nightlife before heading to the big Halloween parties. Whether you’re travelling with friends or solo, our bar crawl is a great way to meet new people, enjoy drinks, and get the party started!
Attend a Spooky Screening at Largo Venue
📍 Via Biordo Michelotti, 2, 00176
This year, Largo Venue celebrates 50 years of The Rocky Horror Picture Show — the cult classic that turned glamour, madness, and freedom into an art form. So don your best Halloween costume, hop in an uber, and join Rome’s young and ghoulish in the trendy neighbourhood of Pigneto.
Their awkwardly-translated event — 💋 Let’s do the Halloween again! — starts from 10 pm and spans three rooms of Rocky Horror chaos:
- Main Hall – The Ballroom of Transylvania: Pop, dance, and explosive hits with DJs Claudia Tucci and Michela Mattia. Expect drag icons and “creatures of the night” shaking up the floor till dawn.
- Rumah Room – The Lab of Sound Creation: Techno and electronic experiments worthy of Frank-N-Furter’s lab, with Tompi and Phonola at the decks.
- Acquario Room – The Rebel Rock Room: Distorted guitars, indie and punk energy for rock lovers who want their Halloween loud.
Tickets cost €20.70 and can be purchased here through the DICE app.

Headlining tonight is Clap! Clap!, bringing his signature global dance beats, joined by MC Yallah, the Kenyan-Ugandan rapper who blends multilingual flow, experimental electronics, and futuristic rhythms.

The party continues with Chancha Via Circuito — the Argentine master of folk, electronica, and cumbia — bringing tropical warmth and hypnotic grooves straight from South America.
