WOMB HALLOWEEN PRESENTS COLLISIONS turns Shibuya's WOMB into a genuine international techno/house showcase this Halloween, running overnight from October 31 into November 1, 2026, with UK and French headliners across three floors.

Three Floors, International Headliners

The event runs 23:00 on October 31 through 04:30 on November 1 at WOMB (2-16 Maruyama-cho, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo). The 2F lineup features Craig Richards and Ivan Smagghe; 4F features Satoshi Otsuki, Gabriel Rai, and Celter; 1F features Kotsu, Himawari, and kengotaki.

Craig Richards is a founder/organizer associated with the UK's Houghton Festival; Ivan Smagghe is a veteran French artist also known for the Dresden project with Manfredas — both genre-defining figures in techno and house, not generic festival headliners.

Tickets and Costume Discounts

Advance tickets are ¥3,500 (plus handling where applicable), with door tickets at ¥4,000. Costume discounts apply at the door: a 70%+ full-body costume earns ¥1,000 off, and a one-point costume earns ¥500 off — costume eligibility is determined by entrance staff.

This is a club/underground electronic music event, not a generic Shibuya street Halloween gathering — the genre focus (techno/house) and the caliber of the international lineup are central to how this event should be understood.

What To Know

This is real Tokyo underground nightlife, not a generic Shibuya street-Halloween event — Craig Richards (founder/organizer associated with the UK's Houghton Festival) and Ivan Smagghe (also known for the Dresden project with Manfredas) are genuine international techno/house figures, giving this Halloween edition real genre credibility.

WOMB has long been one of Shibuya's defining techno/house clubs, and bringing in internationally recognized DJs like Craig Richards and Ivan Smagghe for a Halloween edition reflects how Tokyo's underground club scene treats Halloween as a genuine programming occasion — distinct from the much more visible but music-light street-costume gatherings elsewhere in Shibuya on the same night.
