Janelle Monáe and The Wondaland Arts Society are transforming Los Angeles into a spooky Halloween destination.
Monáe unveiled the full lineup for Wondaween 2025 on Wednesday (Oct. 15), which blends together fashion, music, art and film events across Los Angeles for the next month. While highlights of the festival include a Wondaween Game Night and intimate discussions about horror, sound and costume design with Danny Elfman, Akela Cooper and more, the biggest draw is undeniably the inaugural Vampire Beach music festival. The festival will host a mere 1,000 “Wondaweenies” for a fun, costumed celebration of music, food and other surprises. The fest will take place on Oct. 30 at a secret location.

The jam-packed festival should come as no surprise, considering how much of a passionate Halloween lover Monáe has always been. Every year, her Halloween costume becomes the talk of the internet. Last year, she shocked the world when she dressed up as E.T., doing so with some unbelievable prosthetics and makeup.
“E.T. has lurked in my mind since I was a baby,” Monáe told Vogue last year. “From Spielberg’s writing to the cinematography, the story of E.T. and Elliot has touched my heart deeply. This movie always leaves me in tears. The bond Elliot and E.T. had was a display of the best parts of us: pure love and allyship. We need more of that. I’m always praying we can all impact each other’s lives like they did each other’s.”
