Anomaly House is proud to present GHOSTOPIA: An Alternative Art and Music Festival for All Souls. Join us for an all-day event featuring live music, DJs, artists, vendors, food, drinks, and more! The event is broken up into two sections. The day portion begins at 1:00PM, featuring indy and alternative rock bands, DJs, and an art and vendor fair. The venue will close from 6:00PM to 7:00PM to transition from the day portion to the night portion. The evening portion begins at 7:00PM, featuring metal and punk bands playing in one section of the venue, and an EDM party in the other section.
Food and drinks will be available for purchase throughout the event, and all bar proceeds benefit the Gala Pride and Diversity Center.
This is an indoor, two-room festival. It will go on rain or shine, in a clean, comfortable, temperature-controlled environment.
Daytime Bands: Silvatici (Post-Punk from San Luis Obispo, CA), Four Day Beard (Alternative Rock from San Luis Obispo, CA), Mechanical Ghost (Electro-Industrial / Powernoise from Arroyo Grande, CA), Zampkamp (Alt-Rock / "Pretty Boy" Industrial from Santa Barbara, CA), and The Only Ocean (Indy Rock / Post-Punk from Los Angeles, CA). Plus DJ Shay and DJ Splenda spinning at the vendor fair.
Nighttime Bands: Sutratma (Funeral Doom from Santa Barbara, CA), Pentacaustic (Blackened Death Metal from Santa Maria, CA), Hostile Takedown (Hardcore Punk from Orcutt, CA), Hexenghul (Gothic Doom / Sludge / Stoner Metal from Atascadero, CA), and Suppressed Intentions (Thrash / Metalcore from San Luis Obispo, CA). Plus an EDM party featuring DJs Frank the Tank and Jahselektah.

The event is inspired by, and is a belated celebration of, Dia De Los Muertos and All-Souls Day. Feel free to come dressed to match the theme! We will have an ofrendas area set up as part of the immersive art experience. Guests are encouraged to bring pictures of and offerings to the dearly departed. (Please do not bring anything that has an open flame.)
There are three tiers of tickets for this show: Daytime Passes, which grant access to the event from 1:00PM to 6:00PM; Nighttime Passes, which grant access to the event from 7:00PM to 12:00AM; and All-Day Passes, which grant access to the event from 1:00PM to 12:00AM. Individual Daytime and/or Nighttime Passes are $20 each. All-Day Passes are $35. ALL-DAY PASSES ARE ONLY AVAILABLE ONLINE IN ADVANCE OF THE SHOW AND WILL NOT BE SOLD AT THE DOOR. If you want to attend the event all day at a discounted rate, you must buy the tickets in advance. On show day, you will have to buy tickets for each individual half of the show, at full price. This is to ensure that we do not go over capacity at the venue. Online advance ticket sales will end at 11:59PM on November 15, 2024. After that, all remaining tickets will be sold at the door.
All ages are welcome. Attendees under age 13 must be accompanied by a responsible adult.
This event is sponsored by The Gala Pride and Diversity Center, Phantom Stranger Records / A Pirate's Life Art Collective, Central Coast Music Productions, Brandilyn Intuitive Healing, and Santa Maria Tri-Tip Company. (More sponsors TBA.)
