Tampa Armature Works wants you to rage the night away this weekend.

Party-starting celebrity DJ and Benihana heir Steve Aoki is among headliners for Pied Piper Productions’ weekend-long Halloween Haunted Carnival happening Oct. 27-30.

Pauly D, Blondish and Shaquille O’Nealโ€”aka Dieselโ€”are among the performers playing concerts in the big dirt lot-turned carnival grounds.

Tickets to Tampa Armature Works Halloween Haunted Carnival range from $5-$95.
 The full lineup is available below.

The 300,000 square foot event spaceโ€”located at 1910 N Ola Ave. in Tampa Heightsโ€”will feature live music, two ferris wheels, carnival rides and foods like funnel cake

There’s a costume contest with a chance to win $10,000 on Friday and Saturday from 4 p.m.-10 p.m. or Sunday from 4-8 p.m. A dog costume contest on Thursday at 4 p.m. includes a chance to win $500 in cash and prizes. Winners for both contests will be announced the following week on the Pied Piper Productions website.

Attendants 18 and older can buy VIP tickets to gain access to the Killer Beats Stage, for a view of the world renowned DJ performances including Gordo, Blondish, Morten, Pink Panda and more.

Pied Piper Productions has added an extra 100,000 square feet since last year’s event to allow for a Kid Zone, which is a less-frightening space including a Ferris wheel, games, face painting, and other kid-friendly activities.

Gates are at 4 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 28, then 11 a.m. daily, Saturday-Sunday Oct. 29-30.
