Dates: October 27 from 2 p.m. to 12 a.m.

Back In Black has returned for a third consecutive year. That's right, it's time to break out those sexy costumes for another year of dancing, fun and great music all under one huge tent. Even though it starts during the day time, don't be mislead. Back In Black is not for the faint of heart. Whips, chains, lasers lights and scantily-clad women dancing in cages is just a little of what this party has in store for its attendees. Over the past two years, Go Big Productions has been known to have top-notch artists and DJs at its Halloween parties and this year is no different. Dirty South, Funk Agenda, The Crystal Method, LA Riots, Paul Van Duk and Electrik Dread are some of the artists performing at this year's bash. It's pretty much an all-day event so make sure your costume is comfortable. The location hasn't been announced yet, but be sure to follow @alwaysgobig for all the latest updates.
