Early Life & Family

Rise to Fame

Freaky Deaky was originally founded by React Presents in Chicago in 2009, building a following as a Halloween-themed EDM event. In 2018, promoter Disco Presents (then known as Disco Donnie Presents) acquired the brand, initially relocating it to Houston.

Career History

Since 2023, Freaky Deaky has been held in Austin, Texas, at the Travis County Exposition Center each Halloween weekend. The festival has continued to book major bass and house music acts across multiple stages, including artists such as ILLENIUM, SLANDER, Crankdat, and Liquid Stranger, and remains an active annual event, with its most recent editions built around evolving Halloween-horror themes.

How They Built Their Wealth

As a touring festival brand now under Disco Presents, Freaky Deaky generates revenue through ticket sales, sponsorships, and vendor and merchandise sales at its Austin event. Specific financial figures for the festival or its parent promotion company are not publicly disclosed.

Now in its second era under Disco Presents and based in Austin, Freaky Deaky remains one of the more established Halloween-weekend fixtures on the U.S. EDM festival calendar.
