KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Partiers kicked off Halloween early with a costumed rave that packed a Kyiv concert hall with hundreds of revelers dressed as Pennywise, the Joker, Medusa and more. The daytime techno bash, complete with an on site tattoo parlor, art installations and bean bag lounges, started hours before sunset to beat the city’s midnight curfew. Organized by Laboratorium, the event is part of a recurring electronic music and art festival series that’s become a staple of Kyiv’s underground scene.
