Bryce Alakai brings his Love Island afterglow to a Halloween block party on the Strip tonight

The Season 8 Love Island USA winner plays an outdoor 7-to-11 set on the Tally Strip Thursday, Oct 29. It's 18+ to get in, and the ticket tiers are limited.

Tennessee Street will have its costumes on early this year. Tonight, Thursday, Oct 29, the Strip outside Tenn Nightclub closes off for an outdoor Halloween block party, and the DJ is Bryce Alakai. This summer most of the country knew him as the guy who won *Love Island USA*.

The essentials: the party runs 9pm to 2am outdoors on the Tally Strip, presented by B2B US, with Alakai's set listed for 10:30pm to midnight. Anyone 18 and up gets in, you need to be 21 to drink, and you'll need a valid ID at the door. Tickets come in tiers: an early-bird price, a Tier 1 price, and a "Blast Pass" that adds premium bar fast lanes. The organizer says the run is limited. The listing ties the night to Halloween weekend and Clemson weekend, so expect the street to be full well before the music starts. Tickets and tiers are on the B2B US page.

If you missed the show this summer, here's the short version. Alakai was in the original cast of *Love Island USA* Season 8 and left the villa as a winner. In July, TMZ caught him celebrating and taking over a DJ booth. The booth wasn't a reality-TV detour. He's a Los Angeles DJ who spent years playing rooms across Southern California before television found him. After the show he signed with United Talent Agency, and Peacock's own coverage followed his move from the villa to the decks.

That move happened fast. He announced a debut North American headlining tour of club-sized rooms: Webster Hall in New York, The Grand in Boston, History in Toronto and The Ritz Ybor in Tampa, with Seattle and Portland in December. Tallahassee isn't one of those headline stops. This is a one-off street party worked into the run, and it costs you a walk down Tennessee instead of a drive to Ybor City on Nov 14.

Set your expectations accordingly. Tonight isn't a deep-cut house set in a dark room. It's an open-air EDM party built for a crowd that already knows his face, so the energy will come from the street as much as the stage. In our records he has never played Tallahassee, which means a lot of people will be seeing him for the first time. Many of them watched him all summer on their phones.

Some practical notes. Alakai is listed to play 10:30pm to midnight, so that's when to be near the front. Plan your ride home for the 2am finish, when everyone on the Strip will be leaving at once. If you're under 21, you're welcome; you just won't be at the bar. And with tiered pricing, waiting usually costs you more, so if you're on the fence, the early tiers won't last.

This summer the whole country watched him on their phones. Tonight he's on Tennessee Street.

Halloween in a college town always arrives a few days early. This year it arrives with a DJ booth in the middle of the street.
