PITTSFIELD, Mass — The Vagabond Ball rolls into The Colonial Theatre on Friday, Oct. 17, 2025.

This evening brings together a lineup of genre-bending performers, headlined by Bella's Bartok, alongside The Slambovian Circus of Dreams and The Picky Bastards.

Inspired by vaudeville, cabaret, and the carnival spirit of the underground, The Vagabond Ball promises an immersive experience where costumes meet chaos, and every moment feels like a celebration of life's beautiful absurdities, stated a press release. Fans can expect a night of high-energy performances, danceable anthems, and unforgettable visuals set within the ornate walls of one of Berkshire County's most iconic venues.

Bella's Bartok, often described as "circus glam rock," has earned a cult following for their high-octane shows that fuse Eastern European folk with rock theatrics.

Sharing the bill, The Slambovian Circus of Dreams brings a "uniquely whimsical Americana sound, blending folk, psychedelic rock, and storytelling mystique."

At the same time, The Picky Bastards infuse raw roots-rock energy to complete the night's carnival of sound.
