I still remember the first time I logged into Grow a Garden during an admin abuse event. My hands were shaking as I watched Jandel unleash absolute chaos across the servers, restocking rare seeds and triggering weather effects I’d never seen before. That Travis Kelce event back in spring? Legendary. But now we’re getting something even more special – a full-blown musical collaboration with Glass Animals, and I’ve been counting down the days ever since the announcement dropped.
The Grow a Garden x Glass Animals event isn’t just another weekend update. This is a once-in-a-lifetime crossover that combines live music, exclusive gameplay mechanics, and Halloween spookiness into one unforgettable experience. After spending hours researching every detail and talking to community members who’ve attended past admin abuse sessions, I’m ready to share everything you need to know to make the most of this event.
For those who might be new to Grow a Garden, admin abuse events are special live sessions where the game’s developers (primarily Jandel, the creator) join servers with admin powers and create controlled chaos for players. These aren’t your typical maintenance updates – they’re interactive celebrations filled with exclusive rewards, rare mutations, and unpredictable moments that make the community go wild.
This particular event brings Glass Animals lead singer Dave Bayley into the Roblox universe for what’s being called a “Halloween Spook-tacular.” Glass Animals exploded onto the mainstream music scene with their viral hit “Heat Waves,” which dominated Spotify charts during the pandemic era. Their indie rock sound has earned them millions of devoted fans worldwide, and now they’re bringing that energy directly into one of Roblox’s hottest farming simulators.
The collaboration represents something bigger than just a celebrity cameo. It’s a genuine fusion of music and gaming culture, with Dave Bayley performing the band’s brand-new song “Vampire Bat” live within the game. From what I’ve gathered through community discussions and official announcements, this marks Grow a Garden’s very first in-game concert – a historic moment for longtime players like myself who’ve watched this game evolve from its humble beginnings.
What makes admin abuse events so special is their limited nature. Unlike permanent updates that stick around, these experiences happen once and never repeat. The exact combination of weather events, conversations between Jandel and Dave, and spontaneous moments will be unique to this specific Saturday. That’s what gets my adrenaline pumping – knowing that if I miss this, I miss it forever.
Timing is absolutely critical for this event, and I cannot stress this enough. Missing the start time means potentially losing out on exclusive mutations, limited pets, or special cosmetics that may never return to the game. Based on official announcements from the Grow a Garden development team, here’s when you need to be online:
Main Event Time:
Now, I know what you’re thinking – 45 minutes seems incredibly short for such a hyped event. But here’s the thing about admin abuse sessions: they pack more excitement into that time frame than most games deliver in hours of regular gameplay. Every second counts, and the compressed timeline creates an electric atmosphere where everyone in the server is fully engaged.
Here’s the complete breakdown for major time zones around the world:
| Time Zone | Start Time | End Time |
|---|---|---|
| PT (Pacific Time) | Saturday, Oct 25, 6:15 AM | Saturday, Oct 25, 7:00 AM |

| CT (Central Time) | Saturday, Oct 25, 8:15 AM | Saturday, Oct 25, 9:00 AM |
| GMT (Greenwich) | Saturday, Oct 25, 1:15 PM | Saturday, Oct 25, 2:00 PM |
| BST (British Summer) | Saturday, Oct 25, 2:15 PM | Saturday, Oct 25, 3:00 PM |

| AEST (Australian Eastern) | Sunday, Oct 26, 12:15 AM | Sunday, Oct 26, 1:00 AM |
Pro tip from my previous event experiences: Set multiple alarms for 30 minutes before, 15 minutes before, and right at start time. I also recommend joining the game at least 10-15 minutes early because servers can get absolutely slammed with players trying to get in. Nothing’s worse than watching the event start while you’re stuck in a queue or dealing with connection issues.
For my Australian and Asian friends who’ll be staying up late or waking up in the middle of the night – trust me, it’s worth disrupting your sleep schedule for this one. I pulled an all-nighter for the Travis Kelce event and don’t regret it for a second.
Let me get personal for a moment. I’ve been playing Grow a Garden since it was a relatively unknown farming sim with just a few thousand concurrent players. Watching Jandel and his team transform this game into a cultural phenomenon with over 22 million players has been incredible, but what keeps me coming back are these admin abuse events.
There’s something magical about the unpredictability. During regular gameplay, you know what to expect – plant seeds, wait for growth cycles, harvest, repeat. But during admin abuse? All rules get thrown out the window. I’ve seen Jandel spawn hundreds of rare seeds simultaneously, create weather patterns that shouldn’t exist, and give away pets worth thousands of Robux in trading value.
The community aspect amplifies everything. Seeing chat explode with reactions, watching players frantically try to grab spawned items, and sharing the experience with thousands of other players creates memories that stick with you. I still have screenshots from past events that I look back on fondly.
What really hooks me though is the developer interaction. Most games keep a professional distance between creators and players, but Jandel breaks that wall down completely during these sessions. Hearing him talk casually with celebrity guests, joke around, and genuinely seem to enjoy creating chaos for his community makes the game feel personal and connected.
This Glass Animals collaboration takes all those elements and adds live music performance into the mix. I’m genuinely curious how they’ll blend the concert aspect with traditional admin abuse mechanics. Will the music sync with weather effects? Will Dave Bayley participate in spawning items between songs? These unknowns make me even more excited.
Based on official announcements, community speculation, and patterns from previous celebrity admin abuse events, here’s everything confirmed or strongly expected for the Glass Animals collaboration:
The headline feature is Glass Animals performing their brand-new song “Vampire Bat” live within Grow a Garden. This isn’t just background music – we’re talking about an actual in-game concert experience where Dave Bayley’s avatar will be present on a virtual stage.
From what I understand about the song (based on the promotional material), “Vampire Bat” includes lyrics mentioning strawberries, kiwis, and limes, which thematically connects to Grow a Garden’s fruit-growing mechanics. The developers clearly chose this collaboration specifically because it aligns with the game’s identity.
I’m expecting visual spectacle during the performance. Previous major Roblox concerts have featured synchronized lighting effects, particle systems, and environmental changes timed to music beats. If Grow a Garden goes that route, we might see plants glowing, weather shifting dramatically, and maybe even special mutation triggers happening in rhythm with the song.
The performance is scheduled for the end of the event, which is strategic. It ensures players who join throughout the entire session get rewarded with the big finale, while also creating a climactic moment that everyone experiences together.
Before the musical performance, there will be a live conversation between Jandel and Dave. Based on the Travis Kelce event format, this will likely be casual and entertaining rather than overly scripted.
I’m predicting they’ll discuss topics like:
These conversations have been highlights of past celebrity events. When Travis Kelce participated, hearing him genuinely engage with the game and ask Jandel questions about development was surprisingly wholesome and entertaining. I expect similar energy with Dave, especially since both music and gaming involve creative expression.
Admin abuse events are famous for showcasing weather effects that don’t exist in regular gameplay. For this Halloween-themed event, official sources mention “spooky weather” that will transform the atmosphere.
Based on what we know about Grow a Garden’s weather system, I’m predicting we’ll see:
What makes these weather effects special is that they often interact with your crops. Certain weather patterns trigger rare mutations that normally have extremely low spawn rates. I always make sure to have valuable seeds planted before admin abuse events because there’s a chance they’ll mutate into something extraordinary during the chaos.
While not officially confirmed, every single admin abuse event in Grow a Garden’s history has featured exclusive rewards for attendees. Based on established patterns, here’s what I’m expecting:
Exclusive Event Badge: A special profile badge proving you attended the Glass Animals event. These badges become status symbols in the community.
Limited Pet Drop: Past celebrity events have included exclusive pets (like the Football pet from Travis Kelce event). I’m predicting something music-themed, possibly a “Bat” pet to tie into the Vampire Bat song, or potentially a mini Glass Animals mascot.
Rare Seed Giveaway: Jandel typically restocks the rarest seeds in shop during admin abuse, and sometimes spawns them directly on the map for players to collect. Having your plot ready to receive these is crucial.
Unique Mutations: Weather effects during the event will likely trigger mutations that are either extremely rare or completely exclusive to this session. I’ve learned to plant my most valuable seeds right before events for this exact reason.
Halloween Cosmetics: Since this is the final weekend of the Ghoul Garden Halloween event series, there might be last-chance items or special cosmetic gear that won’t return until next year.
Music-Themed Decorations: Wouldn’t be surprised to see stage equipment, speakers, or Glass Animals-branded decorations become available during or after the event.
The key strategy here is having inventory space cleared and being ready to claim whatever gets distributed. I’ve made the mistake before of having full inventory during giveaways and missing out on exclusive items – don’t let that happen to you.
The admin abuse event leads directly into the Ghoul Garden 3 update, which is the third and final installment of this year’s Halloween event series. Once the Glass Animals performance concludes, the new update will go live with additional content:
This creates a natural flow where the event serves as both entertainment and a launch celebration for new content. Smart players will transition immediately from the admin abuse into exploring the new update features while the excitement is still high.
Joining sounds simple, but proper preparation makes the difference between a smooth experience and a frustrating one. Here’s my battle-tested strategy for attending major Grow a Garden events:
1. Verify Your Account and Game Access Make sure your Roblox account is in good standing and you have Grow a Garden favorited for quick access. I’ve seen players discover account issues right when events start – don’t be that person.
2. Clear Your Garden Plot Remove unnecessary decorations or items that might cause visual clutter during the chaos. You want maximum visibility to spot rare spawns and mutations.
3. Plant Valuable Seeds If you have rare or legendary seeds, plant them 1-2 days before the event so they’re actively growing during the admin abuse. Special weather effects can trigger mutations on growing plants.
4. Optimize Game Settings Lower graphics settings if you’re on a lower-end device. Admin abuse events can be graphically intensive with all the players, effects, and spawns happening simultaneously.
5. Join the Official Discord and Social Media Last-minute announcements or changes get posted on Grow a Garden’s official channels. Being in the Discord also connects you with community members for tips and real-time updates.
10-15 Minutes Before Event:
At Event Start (6:15 AM PT):
During the Performance:
Immediately After Event:
From my years of attending these events, here are common problems and solutions:
Server Capacity Issues: If you can’t join a server due to capacity, keep refreshing. Players cycle out quickly during events. Alternatively, consider joining via VIP servers if you have access to one (though public servers often have better energy).
Performance Lag: Lower your graphics quality to Performance mode. Disable unnecessary visual effects in settings. Close browser tabs and other applications eating RAM.
Audio Problems: Make sure Roblox audio isn’t muted and system volume is up. The concert aspect relies heavily on audio, so having sound issues would ruin half the experience.
Connection Drops: Have stable internet during the event. If possible, use wired connection instead of WiFi. Close any downloads or streaming on other devices sharing your network.
Looking at this event from a broader perspective, the Glass Animals collaboration represents a significant milestone in Roblox’s evolution as a platform for legitimate cultural events. We’ve seen major artists like Lil Nas X and Twenty One Pilots hold Roblox concerts before, but those were in dedicated concert experiences.
Having Glass Animals perform within an existing game like Grow a Garden shows that Roblox games themselves are becoming viable venues for mainstream entertainment. This could open doors for more musical collaborations in farming sims, tower defense games, or any genre that previously seemed too niche for major artist involvement.
For Grow a Garden specifically, this event solidifies its position as one of Roblox’s premier experiences. The game has already broken multiple concurrent player records, but collaborations like this demonstrate that it’s not just a flash-in-the-pan viral success – it’s a sustainable platform with cultural relevance.
I’m also fascinated by how this might influence future updates. If the Glass Animals event is successful (and I have no doubt it will be), we could see more musical integrations in regular gameplay. Imagine seasonal concerts with different artists, or music-themed expansion areas where audio design plays a central role in mechanics.
The Travis Kelce event earlier this year set a high bar for celebrity collaborations in Grow a Garden. That event featured exclusive pets (the Football pet became highly sought after), special football-themed seeds (the Fruitball), and entertaining conversation between Kelce and Jandel about sports and gaming.
What made that event memorable was Kelce’s genuine enthusiasm. He wasn’t just fulfilling a promotional obligation – he actually engaged with the game mechanics and seemed to enjoy the chaos. Players responded to that authenticity, making the entire experience feel special rather than commercial.
Other notable admin abuse guests have included YouTuber Albert “Flamingo” and Spyder Sammy from Steal a Brainrot. Each brought different energy and exclusive content, establishing a pattern where these events become collection opportunities for rare items that never return.
The Glass Animals event follows this successful formula while adding the unique musical performance element. Instead of just conversation and gameplay chaos, we’re getting a full concert experience woven into the admin abuse structure. This evolution suggests future celebrity events might increasingly feature performance aspects beyond just appearance and conversation.
Based on community trading patterns, items from previous celebrity events maintain or increase in value over time. The Football pet from Travis Kelce event has become a prestigious trading asset. I expect whatever exclusive items drop during the Glass Animals event will follow a similar trajectory, making attendance valuable not just for experience but also for economic reasons within the game’s trading ecosystem.
After attending every major Grow a Garden event since early 2024, I’ve developed strategies that consistently help me get the most out of these limited-time experiences:
I always record the entire event using OBS or Medal. These moments are genuinely historic for the game and you’ll want to revisit them. Plus, if you capture something rare or funny, sharing clips on social media connects you with the broader community.
If possible, coordinate with friends to join the same server. Having people to share reactions with in real-time amplifies the excitement. Discord voice chat during events creates memories that stick with you way longer than solo play.
If you get duplicate exclusive items during the event, hold onto them for a few weeks. Values typically spike after events end when people who missed out start trying to obtain items through trading. This applies to pets, seeds, and cosmetics.
Take screenshots of your reward notifications, inventory before and after the event, and any interesting moments. This helps if technical issues occur and you need to contact support, plus it’s great for personal memories.
These events can be intense. Stay hydrated, have snacks ready if it’s early morning for you, and remember to stretch or move around afterward. Taking care of yourself ensures you stay engaged and don’t crash mid-event.
Let’s be real – life happens, and not everyone can make a specific 45-minute window on Saturday morning. If you absolutely cannot attend, here’s what you need to know:
Exclusive Event Items: Most event-specific rewards will likely not be obtainable after the session ends. However, trading is an option if you’re willing to part with valuable items from your collection.
Concert Performance: While you won’t experience it live, community members will definitely upload recordings to YouTube and social media. It’s not the same as being there, but at least you can watch “Vampire Bat” performances after the fact.
Ghoul Garden 3 Update: The good news is that the update content launching after the event will remain accessible. You won’t miss out on the actual Halloween content, just the celebratory admin abuse experience.
FOMO Management: I understand the fear of missing out is real with these events. But remember, Grow a Garden has regular updates and frequently adds new content. Missing one event doesn’t diminish your overall experience with the game.
Community Connection: Reading recaps and watching footage helps you stay connected to community conversations even if you weren’t physically present. Engage with other players’ experiences and you’ll still feel part of the moment.
The Glass Animals event happens within the broader context of Grow a Garden’s autumn content roadmap. Here’s where the game stands and what’s coming:
The Ghoul Garden Halloween event series has been running throughout October 2025, with multiple phases introducing new shops, seeds, pets, and spooky decorations. This third and final update on October 25th represents the culmination of that seasonal content.
Recent quality-of-life improvements have made managing large gardens significantly easier. The developers added quick-harvest options, better sorting tools for inventory management, and improvements to the trading interface based on community feedback.
Beyond this weekend, the game is trending toward more frequent collaborative events. The success of celebrity admin abuse sessions has clearly influenced the development roadmap, with hints that more partnerships are in the pipeline for late 2025 and early 2026.
One exciting confirmed feature for future updates is a trading system overhaul. Currently, trading in Grow a Garden relies on trust and manual exchanges, but improved mechanics will make the economy more robust and secure. This matters because exclusive event items will become even more valuable once secure trading launches.
The player base continues growing exponentially, with the game regularly maintaining hundreds of thousands of concurrent players. This massive community size means events like the Glass Animals collaboration have genuine cultural impact within the Roblox ecosystem.
For players interested in competitive aspects, mutation hunting and rare seed collection have become endgame activities that keep veteran players engaged long after completing basic progression. The admin abuse events feed into this by providing opportunities for mutations that normally have astronomically low spawn rates.
Here’s something I wish I’d understood earlier in my Grow a Garden journey: these events have significant economic implications for your account value and trading power.
Items distributed during celebrity collaborations typically fall into three value categories:
Tier 1 – Common Event Items: Things like badges or basic cosmetics that every attendee receives. These have sentimental value but minimal trading worth since supply matches demand.
Tier 2 – Uncommon Rewards: Pets or seeds with moderate distribution but not guaranteed for everyone. These become decent trading assets, especially 1-2 months after the event when new players who missed it want to complete collections.
Tier 3 – Rare Exclusives: Items with very limited distribution (like pets that require completing specific challenges during the event). These are where real value concentrates. The Football pet from Travis Kelce event falls here, and whatever similar item drops from Glass Animals event will too.
Smart players position themselves to maximize chances of obtaining Tier 3 items by:
The broader trading economy in Grow a Garden has matured significantly. Rare mutations, event exclusives, and legacy items from early game days form a complex market where informed players can build impressive collections through smart trades.
A: The event begins Saturday, October 25, 2025, at 6:15 AM Pacific Time (9:15 AM Eastern, 2:15 PM British Summer Time, 6:45 PM India Standard Time) and runs for 45 minutes, ending at 7:00 AM PT. Check the complete time zone table earlier in this article for your specific region.
A: No, the admin abuse event is completely free to attend. Just launch Grow a Garden during the scheduled time and join a server. Some exclusive pets or cosmetics might be sold separately for Robux, but attendance and base rewards are free.
A: While not officially confirmed, expect exclusive badges, limited pets, rare seeds, and unique cosmetics based on previous celebrity events. The exact rewards will be revealed live during the event to keep things exciting.
A: Most event items in Grow a Garden are tradeable, though special badges or achievements usually stay account-bound. Pets and seeds from events often gain collector value after the event ends.
A: Absolutely! All players, regardless of level or progress, can join the event. Just log in during the event window and participate—no special quests or unlocks required.
A: Server crowding is common during major events. Keep refreshing and rejoining, as players cycle in and out often. Joining 10–15 minutes early increases your chances of securing a spot.
A: According to official announcements, Dave Bayley will perform “Vampire Bat.” It’s unclear whether it’ll be the full version or a shortened cut, but promotional teasers strongly hint at a complete live performance.
A: These events are irregular but more frequent lately. The Travis Kelce event happened in spring 2025, and now Glass Animals in October—suggesting the devs are planning 3–4 celebrity collaborations per year.
A: Yes, the Ghoul Garden 3 update launching right after the event adds new Halloween quests. However, earlier event quests from Ghoul Garden 1 and 2 may end soon, so finish them before they expire.
A: Once Halloween ends, seasonal content rotates out. Halloween pets, decorations, and event items become unobtainable after early November, though anything you’ve earned stays in your inventory permanently.
I’m going to go out on a limb here and make some predictions based on my experience and pattern recognition from previous events:
Prediction 1: The Vampire Bat song will have synchronized weather effects, with lightning strikes and visual changes timed to music beats. I think we’ll see the entire map transform during the performance.
Prediction 2: There will be a special “Bat” pet available, possibly as a rare drop during the event or as a guaranteed reward for all attendees. It might have unique abilities related to night-time gameplay or Halloween themes.
Prediction 3: The conversation between Jandel and Dave will reveal hints about future collaborations or upcoming game features. Developers love sneaking announcements into these casual conversations.
Prediction 4: The event will break previous concurrent player records for Grow a Garden. The combination of celebrity appeal, Halloween timing, and weekend scheduling creates perfect conditions for massive turnout.
Prediction 5: Exclusive mutations triggered during the event will include music-themed variations – possibly crops that pulse with rhythm or have audio-related effects when harvested.
What really has me excited though isn’t just the predictions – it’s the unknown elements. The beauty of live events is that unscripted moments create the best memories. Maybe Dave will try playing the game himself and make hilarious mistakes. Maybe Jandel will spawn something completely unexpected. Those spontaneous moments are what make these events special beyond just the rewards.
I’ve cleared my entire Saturday morning schedule. My Discord group is planning a watch party where we’ll all join the same server if possible. I’ve got snacks ready, recording software configured, and genuine excitement that I haven’t felt for a game event in months.
This kind of crossover between indie rock music and Roblox farming simulation shouldn’t work on paper, but that’s exactly why it’s brilliant. When creative teams take risks and try unconventional collaborations, we get experiences that feel fresh and memorable.
The Glass Animals x Grow a Garden event represents what makes modern gaming special – the ability to create shared cultural moments that transcend traditional gameplay. Whether you’re there for the music, the exclusive items, the chaos of admin abuse, or just the community energy, there’s something for everyone in this event.
I hope this guide helps you prepare for what’s shaping up to be one of the most unique gaming events of 2025. Set those alarms, clear your schedule, and get ready for 45 minutes of pure entertainment. This is gaming history in the making, and I can’t wait to experience it alongside thousands of other players.
See you in the garden on Saturday morning. Don’t be late – this is one harvest you absolutely don’t want to miss.
