Hot Mess
From $15Expect to hear
The party
TONIGHT! Dance pop. Wear glitter. Get sweaty. Sing along. Feel better.
Kimber will be playing this week’s best new dance pop releases, the on-repeat stuff your algorithm keeps feeding you, plus the classic dance-pop bangers you still scream-sing in the shower.
Got a request? Come say hi.
Be Prepared:
- Wear glitter. If you don’t have any, we’ve got you covered. As covered as you want to be.
- Get sweaty. Dance until you glisten.
- Sing along. You know that energy is good for you.
- Feel better. Leave feeling better than when you arrived.
Where?
Hot Mess is at its new home, 404.exe, in the old MJQ space behind the Ponce Chipotle. It's an iconic Atlanta nightlife space.
What is dance pop?
Your favorite pop music that you can dance to in a club. The kind of songs (and remixes) that you can move to and still scream-sing every word. No chaotic remixes that turn it into a different song. No slow songs. Those are for Sunday morning.
Expect it to sound like:
Addison Rae * Olivia Dean * RAYE * Tate McRae * Sabrina Carpenter * Demi Lovato * Robyn * Charli xcx * JADE * Bad Bunny * Kesha * KATSEYE * Lady Gaga * Taylor Swift * PinkPantheress * Chappell Roan * Tinashe * Slayyter * Madison Beer * Doja Cat * ILLIT * Chrystal * Lots More
Going out should not be a luxury
We have negotiated with Eventbrite to cut ticket fees on all tickets by about a third, because we’re trying to keep going out as affordable as possible for you. And 404.exe helps, too. Drinks are refreshingly affordable, so you can have a night out (and a few drinks) without having to choose between fun and bills.
Coming with friends or rolling deep for a birthday? Group discounts are available, so you can bring the crew and save even more.
A little history
Hot Mess started at The Basement (R.I.P.), then lived at Lore for a while.
Now it’s at 404.EXE, and it still hits the same. Hot Mess is dance pop.
No matter what your age (21+), race, sexual orientation, gender identity, or level of dance skill, we hope you'll come sing along, make some new friends, and dance your cares away with us. Dress up or come as you are, just be ready to dance.
GROUP TICKET DISCOUNTS AVAILABLE! SAVE REAL MONEY WHEN YOU BUY FOR 5 OR MORE OF YOUR FRIENDS!
