The party

We are all hot messes and we love pop. This is our party.
Hot Mess is the only night out in Atlanta where you'll hear that week's new drops and the hits and classics that your algorithm knows you love... expertly curated and mixed in a club. It's dance pop, loud, glittery, and fun, with no bro energy or…
The bigger the crew,
the less you pay

Grab 5+ together and everyone gets the best price. Drop it in the group chat and roll in deep.

The DJ

Kimber
Resident DJ

Thanks to her knack for reading a room and her wide-ranging musical knowledge, Kimber has become a fixture in Atlanta's nightlife scene. Since 2008, she's been throwing inclusive, diverse, unapologetically ridiculous dance parties that always put fun/joy above ego/vanity.

Everyone's welcome

Nonsense ATL events welcome every sexual orientation, race, gender role, nationality, age (21+), and level of dance skill.

Tell a friend and spread the love. Everyone is welcome. Zero tolerance for creeps or bigots.

FAQ

What time should I actually show up?
Come early. Doors are at 11 and we go til 3, and the move is to roll in before midnight. You get the floor before it's packed, a quick bar instead of a wait, and you're there while the room's still warming up. Early you for the win. But really, if you want to roll in a little later, you do you.
How do I get there and where do I park?
We're at 736 Ponce De Leon Ave, the iconic old MJQ underground space on Ponce. There's a lot of parking around, but honestly, just take a rideshare if you're partying. Ponce gets busy and a Uber to the door beats circling for parking. Drop-off is easy.
Can I get walk-up tickets at the door?
Yep. There are always door tickets, card or cash, walk right up. You're never going to get shut out at Hot Mess. So if you didn't grab presale, no stress, come anyway.
Why should I buy early then?
Because you pay $15 vs $20 and you walk in while the walk-up line waits. The door tix are there if you need them, but if you're planning to come, sort it early and breeze in. Sign up for The List to get notifications when early-bird tickets go on sale so you can snag the cheapest tickets for every event.
Can I get a refund?
Refunds are open until 48 hours before the event. Life happens, no drama. Just sort it out on eventbrite.com before the cutoff and you're fine. If you miss the cutoff, do not contact us to request a refund. We can't help at that point.
Is it 21+? What do I bring?
21 and up, so bring a real ID. That's the one non-negotiable. No ID means no entry and we hate seeing the venue turn people away. We'd love to party with our 18+ crowed again like we did at Ammazza, but right now, we don't have a venue where we can do that for Hot Mess.
What's the music?
Pop, dance, and dance pop. All night. This includes electropop, hyperpop, pop classics, poppy dance songs, you get it. If you love to dance and love pop, this is your party.
Can I bring a group? Is there a deal?
Yeah, please do. Five or more tickets drops the price to $11 each. Text the group chat, split it, roll in together.
Is the venue accessible?
Yes. 404.exe is wheelchair accessible. If you've got specific needs or questions about getting in, message us and we'll make sure you're sorted before you come.
What's the coat check, bar, ATM situation?
There's a full bar inside with very good prices, card or cash. No coat check. There's an ATM, but have you ever used an ATM in a bar? Just bring cash ahead of time or use your card. There are ATMs not too far away if the one in the club isn't online.
