The party
TONIGHT, ATLANTA.
Group discounts available. No added fees or taxes on any tickets. Pay what it says.
Tonight's Fresh Dance Pop: New Madonna x Sabrina. New Olivia Rodrigo. Florence + the Machine and a little Disclosure (who just played in town last night, so yes, them too). Kimber has been prepping this set all week (it's fire!), so if it's new this week or the last month, she's got it.
Plus a whole lot of Slayyyter, because it's SLAYYYTER SUMMER and we are celebrating, hard. Kimber will be DJing from the dance floor tonight. No stage. No DJ booth. On the floor with you.
Expect to hear: Madonna • Slayyyter • Charli XCX • Cobrah • Zara Larsson • Addison Rae • Olivia Dean • Tate McRae • Sabrina Carpenter • Demi Lovato • Robyn • JADE • Bad Bunny • Kesha • Lady Gaga • Taylor Swift • Florence & The Machine • PinkPantheress • Chappell Roan • Tinashe • Madison Beer • Doja Cat • Blackpink • Lots More
Atlanta's most inclusive dance party.
Hot Mess has always been an escape where everyone gets to be themselves, and the dance floor has always belonged to everyone. Gay, straight, trans, in-between, undecided, just here for the music, dressed up, dressed down: you're home. Zero tolerance for bigots or creeps.
If it's been a minute since you've been out, this is the night. We're back, and we're so glad you are too.
Hot Mess is Atlanta's dance pop dance party since 2020.
Kimber is the DJ and she understands the assignment. Expertly curated mix of the latest pop along with the classics you love, remixes that you can still sing along to, and that new song off TikTok you love, with some little surprises that will make you smile and dance all night.
Bring your friends. Discounts start when you buy 2 tickets, so bring a friend and save some cash. Bring your whole crew for bigger discounts when you buy 5 or more.
Get sweaty. Wear glitter. Bring friends. Make some IRL friends. Got a request? Come say hi.
Where?
Hot Mess is at its new home, 404.EXE, in the iconic former MJQ space across from the Clermon Hotel and under Friends on Ponce De Leon Ave, right off the Beltline.
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.
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. Hot Mess is fun.
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.

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