Drac­u­la’s Ball is in our biggest space yet for our spe­cial 75th event! We’re pleased to wel­come back two of our most pop­u­lar acts, The Birth­day Mas­sacre and Stab­bing Westward.

The Birth­day Mas­sacre are on tour to sup­port their forth­com­ing album, “Dia­monds.” As amaz­ing as their albums are, their live shows are even bet­ter. They always rock the Ball, so don’t miss this chance to see them on a big stage!

What can we say about Stab­bing West­ward? They’ve sold mil­lions of records, were all over the radio, and helped pio­neer a blend of indus­tri­al and rock music that inspired and influ­enced numer­ous oth­er acts. They just released a brand new EP and this show will serve as the release par­ty for their 2nd EP, due in April, so you’ll be the first to see some of those tracks per­formed live.

Both bands are offer­ing VIP pack­ages that include a pre-show meet and greet and cool swag. Stab­bing West­ward’s pack­age also includes a 3‑song acoustic per­for­mance that fans must not miss. The Birth­day Mas­sacre VIP pack­age is avail­able through Tick­et­mas­ter: www.ticketmaster.com/event/02005829D3D1AF5D The Stab­bing West­ward pack­age is avail­able direct­ly from us: www.draculasball.com/swvip2020.html

DJs Ian Ford and Mike Saga will be spin­ning. We have a sec­ond room open (you did­n’t know they had a sec­ond room, did you?) so there will always be two spaces to par­ty in. 

This event also serves as the offi­cial release par­ty for “Even Gob­lins Get The Blues,” an excit­ing new fan­ta­sy book by Drac­u­la’s Ball host Patrick Rodgers. Read a 3‑chapter sam­ple at www.dancingferretpress.com and pre-order the book or buy one at the event.

Our venue for this event is Franklin Music Hall, for­mer­ly known as The Elec­tric Fac­to­ry. This event is all ages; those wish­ing to drink must be 21+ with prop­er pho­to ID.

Please note that doors open an hour ear­li­er than usu­al for this event: the par­ty starts at 8pm! Band sched­ules will be post­ed here clos­er to the show date.

Due to the increas­ing pres­ence of pri­mar­i­ly Nige­ria-based tick­et scam­mers on Face­book event pages, we no longer allow posts offer­ing to re-sell tick­ets with­out first get­ting approval from the Drac­u­la’s Ball page admin­is­tra­tor. Posts offer­ing to re-sell tick­ets will be delet­ed with­out notice. Mes­sage Drac­u­la’s Ball first before post­ing. The pres­ence of a tick­et re-sale post does not imply approval or endorse­ment of that post; as always, buy­er beware. We rec­om­mend only buy­ing via the autho­rized out­lets list­ed above. 

Bring your per­son­al pho­to cam­era if you wish (no video cam­eras allowed, and no huge pro cam­eras allowed with­out advance permission.) 

Wear what­ev­er you like — cos­tumes are wel­come, club clothes are fine, for­mal attire is love­ly, a Tshirt and jeans are okay. Vis­it the Drac­u­la’s Ball FB page for pho­tos of pre­vi­ous events.

Drac­u­la’s Ball is a Danc­ing Fer­ret Con­certs event.

We look for­ward to see­ing you all on May 1st!
