Big Hot Mess
at Fruitmarket
Hot Mess is Scotland’s longest-running and, some would say, most beloved queer clubbing institution.
Eschewing big-name guest DJs and performance acts in favour of a back-to-basics approach, the party’s success derives from two simple factors: ecstatic, dramatic and arousing music, from tear-drenched orchestral disco to high-NRG alt-80s classics and bleepy psychedelic techno; and the devoted crowd of dancers who make the party a playful taps-aff delight month after month.
It started in 2010 and a few years later found its long-term Edinburgh home at Sneaky Pete’s, where it’s been a place of queer comfort and joy for people of all genders, sexualities, ethnicities and ages ever since.
Host DJ Simonotron is absolutely cock-a-hoop to be bringing BIG HOT MESS back to the Fruitmarket Gallery Warehouse. We promise to blow your mind while simultaneously giving you little forehead kisses and calling you a good boy. Wear whatever makes you feel HOT and get ready to dance your pants clean off.
This is an earlier-hours party! Doors open at 8pm and we finish at 12 midnight, like Cinderella at the rave.
