The Dirty Red Ball 2008

We are excited to announce that the 4th annual Dirty Red Ball will take place in London oin March 15th. Since 2005, this highly anticipated party has led the way in showcasing a wide range of outstanding female talent as well as attracting celebrity attendees including Alison Goldfrapp, The Pet Shop Boys and more. It is a celebration of self-expression and artistry, a one off party playground and a fantastic reason to dress up.

The climax of alternative London will be held at The Old Finsbury Town Hall, a unique Grade II listed building, completely new to the capital’s party scene, with 5 fabulous historic rooms filled with an intoxicating variety of music, theatre, DJs, dance and performing art.

The Great Hall

This stunning room is the centre point of our party, featuring deep soulful house from DJs Nicole Moudaber and Philly. It is also the place to catch The Midnight Show, currently including Boogaloo Stu who will be joined by dazzling dancers Sparklemotion, the gorgeous Paloma Faith and a sexy eye-catching fashion show from Ophelia Fancy. Introduced by our master of ceremonies Mel Graf.
