Bad Behavior: Rock 'n' Roll

Lock the doors and pour it neat—Bad Behavior is back, and this month, we’re burning the house down with a tribute to the icons of excess. From the hotel-room-trashing chaos of the 70s to the gritty underground of the 90s, we are celebrating the legends who lived fast and played loud.

Step into the shadows of the Side Bar for an immersive pole cabaret experience that explores the vices and victories of music history. Whether it’s the white-knuckle rush of Eric Clapton’s “Cocaine,” the leather-clad rebellion of Joan Jett, or the dark allure of The Rolling Stones, our performers are bringing the lyrics to life through gravity-defying strength and unapologetic heat.

THE LINEUP

6 Explosive Acts: Featuring a high-energy group opening, four visceral solo performances, and a powerhouse duo.

DJ and MC Christopher Blackstar steers the ship, spinning a heavy-hitting soundtrack of rock anthems, grunge classics, and metal ballads.

The Atmosphere: A hidden speakeasy, a pole, and a room full of people ready to behave badly.

In the world of Rock n’ Roll, there are no rules—only the beat. Are you ready to witness the fallout?
