Inaugural RLC DAY: Bands! Burlesque! Cabaret! Comedy! MORE!


  • Red Light Cafe 553-1 Amsterdam Avenue Northeast Atlanta, GA, 30306 United States (map)

THE NEWS IS OUT: We're moving to Little Five Point in January! To celebrate our current location - along with the communities and performers and patrons that make RLC possible - we're kicking off an Inaugural Red Light Cafe Day featuring Bands, Burlesque, Cabaret, Comedy, Drag, Nerdlesque and much more!

We want EVERYONE who wants to attend to be able to attend, so, ADMISSION IS DONATION-BASED. You can even get in for free if you can't afford to pay.

That, and, ALL ADMISSIONS & TIPS GO TO PERFORMERS and cast and crew. None of this goes to the venue - we want to support those that support us and make a day like this possible! To that end, we are also throwing in some bonus goods (while supplies last - seriously): $20 gets you a neat-o RLC / SB POKER CHIP collectible || $40 gets you a chip and an OG RLC T-SHIRT || $60 gets you a chip, a t-shirt, and a JOHN HOT DOG POSTER!

We're still finalizing all of the performers for the day (so many of you offered!), but, right now we have:

Absynthe Makes the Art Garfunkel • Alchemical String Theory • Atticus Roness • Black Sheep Ensemble • Electro Lounge (Ivana Coquetu + more TBA) • Hannah Smith • Jeff Evans Porkestra • Jimmy John Misty • Mad Desire • Marco Sway • The Tipsy Zone • Vinnie D'Agostino & Co. (Jazz Funk) • Waldemar Alejandro • MANY Burlesque / Drag / Nerdlesque Performers (TBA) • AND MORE!

Several vendors will be available all day, including Genesis Studios, Oni's Second Skin and more! And, RLC itself will be having a "yard sale" to make it easier for us to move in January, so look out for some GREAT deals there. 👀

Maybe we'll also have food trucks? Maybe we won't? IDK...
