🎉 NYE: Recession Pop Dance Party 💸✨

- Dec 31, 2025
- 9:00 pm
Why start 2026 pretending we have it all together?
This New Year’s Eve, we’re going full sparkle on a budget, a night of dancing, nostalgia, and absolute economic denial. Think late 2000s to early 2010s: Britney, Gaga, Kesha, Rihanna, Black Eyed Peas, LMFAO, and all the broke but fabulous bangers that made us dance through the downturns.
 No bottle service. No pretense. Just vibes.

 Dress code: Whatever the eff you want!
 Themed drink specials and visuals!

 Midnight countdown!


 Advanced tickets just $20 in advance (all-in)!
What is Recession Pop? It’s that glorious era of 2008–2013 when the economy was tanking but the music said, “don’t look at your bank account, look at this strobe light.”
It’s the soundtrack of:
“We’re broke.”
“Rent is due.”
“Unemployment is 10%.”
“BUT TONIGHT WE RAGE.”
Every song was basically: “Let’s drink, dance, black out, and deal with our problems never.”
Ke$ha was brushing her teeth with Jack. LMFAO was shuffling like their life depended on it. Pitbull was yelling his name for no reason. David Guetta was doing cardio on the synths.
It was sparkly, sweaty, chaotic, and specifically engineered to help you forget that the global economy was on fire.
