Part concert. Part dark burlesque. All rebellion 🖤🕸️

After selling out stages around the world, USA’s Little Miss Nasty bring their signature chaos back to the UK! High-energy, boundary-pushing performances, heavy music, seductive choreography, aerial acts, and provocative visuals collide in a stunning spectacle of power, sensuality and punk rock attitude.

Expect fierce dancers, commanding vocals, fetish-forward fashion, and massive sound in a room charged with adrenaline. This is a show for adults who want something darker, louder, and sexier than the usual night out, where the energy is contagious and nothing feels contained.

This is the show they warned you about! 🤘
