TORTURE GARDEN WINDS UP 2024 WITH SIX FESTIVE EVENTS IN THE UK

Following four Halloween parties which the club has described as “two exceptional weekends” that “felt like TG at its best”, Torture Garden has confirmed details of its remaining UK dates between November 15 and the end of 2024.

It’s a schedule that starts with a two-nighter in Edinburgh, followed in December in London by the official Tenth Anniversary of Le Boutique Bazaar, two Christmas Balls, and the legendary Not New Year’s Eve bash at Ministry of Sound.

If you’re reading this on publication day (Friday November 15), there may still be a few tickets left for the first of Torture Garden’s two nights at its much-loved Caves venue. Friday’s performer line-up has been described as “phenomenal”, including two Australian superstar headliners — the “human heatwave, and purveyor of the beautiful and bizarre” Jacqueline Furey (above left); and “queen of mime and giant balloons” JaiMime.

They’ll be joined by TG favourite Debay De Lux bringing witchy burlesque for her main stage TG debut; and a hosting return from “outstanding Glasgow showboy and MC” Tom Harlow.

Saturday's Edinburgh party will see performances from self-suspension queen Skinny Redhead; self-described "gender-fuck erotic storyteller" and “breathtaking performer” Nova Duh; and “flaming hot” duo Bunny & Felix de la Croix. Tickets for this party are now sold out, but you can join the waiting list via the link below.
