PartyPocalypse, SDCC Friday Night After Party!

Step into a world reclaimed by chaos and by those who thrive amidst the wreckage- this is PARTYPOCALYPSE. This Comic Con afterparty invites you to an immersive post-apocalyptic extravaganza, where the remnants of civilization collide with the echoes of a bygone era, marking the final night of Party HQ 2024.

As you enter, you'll be greeted by a scene straight out of your favorite dystopian fantasies. The venue is transformed into a wasteland oasis, with rugged decor inspired by the desolate landscapes of Fallout, The Last Of Us, and Mad Max. Salvaged metal scraps, weathered signs, and flickering neon lights guide your path through the ruins.

The air is charged with anticipation as you wander through the maze of themed zones, each offering its own unique blend of chaos and charm. Encounter makeshift shelters and rusted vehicles, remnants of a world long forgotten, while scavengers and wasteland warriors roam the grounds.

The soundscape shifts seamlessly between the pulse-pounding beats of DJ Eliot and D-SYFER-IT spinning gritty, industrial tracks, to the raw energy of live band. See the debut of "Wasteland War Boys", an industrial/metal project by members of The Flux Capacitors featuring celebrity guests belting out anthems of rebellion and survival. Expect a high-octane thrill ride of a playlist that pays homage to the eclectic soundtracks of Borderlands and the fierce spirit of Furiosa.

So gear up, venture forth, and prepare for a night of unforgettable adventures in a world where the only rule is survival. Welcome to the Comic Con afterparty: where the end is just the beginning.

And then… Nestled deep within the heart of the experience lies a clandestine sanctuary, a haven for those who revel in the darker and sinister. Inspired by the lairs of iconic villains from film and literature, this Villains VIP Lair is a testament to power, prestige, and the allure of the forbidden. This exclusive space will feature sets from Atomic Blonde, special burlesque performances from Fannie Sinclair, and host a special Photo Op for VIP guests.

GA tickets include access to the party, all live entertainment, and IG-worthy photo ops.

More surprises

VIP Table reservations are available to flaunt that gunter Leaderboard status and give your friends a time they'll never forget. Purchasing a table gets you the rights to the table from us but you must also hit a minimum spend at the table w/ the venue's service people which is an additional charge upon arrival. For the 6 Highline tables in the rear of the club it is a $500 minimum spend (this is roughly one bottle plus some additional drinks). For the 8 dance floor tables, it is a $750 minimum spend (roughly 2 bottles). These table purchases comes with 1 VIP ticket. Pro-tip: don't let your friends order from the bar, order from service people to hit your minimum faster.

DRESS CODE: There is no formal dress code, but you can dress the part in your finest wasteland attire, whether you're a hardened survivor, a cunning raider, or a wandering wanderer. The only limit is your imagination as you join fellow cosplayers and fans in celebrating the resilience of humanity in the face of adversity. We’d love to see “wasted” versions of classic comic con cosplays!

WHAT IS XLE PRODUCTIONS?

XLE, the 2023 Shruggie-Award winning event production team voted to have the best parties at Comic Con, is a group created for fans and by fans. They have become known for innovating themed nightlife at Comic Con and beyond, tapping into the kind of after-hours experiences that fans crave year after year.

Designed for the kind of fans who might spend dozens of hours on their cosplays, XLE parties go far above and beyond the usual pop-up banners and decorative lighting; they are loving deep dives into some of our favorite genre worlds, with decor, experiences and performer aesthetics to match.

This year, they will be doing three new themes at their Parq Nightclub residency, starting with the latest iteration of Ready Party One, which has been the staple preview-night afterparty since 2018 and traditionally features various intersections of 80's genre fiction. Ready Party One will be followed by two more nights of high-octane nerdy fun - featuring live performances and guest appearances by familiar faces, flow arts and burlesque entertainment, and of course, themed decor and photo ops.

*XLE’s Party HQ events are not affiliated with any major movie studio. This is for fans, by fans.
