Ready Party One: Legends Of Fantasy, SDCC Kick Off Party!

Ride that unicorn back into the OASIS for Ready Party One, XLE’s signature Comic Con kick-off party, marking Night 1 of Party HQ Comic Con 2024 at Parq Nightclub.

This year, your quest takes you to the Legends of Fantasy planet, where the echoes of 80’s fantasy films linger in every shadow and stone. Inspired by timeless classics like Labyrinth, Legend, Princess Bride, and The NeverEnding Story, this party is a journey into the heart of fantastical realms and daring adventures.

Venture into a magical, glittering forest, and behold the rare creatures that lurk there. Emerge into a dance floor set in the ruins of a castle, and witness an incredible set from fan-favorite flashback band The Flux Capacitors, staple of Ready Party One since 2018. After Flux and guest performers take their bow, DJ Elliot will steal your hearts and dance moves away into the wee hours.

Ready Party One: Legends of Fantasy has everything else that makes it the favorite party at SDCC since 2018, including fantastic performances, incredible cosplay, unique experiences and a night full of music, laughter, and magic.

And then… Nestled deep within the heart of the party lies a clandestine sanctuary, a haven for those who revel in the darker side of fantasy. 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.

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.

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.
