Festival of Sins Tickets
Festival of Sins follows its successful October relaunch at The Den & Centro venue with a Christmas Special on Saturday December 11 dedicated to Sloth.
Festival of Sins tickets grant you access to London’s premier alternative fetish club, as they serve up another mind-warping mix of sinful entertainment that can only enhance its reputation as the capital’s most dedicated and energetic showcase for new fetish, burlesque, musical and transgressive talents.
December’s line-up consists of three fashion shows, three performances, four bands, two installation pieces and guest and house DJs.
Highlights include fetish couture from Rubberluv, British stars of Hamburg’s Latexpo; a wickedly slothful performance by Scarlet Diva; top steampunks The Men That Will Not Be Blamed For Nothing launching their Christmas single; and a twisted circus sideshow installation from Lexi Sexx.
The move to a larger venue was necessitated by Festival of Sins outgrowing its home of more than three years — Camden’s Purple Turtle. In the new 1000-capacity, multi-level Den & Centro, Festival of Sins now has separate areas for performance, installations, vending and dancing, and (importantly for the fetish crowd) a well-equipped play space — with bars on every floor.
The evening’s performances take place between 9pm and 2.30am, with major shows on stage in the Circus of Sins room MC’d by Manchester’s inimitable Mister J, and other performances, demos and installations taking place in the Tales of Sins area one floor lower down.
December’s fashion shows introduce Twilight Siren, designer Kat Simpson’s exclusive brand specialising in high quality steel-boned corsets and bodywear for fashion, lingerie, fetish, tightlacing and bridal, while Engineer of Desire’s designs will provide a captivating blend of steampunk, futuristic detailing and glossy handmade corsetry.
Also making their debut on the London fashion stage — in a show specially curated by TheFetishistas.com — latex label Rubberluv follow their Hamburg Latexpo appearance with an extravaganza starring one of Germany’s top fetish models making her UK debut.

Fans of splosh-style fun will not want to miss the performance by Gooey Grappling Girls, three feisty females who combine food fighting and wrestling in some very messy entertainment. Amber Sweet’s piece, meanwhile, sees her assume the guise of an 18th Century faded English rose contemplating her only possible escape from a sad life — performed to “The Art of Suicide” by Emilie Autumn.
Fetish club favourite Scarlet Diva provides the evening’s third performance: a tribute to the Sloth theme in which she proves — with the help of a pile of pillows and the music of X-Press 2 and David Byrne — that she’s wicked and sometimes just plain lazy!
December 11’s eclectic live music line-up includes the debut performance of Sin-de-rella featuring sultry-voiced songstress Emily Grieve, one of the London fetish scene’s favourite (not to mention tallest) models.
In complete contrast, Beautiful Deadly Children, who’ve been called the UK vampire scene's “most decadently dressed individuals”, will be popping in from Hell (aka Birmingham) to bring their famous brand of kitsch Goth to the Festival of Sins stage. And latex-loving pop-punk purveyor Kiria’s threat of a performance involving dwarves and filth will surely maintain her reputation for combining live music with extreme theatre.
Last but not least, top steampunk band The Men That Will Not Be Blamed For Nothing bring their grimy steam-powered world of ettiquette, empire, lunatics, hot air balloons and brass goggles to FoS for the official launch party of the world’s first steampunk Christmas record, 'A Very Steampunk Christmas'!
Lexi Sexx adds a twisted circus sideshow flavour to December Festival of Sins with a tented installation based on her grotesque tattooed lady stage show, featuring blockhead and glass-eating tricks, stamping on broken glass and other harmless pastimes. In addition, Ropesluts sees performers Boykitten and Rod MacDonald lampooning the reverence with which elements of the kink scene treat bondage.
Following feedback from its first, wrath-themed night at the venue, some improvements are being made to the layout for December 11’s Christmas sloth-fest. These include expanding the Tales of Sins play area and expanding the chill-out space complete with bar and lots of comfy seating.
Last, but by no means least, guest DJs David TG (Torture Garden) and DeeBee will be adding their talents to those of resident Festival of Sins DJs Guy Thompson, David de Vynel, Simon Iridium, Paul Burston, Markabre Charade, Lacing Lilith and Louis Parsons.
Expect an eclectic mix of Dirty Electro, Twisted Electronica, Industrial, House, Breaks, Dubstep, Alternative, Deviant Rock and Glitter–Glam with sprinkles of SLutcore and Sexy Mash-up, and you won’t go far wrong!
