“Thanks for the memories”

Buy Black Heart Tickets

We’re so back, y’all. Time to whip out your flip phones, text your friends, and get your scene makeup ready because we’re returning to Panic! At the Dungeon with another edition of Black Heart. We had so much fun Shaking It last time and In The End, we decided we needed to bring this back.

Don’t Trust Me? Ask your friends that went about how much fun they had, because they’ll certainly tell you they were Feeling This. We will have all your favorite songs ready to go to sing and dance to, the dance floor will be back out, and we’ll have a brand new mosh pit system in place to ensure people are able to safely mosh without causing damage to each other or the space.

Once again we’ll have House Punks and a House Makeup Artist joining us to help make all the Good Girls Go Bad (and good boys and good they/thems) and an array of food that will make you feel like you’re King For A Day.

All that dancing and elder emo behavior getting you in the mood for a Taste of (K)ink? Then it’s time to step into the dungeon space where we’re sure you’ll get up to No Good, with a fully equipped play space for impact, rope, cuddling, sex, and anything else you can think of. The music will continue into the lower level so you can enjoy the beats.

Black Heart allows you to once again release your elder emo and turn it back to 1985… uh wait make that late 90’s, so come join us and help make this night another one for the memories!
