Bad Reputation Blowout
A celebration of scandal, style, and unapologetic self-expression
About the party
Our Bad Reputation Blowout is a celebration of scandal, style, and unapologetic self-expression. Inspired by icons of infamy, villains, rebels, and those who've been judged, misunderstood, or talked about just a little too much, this is a night where bad reputations are worn with pride and turned into power.
Join us at Hidden, Salford (Manchester) on Friday 17th April, with doors opening at 7:30pm, for an evening of performances, catwalks, music, and drama. We're incredibly excited to bring this ball to life and can't wait to see what you bring to the room. Dress however makes you feel most dangerous, glamorous, rebellious, or villainous — if it channels your inner bad reputation, you're doing it right. Who has a bad reputation that needs to be celebrated?
