The night
One room,
straight through
DJs, singers, bounce artists and instrumentalists, one act into the next, no gaps to check your phone in. A costume contest judged live from the stage, and the biggest room we've packed yet.
The lineup
DJs, singers, bounce artists and instrumentalists, back to back.
Costume contest
Judged live. Come as something worth photographing.
Free parking
At the venue. Pull up, park, walk in.
Mikecol
Seven sold out.
This is eight.
The New Orleans producer and artist who created Jazz Bounce, a sound that puts the soul of jazz over the bass-heavy pulse of bounce. What started as a run of records turned into a live show that has sold out seven straight times, and every one of them has been a stage for the city’s own artists, not just his.
“Mikecol makes history in New Orleans with Jazz Bounce Lounge, a sold-out experience in 30 hours.”

The $1,000 costume contest

To the best costume in the room
Theme · Noir
Dress like
you mean it
The theme is noir. Think trench coats and fedoras, femme fatales, black and white head to toe, or your own dark twist on it. Judged live from the stage, in front of the whole room.
Any costume can win. You don’t have to dress on theme to take the thousand, just be the best in the room.
Any costume
Noir, horror, full character, or none of the above. All of it is eligible.
Judged live
From the stage, during the show, with the whole room watching.
$1,000 cash
One winner. The best costume of the night takes it.
