Guilty Pleasures: it’s like stepping into the rabbit hole. Inhibitions are left at the door as you delve into the Guilty Pleasures landscape, where pop music rules and mayhem ensues. And on Saturday June 30th Camden’s KOKO is transformed into a Summer Garden Party, with a raucous twist.

The typical English summer tea party is turned on its head for the Guilty Pleasures: Summer Garden Party: think large floppy hats, striped tops, cricket whites, sandals, and large sunglasses after dark, add in a good helping of debauched fun, and you’ve got yourself a Guilty Pleasures special event – and one you’ll remember for the rest of your days!

Guilty Pleasures is one of London’s most thrilling monthly parties. Throughout the year KOKO houses an eccentric, glittering, all-out sensory overload of an event, in a total celebration of all things POP! This time, with the Summer Garden Party theme, we’ve got ourselves a blurry, tipsy version of a picnic with the Queen, Sunday best and all! Of course, fancy dress is optional, but it’s all part of the dazzling Guilty Pleasures world! Trust us, you’ll regret it if you DON’T join in!

The Guilty Pleasures Summer Garden Party brings together a wonderful lineup of acts whose mission in life is to entertain. Guilty Pleasures the ULTIMATE party: it’s like a trip to the circus, a night at the cabaret, the biggest and bestest birthday party you’ve ever had, and a whistle-stop tour of all of London’s entertainment hotspots, all rolled into one. It has everything you could ever want from a party, and so much you never imagined you wanted – until now…

A variety of all-singing, all-dancing performers grace the stage at every KOKO event. Boldly and unashamedly, they pull out their funkiest threads and most extreme moves to the soundtrack of pure pop history – all to the audience’s delight, making Guilty Pleasures the original and best party to get your groove on. Party-starter and Guilty Pleasures founder Sean Rowley spins tunes, all-singing, all-dancing DJ Anna Greenwood will entertain with infectious enthusiasm, and super special guests The LipSinkers present their live twisted take on pop.

The UK’s premier all-bear cabaret and burlesque troupe The Dreambears dance every which way, while the DiscoB*tches trio are super hot dancing hostesses for the night. And, of course, Guilty Pleasures’ very own in-house priest is there to listen to your every woe, in Father Oates and His Confessional Booth. And in Room 2 Power Ballads R Us will have you singing your heart out. At Guilty Pleasures it’s not about who you are, where you’re from, who you know or what you look like – pop music is the church and everyone at Guilty Pleasures is the exulting procession!

Guilty Pleasures was first established in 2004, created by super music fan, pop music aficionado and disco-lover Sean Rowley as a concept on his cult BBC London radio show. Rowley – who won this year’s silver medal winner of the Sony Music Broadcaster of the Year award – absolutely lives and breathes pop music in all its forms, and Guilty Pleasures has gone strong for almost eight years, with a dedicated following that grows with every month.

The evolution of Guilty Pleasures from the germ of an idea to the colourful, adrenalin-fuelled, monthly pop music celebration it is now is testament to the sheer amount of fun that is to be had at one of these events. It’s full-throttle, it’s out of the closet, it’s in your face and it’s going to get you!

Revellers from all ages and backgrounds go to Guilty Pleasures. Whether it’s your first time or your 11th, you’ll find yourself whipped into a frenzy with the great party tunes and infectious atmosphere. Sean Rowley’s personality and enthusiasm on-stage rubs off onto the 1600 party people, who dance and sing along with him, hanging on to his every record – it’s truly exhilarating fun!

With a well-established reputation for being the go-to destination for an all-out indulgent extravaganza, at Guilty Pleasures EVERYONE is invited – just be prepared to sing, dance, be dazzled, hypnotised by live performers and, most of all, have an absolutely sensational time! Leave your inhibitions at the door and indulge in your Guilty Pleasures!
