Summon your most fabulous self and step into the enchanted world of The Disco Ball: Spellbound, an immersive, magical takeover that transforms the incredible space at Eastside Bowl into an underground disco. This irresistible night of bewitching performances from the wildly delightful Amm Skellars, piercing sounds of IMGRNT, local drag faves Nichole Ellington Dupree and Delta Granta, alongside irresistable choreography by Spencer Grady. Plus: our lively activations, hidden scenes, and inclusive community make for an unforgettable party more beguiling than any other. Dress to conjure magic, dance in the moonlight, and mix mystery with mayhem. Let loose the wildest version of you.  

ABOUT THE THEME

Spellbound is a one-night-only celebration of the universal themes of magic, transformation, and revelry that have long been intertwined with the arts. Inspired by the ecstatic, theatrical spirit of Dionysian festivals and Bacchanalian revels, this event uplifts communal joy by evoking the power and unique magic that performance, music, and storytelling have to enchant, transport, and connect us.

WHAT TO WEAR

Cast a spell with your Enchanted Forest Disco look: flowing robes, wild textures, animal prints, celestial shimmer, leather and lace. Drape yourself in velvet, drip in gold, sparkle like the stars, or glow like moonlight through the trees.

 

Heavy hors d'oeuvres and bowling access included with all tickets. Upgrade your experience with a VIP or Patron level ticket to access reserved seating and complimentary drink tickets. All proceeds from The Disco Ball will support artist projects in Kindling Arts Festival 2025: Fortunes & Fates (July 24-27).

Queen of the Disco Ball: AMY STUMPFL
​​

Few people have fought harder for visibility for local artists than Amy Stumpfl. As a critic for The Tennessean for many years, and more recently writing for Nashville Scene and Williamson Scene, Amy has written hundreds of preview articles, reviews, critic's picks, interviews, and "best of" awards that have celebrated theater and dance artists in a multitude of meaningful ways. Her impact has been seen as audiences have become more adventurous in support new works and finding new favorite artists. Now, it's our chance to celebrate her as Queen of the Disco Ball!
