In 2016 we decided to see how many more metalesquers were out there, so we started the world's first festival dedicated to Heavy Metal Burlesque - Metalesque Fest!
The Fest happens annually in October and features burlesque, drag, aerial, circus & performance arts, pole dance, fire, and more, all set to pounding metal.
METALESQUE FEST® is a registered trademark of Sign of the Beast Burlesque LLC
"This Fest is hands down one of the best & unique festivals I've ever been in.
It was an evil & metal sundae in the most delicious combo .... thank you (S.O.T.B.) for bringing me out to experience this black obsidian jewel of a festival!! I’m so inspired by all the metal acts I saw - funny, sexy to wonderfully weird. I heard metal songs that I never thought one could dance to, and I saw costumes that I never thought one could pair with metal! You bad bitches have inspired me to dig deeper in hell and create darker acts! Long live Sign of the Beast Burlesque!"
