Falling Stars: grownup prom for the weird and the beautiful

Sat, Jun 6, 3:00 AM
From In Other Rooms: immersive theme parties

This prom is destined for you--a star-themed event for the people who've never fit in, and never wanted to. It'll feel like the rebellious fever-hot rush of dancing to the music you love, DJ'd by [Chase '77](https://www.instagram.com/djchasecoppins/), including **The Killers, Cage the Elephant, Interpol, Boy Harsher, Franz Ferdinand, Tame Impala, tr/st, The Strokes, NIN, Empire of the Sun, Boys Noize**...you get it. **Add stars or other space details into your outfit** to enter to be Stars of the Night, our version of prom king and queen--though we're not doing norms around here! Need ideas for what to wear? [Check out the Pinterest lookbook here](https://www.pinterest.com/inotherrooms/falling-stars-prom-june-5-2026/). But just be as creative and fun as you feel. We want the real you! Free cupcakes, and Polaroids of you and your plus-one, custom corsages for sale, and interactive surprises are in store. "Date"/+1 encouraged but NOT required. Get your ticket by May 31 for $10; $12 thereafter for group members. This is the prom where we don't need to be cool or special. We want to dance with \*you\*--the weird and the beautiful.
