For anyone who thinks the rave scene has lost its edge, you haven’t been to Lingerieve. The legendary lingerie-clad party, a staple of the Phoenix scene for nearly two decades, just dropped a sizzling look back at its 2024 bash while announcing massive plans for 2025 that promise an even wilder ride.
Last year’s event, backed by industry giant Chaturbate, was a full-blown sensory assault in the best way possible. Party-goers swarmed the new venue, Third Base in Tempe, for a night of high-energy dance, dazzling fashion, and just a little bit of glorious mess.
A Night of Happy Hardcore and Sploshing
The 2024 edition was a landmark event. After finding a new home, Lingerieve cemented its reputation as the go-to party for alternative fun. Organizer and AltStar Hall of Famer Clix MessyHot, the mastermind behind Clix Bag of Trix Productions, couldn’t be happier with how it went down.
“A crowd of lingerie-clad revelers danced through the night, which was highlighted by a retro all vinyl Happy Hardcore set by Flapjack from Los Angeles.”
Of course, it wouldn’t be a Clix event without his signature touch. The night also featured a live sploshing performance from MessyHot herself, while lucky winners of the lingerie contest walked away with prizes from sponsors like AltStar Magazine, AltPorn.Net, and Blue Blood’s Barely Evil. This fusion of rave culture and adult performance is what makes Lingerieve unique—it’s a space where different worlds of alternative entertainment collide.
Bigger, Bolder, and More International for 2025
If 2024 was about perfecting the formula, 2025 is about blowing it wide open. Clix isn’t just resting on his laurels; he’s expanding the entire experience. The event, which started back in 2007 to bring a “spicy fashion element” to Phoenix, is growing up and going global.
Recent buzz on social media confirms that Lingerieve is importing talent directly from the heart of the hardcore scene. As Clix announced, the party is about to get a major dose of international energy.
“For 2025 Lingerieve will continue to delight the fans of hard dance by featuring an ambassador from the UK Hardcore scene: Alex Prospect, and to expand our reach, we will also have a second stage representing goth/ebm/synthwave DJs.”
That’s right—two stages! While Alex Prospect brings authentic UK Hardcore to the main floor, a second stage will cater to fans of darker electronic music. This move broadens the festival’s appeal, inviting new crowds into the fold and proving that after all these years, Lingerieve is still evolving.
From Online to the Dance Floor
The sponsorship from a powerhouse like Chaturbate highlights a major trend in the adult industry: bridging the gap between online platforms and in-person events. By backing parties like Lingerieve, brands are investing in real-world communities, giving fans and creators a chance to connect beyond the screen. It’s about building a culture, not just a website.
Clix MessyHot, a multi-award-winning producer and photographer, has been at the forefront of this culture for decades. His consistent wins at the AltStar Awards for Best Rave are a testament to his ability to create unforgettable experiences that keep people coming back year after year. As Lingerieve prepares to turn old enough to vote, it’s clear the party is not just surviving—it’s thriving, fueled by a passion for music, fashion, and fearless fun.
