Nashville experimental pop artist Nordista Freeze first conceived of Space Prom in 2018, and every year since then its extravagance has only grown. His discography is characteristically whimsical, and his live performances are known for their dramatic flair, and Space Prom is a logical extension of that. The goal is to reclaim prom for everyone while hailing back to ‘80s prom excellence, channeling the rock music of the era through a powerhouse band joined by a new guest vocalists in every city. Joining Nordista Freeze on the Athens stop of this touring prom is local pop favorite Hotel Fiction, who has helped assemble a large lineup of guest vocalists including Nicholas Mallis, Cardynal, P.O. the Priceless One, Bea Porges, Cannon Rogers and many more. Other stops on the tour include a Gainesville date with flipturn and a Savannah date with Dog Days. Galactic attire is encouraged.
