Goodbye to The Purple Turtle @ FoS: Greed on August 14th
As those of you who attended Festival of Sins: Gluttony on June 12th will know, after three fantastic years at The Purple Turtle in Camden it is time for us to move on to a bigger venue.
The Purple Turtle has been instrumental in making Festival of Sins the night it is and we are, without question, unbelievably grateful to them for everything they have done.
With this in mind, we want to give The Purple Turtle the big send-off it deserves and, therefore, Festival of Sins: Greed will be our final 'Hurrah!' to all the staff and management there, whom we have come to know and love over the years.
We have the new venue all arranged and will be making the big announcement when the time is right but we can tell you that it will be bigger - much bigger - and feature a dedicated dance arena; performance art space; separate stage arena (featuring the quality and diversity of acts you have come to expect from Festival of Sins) and something all you fetishists have been asking for - a dedicated play area where you can explore your own sins. As another exciting bonus the opening hours for the new Festival of Sins will be much longer, a whole four hours longer in fact with us closing at 7am - nicely in time for you to get a tube home.
So please join us on August 14th for Festival of Sins: Greed and say a final farewell to The Purple Turtle and its staff for all the support and love they have shown us and you over the last three years, before we look to the future with an all new Festival of Sins!

Fast becoming a 'must-have' accesory in the couture alternative fashion scene, Ghoulia's Peculiars creations include elaborate masks, wigs and prop-headpieces. We have heard rumours that this show promises to be both artistic and erotic - their first solo London live show - catch a piece of fetish-alt fashion history.

Devilish Dog Logik is using candy against sweet-toothed Kitty Blue to get his own way but what will she have to do for her favourite treat? A mix of sugary cheesecake, delicious Burlesque and all performed around giant candy… The ideal summer snack!
Grimstone & Treacle
A titillating, funny cross-gender dose of musical entertainment. Sings include "It doesn't seem polite to be bisexual" and "The Unwanted Erection"

"I believe that true love never dies..." The Diva returns breathing smoky promises whispered in a Weimar speakeasy. Glamour, danger and world-weary yearning intertwine in a sensual electro-drama. Opera and torch song conjure up forgotten tragedies. Visions of Dietrich and Dali gaze through a glass darkly at demimonde dancers locked in a hypnotic disco daze. On stage only the computer and the diva. Together, alone. Welcome to her world.

This Sheffield 5-piece says: "Musically in tune we write dark pop (master) pieces that are occasionally violent and always emotive. Words are incredibly important and we like nothing more than firing out a tirade of bitterness to a roomful of wide-eyed faces."
