By being bad and doing good, we have donated over $3.6 million for more than 60 local and national LGBTQ nonprofits since 1989.

Our Hosts are at the core of the Circle of Friends tradition of our events and support of our beneficiaries: friends inspiring friends to gather in celebration to benefit community. Hosts provide the funding to produce the Grass Roots Gay Rights Foundation season of events so that 100% of the REAL BAD General Admission ticket price benefits our non-profit beneficiary organizations. And they truly host our events as the primary source of tickets—creating, through their Circle of Friends, REAL BAD’s uniquely familiar, intimate, and playful atmosphere.

DJ MOUSSA (BARCELONA, SPAIN)

MAIN ROOM (HEADLINER)

Coming from a European background, Moussa was born and raised in Germany with a Turkish heritage. Having lived for 13 years in Barcelona, Moussa’s European background embraces its multicultural influence, which also defines his musical diversity.

During his musical education and career of almost 20 years, he holds various primary residencies throughout Europe at brands like Matinee Group and Circuit Festival in Barcelona, and Revolver in Berlin - to mention only a few. Moussa is not only headlining significant parties in Europe but also being regularly booked in North- and South America and even in Africa. His sound reflects a more techy spectrum of Circuit House and covers Techno and Progressive, which he says his roots are based on.

Whatever he plays, his sets never lose the Moussa-Twist and capture the crowd wherever he plays.
