Mr Mayhem Announces The Mayhem Ball: Atlanta's Premier Black Tie Gala Celebrating His 30th Birthday

ATLANTA, GA — Mayhem World Entertainment today announced The Mayhem Ball, an inaugural black tie gala celebrating the 30th birthday of Devon Wallace, known as Mr Mayhem (@mrmayhemking). The exclusive formal event will take place on May 23, 2026 in Atlanta, Georgia, bringing together the city's elite in entertainment, fashion, music, and nightlife for what promises to be the most talked-about celebration of the year.

"This isn't just a birthday party — it's a statement," said Mr Mayhem, founder of Mayhem World Entertainment. "The Mayhem Ball is about bringing people together in a way that demands excellence. When you walk through those doors, you leave ordinary behind. Every guest, every outfit, every moment is curated. This is the night Atlanta will remember."

The event features a strictly enforced black tie dress code — a deliberate choice that reflects the host's commitment to creating an extraordinary atmosphere. Guests who do not meet the dress code will be denied entry, reinforcing the event's uncompromising standard of elegance.

In a nod to modern formal fashion, The Mayhem Ball will permit premium designer sneakers (such as Common Projects, Balenciaga, and Lanvin) when paired with tailored suits — a progressive stance that acknowledges the evolution of black tie while maintaining its core commitment to intentional, elevated dressing.

Tickets are available now at mayhemballatlanta.com. Early Access tickets ($15) sold out prior to general on-sale. Current tiers: General Admission ($25), All-Inclusive ($50), and VIP Booth ($200).
