The Knockout Tour: Violet vs Gottmik Comes to the Carolina Theatre on September 16

Tickets On Sale Now 

DURHAM, NC — July 07, 2025 — The Knockout Tour: Violet vs Gottmik comes to the Carolina Theatre of Durham on September 16, 2025. Tickets are on sale now at the venue’s box office and online at www.carolinatheatre.org. 

International drag superstars Violet Chachki and Gottmik come together for their first ever headline theater tour: “Knockout.” These queens have turned the fashion, drag, music, burlesque, and pop culture worlds upside down, and now they’re putting it all in a boxing ring on a large stage and bringing it to a city near you! 

Fresh off a Crazy Horse Paris residency and “All Stars Live!” last year, audiences have come to expect exciting gender-bending burlesque and aerial performance from Chachki and riveting rock-inspired drag from the world’s most well-known transmasculine drag performer Gottmik – and this show is no exception! Battling it out with a boxing-themed show, these queens will gag you with their over-the-top artistry and storytelling; it’s giving glamour vs. rock ‘n’ roll. Their new show will feature them battling it out with debut live singing performances of their new albums (out in September), show stopping costumes, dancers, original duets, aerial, and audience participation numbers you won’t want to miss!
