The Dancing Death Eaters have hosted a series of wizard rock concerts in New York City called Avada KedavRock!
There have been four prior installments: Avada KedavRock! 2012 (held November 10th), Avada KedavRock! 2014 (held May 4th), Avada KedavRock! 2019 (held November 9th), and Avada KedavRock! 2024 (held November 9th).
To celebrate the release of organizer Irvin Khaytman's new book, Malfoy: The Most Treacherous Family, there is going to be a special Malfoy-themed wizard rock concert in 2025. Save the date for Saturday, October 18th, 2025 - and get ready for Wrock the Peacock!
Get all the Key Facts and find out who the Performers will be at this concert. And find out how you can participate in the Lip Sync Battle that'll be staged in the middle of the concert!
Across the last four concerts, fourteen different wizard rock bands have performed, with several making their NYC (or even their world) debuts. As the wizard rock scene has quieted somewhat, Avada KedavRock! has become the exclusive home of several wrockers, and is the only place to see acts like Celestial Warmbottom and Priori Incantatem. The wizard rock is interspersed with dance numbers by the Dancing Death Eaters, who have performed seventeen different dance numbers across the four concerts.
These concerts are a chance to showcase some lesser-known talents in the wrock scene, and serve as a reunion for the tightly-knit community. To see how much fun was had, take a look at the video announcing Avada KedavRock! 2014:
