Champagne Sundays: Champagne Trap's first-Sunday party returns to El Malo

The Atlanta DJ's monthly party at El Malo on Memorial Drive comes back Sunday, November 1, with Cleotrvppv on the bill.

Halloween weekend in Atlanta doesn't end on Saturday. On Sunday, November 1, Champagne Trap brings Champagne Sundays back to El Malo, 777 Memorial Drive SE, with Cleotrvppv on the bill. The DICE listing has music from 7 p.m., tickets from $10, and a 21+ door.

Champagne Sundays happens on the first Sunday of every month, so this year November's edition lands the day after Halloween. It's built as a send-off rather than a costume party. Come for a Sunday night out, and leave the Saturday wig at home.

The sweetest Sunday in ATL.

That line comes from the party's own billing. For September's Labor Day weekend edition, DICE billed Champagne Sundays as "the sweetest Sunday in ATL," with a lineup of Berma, Jamie-Lee, Cleotrvppv and, in the listing's words, "the mayor himself, Champagne Trap." The party has run month after month this fall, with editions in September and October.

Champagne Trap is a DJ, not a band, and El Malo is his home base. Our records show him playing Atlanta more than any other market, and most of those dates are at this room. He has been a fixture on El Malo bills since at least late 2024, when he shared the lineup with Cleotrvppv and Thrice Groove. He also plays the venue's after-parties. In August he DJed El Malo's after-party for Chxrry's The Ego Tour.

Cleotrvppv is a regular part of the party, too. The DJ has appeared on Champagne Trap's El Malo lineups since those 2024 dates and on this year's Champagne Sundays bills.

El Malo is a big part of the appeal. The Memorial Drive club has become a center for after-parties and takeover nights. Its calendar runs from tour after-parties to promoter takeovers like a summer Pangea night. A recurring first-Sunday party gives that calendar a fixed point.

The DICE listing gives no other November names yet beyond Champagne Trap and Cleotrvppv, so expect the full lineup to fill in closer to the date. Ticket prices have varied from edition to edition, so buy early. And if Saturday ran late, no one at El Malo will mind you showing up tired.
