I Hate Models to launch new event series ‘Disco Inferno’

I Hate Models announces a new underground event series set to debut in Miami.

Confirmed: I Hate Models is burning up the disco. The French techno legend has announced he is launching a new underground event series, Disco Inferno. The debut edition lands in Miami at the iconic Factory Town on May 16, in collaboration with Factory 93.

No, you should not expect I Hate Models to remix anything from The Trammps. Instead, Disco Inferno will be a fully immersive experience, enveloping the crowd in the underground nightlife.

While the series’ name might suggest flames on the dance floor (and it likely will regardless), the title Disco Inferno traces back to I Hate Models’ own record label, a platform he launched to explore emotional extremity and creative nonconformity. By rejecting rigid boundaries and putting techno-first, the Disco Inferno series is on its way to bringing this philosophy to life in person. It is a direct reflection of his own sonic identity: a little confrontational and unfiltered in the best way.

So far this year, Guillaume Labadie has already delivered a marathon all-night set in Paris and headlined shows in Melbourne and Brisbane. He is slated for major festival appearances throughout 2026, with stops at DGTL Amsterdam, Unreal Basel, and Terminal V Festival. With no signs of slowing down, Disco Inferno emerges.

Known for blending industrial techno, trance, and busting out groovy dance moves behind the decks, I Hate Models has cultivated a global cult following. Disco Inferno will extend Labadie’s vision, and each edition of the event will adapt and evolve. The series will morph to encapsulate the environment and fully take on the energy of every city it visits.

Miami’s Factory Town will provide the perfect backdrop for the series launch. Expect high-impact production from Factory Town’s raw industrial mecca. Together, the collaboration taps into the late-night intensity and distortion every techno purist craves.

Disco Inferno ignites May 16 in Miami. Presale sign-ups are available now, with tickets officially going on sale February 20 on Factory Town’s website.

Hi, I’m Lily! I’m an LA-based concert & festival diehard! My life was forever changed after my first festival, Coachella 2019, and then fully spiraled (in the best way) after my first EDC in 2023. I have attended over 140+ shows… I am the ultimate stage hopper and will always make it to the barricade. I love dubstep, house, trance, techno, bass, you name it.

If I’m not at a show, I’m working as a social media manager & photographer, or probably listening to music, learning how to DJ, planning my next festival, or watching a Gordon Ramsay cooking show with my cat.

I am so excited to be writing for Exron and sharing my love for music. If you’re reading this, thanks for being here and reading my stuff!
