LOS ANGELES, Calif. – The 2025 Trans Erotica Awards (TEAs) have announced King Noire as the event’s official pre-show entertainment, where he will kick things off on March 9, 2025, at the historic Avalon in Hollywood.

“I’m hyped to be able to share my two loves of music and porn and put on a show at the TEAs,” King Noire said.

“We’re so excited to have King Noire to start our show,” said TEA Executive Producer Kristel Penn. “He’s got immense talent and presence, and I think his performance is the perfect way to welcome The Gurls to the stage.”
