Come Correct or Don't Come At All: LUSH is a safe, inclusive space centering LGBTQIA+ love, bodies, and joy. Anyone bringing racism, transphobia, fatphobia, or hate of any kind will be escorted out, never to return.

NOLA CRUZ:

Back for year ✌🏾at LUSH, DJ Nola Cruz is stepping into Sonoma County’s hottest queer dance floor—where the vibes are bold, the energy is high, and the community shows out every time. From the Gulf South to the Bay, she’s known for turning nights into full-on experiences, blending soulful house, disco, and feel-good bangers that keep the floor moving all night long. LUSH isn’t just a party—it’s a safe, inclusive space to dance, connect, and celebrate—and Nola Cruz is bringing the heat to match. Come ready to sweat, sparkle, and lose yourself in the rhythm. https://www.instagram.com/djnolacruz/

PONY BAMBINO:

The People's Booty, The Italian Stallion; it's Pony Bambino! This flaming hot twunk is a Queer, Trans Non-Binary, kinky Drag King full of passion! He is the winner of the 2025 Golden Dildeaux Award for Bay Area Drag. He won the People's Choice award in the 2025 San Francisco Drag King competition! He's hung like a horse...are you ready to ride? https://www.instagram.com/ponybambino/

DJ DYOPS:

DYOPS is the founder, co-producer and resident DJ of LUSH. Beyond her own event, she’s a versatile, experienced DJ who brings intention, precision, and a deep love for creating unforgettable experiences. As a member of the vibrant LGBTQIA+ community, DYOPS is all about creating an inclusive space where people can arrive exactly as they are and feel held by the music and each other. Her sound lives where house grooves collide with hip hop attitude and bass-heavy grime, building constellations of sound where bodies gather to glow. https://linktr.ee/djdyops
