Pride After Dark: blacklight. disco. sensual. mayhem.
Some nights are meant for the archives. This is one of them.
Pride After Dark returns to rewrite the rules of the evening. We are pulling the curtains, turning up the heat, and stepping into a world where heavy disco meets pure magnetism under the glow of the blacklight.
We are here for the bassline, the movement, and the absolute magic that happens when this crowd gets together.
The Blueprint:Three DJs holding the room in the palm of their hands.
The Artists: Drag, burlesque, pole, and gogo talent commanding the stage all night.
The Centrepiece: The Southern Hemisphere’s biggest disco ball.* (Unverified by Guinness, but we dare someone to come challenge us).
The Unknown: A few surprise elements we’re keeping under wraps until the lights go down.
The Directive:
Wear whatever makes you feel incredible. Bring the metallics, the latex, the feathers, the neon, the sequins, or keep it classic. Just show us what blacklight. disco. sensual. mayhem. means to you.
The Roster:
We're keeping the artist names under wraps just a little longer. The full DJ and performer lineup drops soon. Lock your space in before we reveal who's running the night.
The floor is yours. Don’t waste it.
This is a dedicated safe space and welcoming haven for everyone in our community. Look after one another, respect the vibe, and celebrate who you are.
First Release tickets are live now until 23.59pm Monday 17 August or until sold out.
R18 | ID25 in operation at the door.
