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. The curtains are drawn, the heat is turned up, and the dance floor transforms into a world where heavy disco meets pure magnetism under the glow of the blacklight.

It’s a night built for the bassline, the movement, and the absolute magic that happens when this crowd comes 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 Centerpiece: The Southern Hemisphere’s biggest disco ball.* (*Unverified by Guinness, but the challenge stands.)
The Unknown: A few surprises are staying under wraps until the lights go down.

The Directive:

Wear whatever makes you feel incredible. Metallics, latex, feathers, neon, sequins, or keep it classic. Show everyone what blacklight. disco. sensual. mayhem. means to you.

The Roster:

The artist names are staying under wraps just a little longer. The full DJ and performer lineup drops soon. Secure a place before the night reveals who’s running the show.

The dance floor is waiting. Don’t waste it.

Pride After Dark is a dedicated safe space and welcoming haven for everyone in the community. Look after one another, respect the vibe, and celebrate who you are.
