Renate x Queer Vinyl Night

Renate

Care to start your weekend early? Our good friends of Queer Vinyl Night are taking over Renate Thursday evening for a night of vinyl electro, disco, house and techno taking you from the early afternoon to the crack of dawn. It's free before eight, so come early and stay late.

Friday 21.

Body Language

Kreuzwerk

If you're going to blow the arse out of your weekend on Friday do it here — Body Language is bringing their cheeky, groovy, slutty queer dancefloor to KREUZWERK and there's no reason in the world worth missing out.

SUBSTATION

AMT

Time for this month's Substation, folks. Slutty darkroom techno, disco, house... a little something for everyone across two floors. This month, you have representatives from Body Language, Pleasure Patterns, TANGA, Mamba Negra and ARENA on hand—131bpm, Alma Negrot, ALP, Broccoli, and NORA . Fire from start to finish, I guarantee it.

Saturday 22.

Out of Touch

Marmorbar

Fancy a smaller affair where you can get smushed in a scrum of queer rugby players? Here's your spot. 4Q4 Festival having a warm-up before next week's festival by teaming up with the Pride in Touch queer rugby league for a league afterparty with some of our local favourites on decks and a star cast of performers.

La Mala Noche

RSO

God almighty what a lineup. Running Saturday night until Monday morning, La Noche and Mala Junta are bringing an all-star cast to the decks for an absolutely titanic bacchanal — ābnamā, Berenice, Byron Yeates, Hyperaktivist — need I go on? Expect a bit of a mixed crowd, and dancefloors to die for.

Sunday 23.

Garage Girls

OXI

For a fine Sunday afternoon affair, your local FLINTA* UKG collective takes to OXI with special guests Moxie, livwutang, and Jana Falcon. Come caffeinated, a Garage Girls only host high-energy affairs.
