• Saturday 6.

Friday 5.

Cuddles

ÆDEN

The biggest bash of the weekend: the Cuddles crew brings you two genre fluid, queer chaotic, camp, and sultry dancefloors for queers of all creeds. Gorgeous lineup as ever (don't you dare miss Angel D’Lite) and a mystery guest DJ to add a little intrigue. If you need a marathon night this weekend; this is it.

Riot

Lark

Pride might be over but the Riot isn't. Here's a wee queer party that's all heart. With some of our local favorites on decks; ābnamā, ELAYN, Mauro Feola, Mx. Sür, your gonnadance your wee socks off, love — it's going to be the kind of comfy cosy boogie that'll leave you wandering home in that happy morning fuzz.

cunt core

Zur Klappe

DJ handbag's hosting big, bold and beautiful night for to raise a little bitta cash for a gender-affirming tit upgrade and for Casa Kua. She's playing through the night with a bunch of sweethearts who just so happen to be some of the best god-damn DJs in town. Look at this goddamn line-up. My only question is how on earth they're all going to fit into Zur Klappe? We're going to get cosy in there, babes.

Saturday 6.

Hey Mama: A FLINTA* Fuckboi Party

NK Location: Telegram

Hey Mama: The FLINTA* fuckboi party is back for volume II and things are only getting more #toxic. For those out of the loop: Ever see a frat party, with a bunch of dudebros called Zack and Brandon shotgunning beer and yelling about sports [gag]? What about that… but dykey? I got you covered. Come let out your inner meathead.

Dress code*: fuckboi, fratbro, varsity sports, trucker hats, hey mama lesbians. *If you’re too femme to function, cheerleader/sorority girl is also acceptable.

This year's fuckboi party will be a fundraiser for 3ezwa; a financial and legal support for folks facing repression for taking a stand for the human rights of Palestinians. Our dear friend and community pillar, Kitty, to put it mildly, had the ever-living shit beaten out of them by some Polizei pricks last week during a peaceful protest against the war crimes being committed in Gaza. They’ll be out of work for some time, but with community support, and as a result of the media attention the attack received, their fundraiser has raised enough to pay the bills and care for them for the time being. Not everyone would be so fortunate. So, if you have anything in your pocket to give, please do make a little donation to ensure folks like Kitty have the support they need. That’s community, baby. We look after our own.

Quatsch

Zur Klappe

The cutesy-bootsy, genre-slutty queer party that's bringing back Summer for one night only. We love a theme party: Teeny Bikini Santorini. Bring your teeniest bikini, your tightest trunks, whatever makes you feel hotter than a homo-erotic sculpture of a Greek god. The cosy little Keller of Zur Klappe will be getting silly, sweet, and hotter than a Mediterranean shoreline: with fewer sunburnt polo-shirted British knobs.

Succulent City

Crack Bellmer

The sun is out and the day-parties come with it. Succulent City (gorgeous name for a party; pure lesbian bait) is kicking it off at 2pm this Saturday over at Crack Bellmer. Chill on the patio, knock back a spritz or five, boogie to the housie disco sounds. And best of all it's free— unless you tip your DJ, and you should FYI.
